I’m here because of Covid-19. Today’s Boston Globe had a column about songs to help bring on the cathartic cry we all need. Staff writers mentioned their go-to songs and one mentioned this one: Bennett and Evans and Some Other Time. So I looked here. I listened. They were right.
I am a huge Tony Bennett fan & I can't believe how I missed this one. So full of emotion. It's perfect. How fortunate are we to have had these two amazing artists in our world. 🎶
Bill Evans was my sister's favorite pianist, and this was one of her favorite versions of this song (originally from the stage musical On The Town by Leonard Bernstein). She herself was a pianist, and when she was killed by a drunk driver, her husband had this played at her service. Fitting. And sad. And I miss her so much.
Tony and Bill do a spectacular version of this Leonard Bernstein classic song from their 1975 album. The song was written for the Broadway musical "On the Town," first produced on Broadway in 1944 and subsequently made into a film in 1949. This gentle ballad is perfectly suited to this stripped-down performance -- just a great pianist and a great singer making great music.

In the mid-70's Tony Bennett recorded two 'alone together' albums with jazz piano giant Bill Evans, who would die young -- age 50 in 1980. Tony of course just celebrated birthday Number 95 exactly one month ago (8/3/2021). Their most poignant (and prescient) ballad is playing right this minute on Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio: “(We'll Catch Up) SOME OTHER TIME." Solo piano and the human voice were never better together, you may agree. The gorgeous melody by maestro Leonard Bernstein with Betty Comden and Adolph Green's perfect lyric, especially words like these: Just when the fun is starting, comes the time for parting But let's just be glad for what we had - and what's to come There's so much more embracing, still to be done But time is racing …. oh well, We'll catch up, some other time. First version offered at UA-cam this night - with “comments” still left on - yes! Thanks, Bill Evans. Celebrated elsewhere this night [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
A brilliant interpretation. Tony is in the mould of singers like Frank Sinatra. He is still performing today. Most of his contemporaries are no longer with us.
Tony bennett is very amazing,i mean i listen to sinatra,dean martin ,sammy,etc but it's something about how his voice is he is so wonderful and i mite add one of the greats with no doubt and when i listen to his musicb is mostly when im in a kind of mood and want to escape stuff i sit down down probably with a nice glass of wine .i love jazz music of all kinds and it's a very good type of music ,tony,b is great well folks another time✌
Wow, could Bill ever play that piano. Masterful, magical, mystical.

Yes
Indeed they were
First heard this only a few years ago. Immediately decided I’ll keep it as a tribute to Tony when that moment comes.
R.I.P., Mr. Bennett.
❤
He was simply the BEST. We were so fortunate to have had him for so long making his magical music. 🎶
If this isn't musical poetry of the highest level, I don't know what the hell is!
I agree entirely. Simple exquisite.

One of the great collaborations of all time.
I love this song, and every singer's version of it. Tony Bennett's is perfect.
I love how the song opens with the same chords used in "Peace Piece" and "Flamenco Sketches."
his greatest work imo
Haunting and poignant. Masterfully performed.

It's such a sad song. Deep sympathy
the song is an ode to my Father who passed away on Christmas morning and i listen to it, not to be sad but rather to remember his courage....
Sorry for your loss.
AMEN.
What a brilliant pair.....a brilliant pianist and brilliant singer....THE BEST OF THE BEST!!
I want this played at my Life Celebration.
Love this version. Puts me in a wistful mood.... And some other time never comes....
Just a couple of great master artists working together. It's the perfect song for just now. But, my god, they do it so perfectly.
One of the great piano/vocal combinations. Bill was a great accompanist. Brilliant work.
Anyone else pick up on the heavy influence of Chopin's "Berceuse" in the accompaniment? Evans...man... he knew what he was doing....
Both geniuses at the peak of their abilities.
RIP Tony - now you and Bill are together again
Rest In Peace, Tony Bennett
Good God. Here comes the waterfalls.
A truly masterful - and memorable - collaboration on this track by Bennett and Evans. Thank you for posting.
Rip Tony Bennett
Mr. Bennett thank you for your music...Rip
This song is so Sondheim to me. And as such it always makes me tear up…..RIP Tony ❤️
Beautiful......
One of my favourites, beautiful piano improvisation blending in and out with Tony's amazing singing.

And written by Sammy Cahn, the man behind the curtains of so many big name singers.
I like Bill Evans's version of the song without singing. It still has an impact.
The song, along with Lonely Town, was cut from the film. A very odd decision.

This slays me every time.
maravilloso tony bennett y el pianista bill evans, tengo un c.d. de ellos dos desde hace muchos añor. gracias por poner tan bella musica
The ultimate crooner and pianist.
just a little bit of perfection...
Just beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes.
Gorgeous
intro reminds me of peace piece
Doesn't get much better than this!
Jane Monheit's version along with this Evans /Bennett collab. are my personal favorites.
Ascoltato centinaia di volte...
Maravillosa versión.!!!

It's Peace Piece.
Missing my husband---David--we'll meet up some other time....
Thank you papa.
Perfect
Since Mr Bennett is not humming this song, it might be appropriate to acknowledge the lyricists, Betty Comden & Adolph Green.
Niinpä!

So so very beautiful! I wish Laura Nyro had sung this. Oh, well😢
😃🌼
❤️
Six Feet Under brought me here.
is there anybody that does this better? please let me know.
no
No. But Monica Zetterlund with Bill Evans is worth comparing.
@@ca0420rl Exactly! And sorry for this, but I do prefer the Mónica Z. version...
Recognize a little "Blue in Green"?

Sigh.
Could anything be more beautiful than these two gods together?
