Take Bennett's latest video with new school icon Josh Groban. Filmed for the series 'Great Performances,' the duo join voices to perform their recent duet, 'This Is All I Ask,' off Bennett's 'Duets II' album. The stripped down set and unedited vocals epitomizes Bennett's recent series of artist collaborations with the likes of Lady Gaga, Michael Bublé and Carrie Underwood ... just to name a few.
"Josh Groban is a very smart and and extremely nice person," Tony Bennett tells AOL Music. "He was very comfortable recording live in the studio, which is how I work, but he told me he normally has a big orchestra involved so it was a new experience for him to work with a jazz quartet for our duet of 'This Is All I Ask.' I think he did a beautiful job finding the right balance working with a quartet. It's a song that I introduced in 1963 and I thoroughly enjoyed recording it again with Josh Groban almost 50 years later."
Watch Tony and Josh's performance below and for more of Tony's "great performances" check out his 'Duets II: The Great Performances' DVD when it hit stores on March 6.
