LADY GAGA & The Oldest Swinger In Town..Mr Tony Bennett

OLD DEVIL MOON

"Old Devil Moon" is a popular song composed by Burton Lane, with lyrics by E.Y. Harburg for the 1947 musical Finian's Rainbow

This is a terrific example of a smooth jazz/swing song. The lyric ,by EY Harburg,has wonderful rhythmic feel ,word play with a hint of humour. Lady Gaga and Frank Sinatra are just two of the dozens of vocalists who have enjoyed performing this unique jazz number. Listen to my cover here.

LADY GAGA goes JAZZ

Well.... after the Duets album with Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga  has revealed that she is planning to record a jazz-inspired Christmas album later this year,according to the FT.

"The 'Judas' star, who is currently number one on the midweek chart with her second album Born This Way, made the confession during an interview with Stephen Fry for the Financial Times."I thought it would be really sweet to do a Christmas release of GaGa and the jazz standards," she explained. "I really want to do it. I've spoken to my manager."

GaGa recently claimed that people want to "tear [her] down" for her controversial subject matter and lyrics in her records."Born This Way" is currently on course to become the biggest-selling record of the year so far in the UK."

It is not generally known that she started off in East Coast jazz clubs...long before hitting the pop scene. It seems that working with Tony has tempted her back to her roots!
