Steppin' Out is that too rare event: a perfect singer, world class accompaniment and popular music's standards coming together. Tony Bennett continues to astound -- his 1993 voice remains as vital and powerful, and sensitive, as ever. Even in 2000, Tony does not sound any the worse for wear after 50 (!) years of performing.
Given that Tony is the best singer around today, this album is a treat because of Ralph Sharon's incredible piano: age has done nothing but make this guy BETTER. The timing and touch are a pleasure. At a recent concert, I could only sit there and marvel at how this older gentleman simply puts the next generations to shame.
