Gaga to record album with Bennett

Lady Gaga is set to make a record with Tony Bennett

Lady Gaga is planning to record an album with veteran crooner Tony Bennett.

The Born This Way star previously performed a duet with the 86-year-old for one of his albums and he has revealed that they have plans to work together again, this time on a jazz album.

Tony told Rolling Stone: "Of all things, she called me from New Zealand and said, 'I want to do a jazz album with you.' And I said, 'You got it!' So that's one of the things we're gonna do."

The star, who said he refers to 26-year-old Gaga as "the musical Picasso", continued: "We're gonna do a jazz album with Marion Evans, a big swing band, and I'm looking forward to it because a lot of people don't know it, but she's a phenomenal jazz singer.

"I can't mention the composer because I don't want anybody to do it before we do it, but there's a great composer that's very underrated, very famous, but not as famous as Gershwin or Porter. But he did as many hit songs as anybody, and so we're gonna do a big swinging album."

This isn't a good time to make travel plans. Weather conditions and work responsibilities have a way of wreaking havoc with your schedule. Wait another few days before putting down a hefty deposit. Working behind the scenes will yield significant rewards. If someone asks you to serve as their assistant, go ahead and accept. The pay will be excellent and there will be a lot of fringe benefits, too. Don't talk about a neighbour's private life in mixed company.More
