TONY BENNETT & DIANA KRALL
On their first album of duets, Love Is Here to Stay, Bennett and Krall—with help from the Bill Charlap Trio share their fondness for some of America’s sharpest songs, composed by a couple of guys named George and Ira. And that’s not all they share, as Lee Mergner
discovered in conversation with both singers, along with Charlap and several other members of Team Bennett.

WAYNE SHORTER
In his teens, he created a comic book called Other Worlds. Now, at 85, he’s brought that youthful passion together with mature musicmaking, and the result is Emanon, a hugely ambitious three-disc blend of jazz quartet and chamber orchestra, with a sci-fi graphic novel about the multiverse on the side. Tom Moon talks to the sax giant and tries to make sense of it all.
