Speaking after he received a lifetime achievement award on Thursday in New York from the Amy Winehouse Foundation, the veteran jazz singer said he and Lady Gaga had yet to go into the studio, but had agreed to collaborate on “a big swing album.â€
“We have it all worked out on paper,†he told The Associated Press. Mr. Bennett, 86, and Lady Gaga, 26, recorded a duet of “The Lady Is a Tramp†for Mr. Bennett’s acclaimed “Duets II†album from 2011, which won a Grammy. That album served as a template for Mr. Bennett’s release “Viva Duets†last October, on which he collaborated with Latin American singers.
