- Coming back continuously to concert footage of Tony Bennett's 2005 set at the Monterrey Jazz Festival, the film presents a biography, an assessment of the singer, and an appreciation of interpreters of the American song book: Bennett (1926- ), Sinatra, Durante, and others. Each song is the backdrop for a chapter of Bennett's life: growing up poor, being a soldier in World War II, joining the civil rights movement, reinvigorating his career with the help of his son Donny, practicing the art of bel canto, painting plein air landscapes, and promoting education. Clips of earlier performances of the same songs punctuate his consistency and timelessness.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
