Bill Charlap

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2015

5 STARS DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE (January 2016)

"Pianist Bill Charlap and vocal legend Tony Bennett unite for a moving tribute to an icon of the Great American Songbook. Charlap's fabolous playing and Bennett's profund voice are supported by three exceptional musicians: pianist Renee Rosnes, bassit Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington. The resulting album is sublime" - Downbeat Magazine

" The Silver Lining features little more than just the singer and the pianist -- when they're augmented by other musicians, it's just bass and drums, offering a bit of rhythm and color -- and this sparseness never seems austere due to the inherent warmth of the musicians' easy interplay, not to mention their individual voices. Both aspects are subtly showcased on The Silver Lining, and it's that delicate dance, where Bennett and Charlap enjoy playing together and apart, that makes this so charming." All Music Guide

"The album is jointly credited to the jazz pianist Bill Charlap, and its voice-and-piano intimacy recalls “The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album” of 40 years ago." The New York Time
