Exclusive Interview: Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga on Jazz
"This is the most important album of my career," says pop star Lady Gaga about Cheek to Cheek. In this interview with footage from recording sessions, Lady Gaga says that she actually sang jazz before she sang pop. Jazz legend Tony Bennett says, "For jazz artists, there's no school you can go to. It's a gift. It's an improvised art. It's about individualism, and how they feel about life."
