Singer Tony Bennett needs no introduction in jazz history. This legend's career has spanned more than seventy years. Tony Bennett has recorded many iconic duets during his career, building bridges between jazz and various other musical genres, collaborating with Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse, Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, and many others.
Honoring and commemorating the legend on the eve of his 100th birthday, the concert program will feature an unprecedented meeting of two voices: eclectic German jazz vocalist Kilian Sladek and Latvian jazz singer Santa Šillere, who will build new bridges in duets not only between genres, but also in new interpretations of world-famous melodies such as "Cheek to cheek", "Body and soul", "The way you look tonight" and others.
