This past Tuesday Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett released their new collaborative album, “Cheek to Cheek.”

I have listened to nothing else since then.

Ever since Gaga’s first Thanksgiving special a couple of years ago, when I first heard how amazing she could sound just sitting down at the piano and crooning, I have told everyone I know that she absolutely needed to put out a jazz album.

Seriously, ask them. I’m sure they’re all sick of hearing me gush about it.

And this album, which I have mentioned more or less once a day since its release was announced.

This is Gaga at her very best yet. There is no auto-tune here, just the Lady and the lyrics of the Great American Songbook.

And the ever charming, lovely Tony Bennett, who sounds as wonderful as he always has.

The two first collaborated on “The Lady is a Tramp,” and it is by far my favorite version of that song.

Now they’re together again and sounding better than ever. There are several fun numbers, like “Anything Goes” and “Cheek to Cheek,” and rather moving stripped down versions of “Sophisticated Lady” and “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.”

This is music at its very best and most uncomplicated: a celebration of the beauty of the human voice.

Big band and jazz lovers will adore this, but its appeal comes mainly from this unlikely, wonderful friendship between Lady and Tony. Anyone with the ability to distinguish a good tune will enjoy this album for a long time to come.
