Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett continue their love affair with music and music is paying them back. Tony Bennett, a legend already, broke his own record with  his duet with Lady Gaga, Cheek to Cheek. In 2011 Tony was the oldest artist to debut at Number 1 when Bennett released DUETS II when he was 85. 

At 88, Bennett remains the oldest artist in music industry history to have an album on the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Cheek To Cheek marks Lady Gaga's third straight number one release in just over three years. ; this is the second time in Bennett's career that he has had an album debut at #1 in both Billboard's Pop and Jazz Album charts. 

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's Cheek To Cheek, debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 Album and on the Jazz Album and Traditional Jazz Album Charts. Two tracks that came out before the album, the Cole Porter classic "Anything Goes", and the Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields standard "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", both debuted at  number one on Billboard's Digital Jazz charts. 

Cheek to Cheek was recorded in New York City. The record took over a year to complete. It features jazz musicians associated with both artists including members of Bennett's quartet: Mike Renzi, Gray Sargent, Harold Jones and Marshall Wood as well pianist Tom Ranier. Jazz trumpeter Brian Newman, a long-time friend and colleague of Lady Gaga appears on the album as well with his NYC-based jazz quintet. Jazz soloists on selected tracks include tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, trumpeter George Rabbai and flutist Paul Horn, who passed away in July.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga will give a special performance on Sunday, Feb. 8 at The Wiltern. The special post-Grammy performance celebrates their new collaborative jazz album Cheek To Cheek. The show begins at 9:30 p.m. and will feature both big band and orchestra.
