The Silver Lining - The Songs of Jerome Kern

Following the enormous success of his #1, Grammy Award winning album with Lady Gaga, Cheek To Cheek, this new release continues the classic series of Tony Bennett album releases celebrating the essentials of the Great American Songbook. The Silver Lining: The Songs Of Jerome Kern is an appreciation of the genius of Jerome David Kern (1885-1945), one of the 20th century's most important American composers of musical theatre and popular music.

With his 90th birthday less than a year away, The Silver Lining: The Songs Of Jerome Kern defines what makes Tony Bennett unique in the pantheon of great singers and is a testament to the legacy that he continues to create as a recording artist and influence in the music industry. Over the course of his career, Kern composed more than 700 songs, creating musical elements used in more than 100 stage works.
