Tony Bennett hosted a charity event at the Cipriani on Wall Street today where I was editing for Larry Busacca and posting the images to Wireimage. It was generally a good event, by which I mean I got an actual office to work in and the internet was working. John Mayer, Terrence Howard, Jerry Seinfeld and Tony Bennett performed during the dinner. I was pretty impressed by John Mayer as I had no idea he could actually play the guitar, and he seemed like a clued in person. However when he plays, he does have a bottom lip version of the ‘Eric Clapton leg’ though. Tony Bennett busted out a few numbers, and even turned all the microphones off at one point and just sang. It’s quite something to see someone manage to pull that off (even if the classless woman next to me didn’t stop yacking on her cell phone).
The only real disappointment of the night was the food. I guess I’d heard that Cipriani’s had a great reputation, but when it came down to it, the food was’t amazing. I had a plain tomato and mozzarella salad and then veal with roast potatoes. Now don’t get me wrong, free food is always the best kind of food, but to be critical, it didn’t blow me away.
