Love Is Here to Stay is a collaborative album by Tony Bennett and Diana Krall, released on September 14, 2018, via Verve Records/Columbia Records.[6] The album features the New York-based jazz group the Bill Charlap Trio.[7][8] The album was released both as a CD containing tracks 13 & 14 exclusive to this version and an exclusive red-colored vinyl LP.

Background

All songs in the album were written by George Gershwin. Bennett first recorded "Fascinating Rhythm" in 1949.[7] By recording the song again for Love Is Here to Stay, he received the Guinness World Records title for "longest time between the release of an original recording and a re-recording of the same single by the same artist."

Reception

Chris Pearson of The Times gave the album four stars out of five, commenting "Tony Bennett’s admirers are by now resigned to him making duet albums, even if he works best solo. This example is more palatable than most since it pairs him with Diana Krall, among the few younger singers to share his deep appreciation of the Great American Songbook. Moreover they are backed by the trio of the pianist Bill Charlap..."[5] John Paul of Spectrum Culture mentioned "There is nothing on Love Is Here to Stay that will rewrite the legacy of either artist—they’ve both been better before and Bennett’s range isn’t quite what it once was (but whose is after some 70 years in the business?) But it’s nonetheless an enjoyable pairing of two of the classiest jazz vocalists still working and, more importantly, still clearly enjoying themselves in the process. We should all hope to be so active should we find ourselves becoming nonagenarians".[3]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated " In the Bill Charlap Trio, the pair have empathetic support, keeping the proceedings both light and lush, helping to turn this album into a charming testament to endurance -- endurance of the Gershwin catalog, the collaboration between Krall and Bennett, and, especially, how Tony Bennett can still sound completely committed to songs he's spent decades singing".[1] Bobby Reed of DownBeat wrote "Bennett and Krall offer 10 delightful duets—including “I Got Rhythm,” “Do It Again” and “Nice Work If You Can Get It”—and each vocalist delivers one solo rendition; his is “Who Cares?” and hers is “But Not For Me.” Just as salt and pepper can work together in a recipe, Bennett’s authoritative vocals and Krall’s more delicate delivery complement each other, and several tunes conclude with a delicious bit of unison singing".[9]
