These are the four songs that Bennett and Brubeck played together at the end Lullaby Of Broadway, Chicago, That Old Black Magic, and There Will Never Be Another You. Both Tony Bennett and Dave Brubeck were asked by the JFK White House to perform at the "White House Seminar American Jazz Concert", for college students who'd been working as interns in the nation's capital, on Tuesday, August 28, 1962. Originally planned for the White House Rose Garden, the enormity of the crowd necessitated the concert being moved to the nearby Sylvan Theater by the Washington Monument. The entire recording was considered lost until unearthed in late 2012 (That Old Black Magic from this set has been previously released). Both had their individual sets, but then combined for an impromptu four final songs together that I've uploaded here. This is the first time they'd played together, and wouldn't do so again until 2009. Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums from Brubeck's quartet led support (unfortunately, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond lays out for this set). A fun, rollicking, albeit short set. William B. Williams of WNEW fame is the announcer at the end. Enjoy!
