Jazz legend Tony Bennett recently confirmed that he would be teaming up with Lady Gaga for a jazz album, and has now said he 'can't wait' to get started.

The pair are planning to hit the studio together later this year to work on a collaborative album, after previously joining up for a duet of 'The Lady Is A Tramp' on Tony's 2011 album Duets II.

Tony has now revealed that he's definitely looking forward to the project. In an interview with The AP, he said, "We're doing a big swing album and I'm looking forward to it. She's a wonderful person and a great talent."

He continued, "We have it all worked out already on paper and we'll just talking about it and we can't wait to do it. She's quite different."

Gaga confirmed the album earlier this year on her Twitter account. The star posted a photo of herself with the jazz legend and captioned it, "And here's me and my handsome date, I simply cannot wait for our album together, he's my darling."
