According to Billboard, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga are set to collaborate on a jazz album titled "Big Swinging." The duo previously partnered on "The Lady is a Tramp" for Bennett's album "Duets II."

"A lot of people don't know it, but she's a phenomenal jazz singer," Bennett said of Gaga to Rolling Stone.

The album will draw on an as-of-yet unannounced composer. Bennett is keeping the name a secret but says the composer is "very underrated, very famous, but not as famous as Gershwin or Porter."

Bennett's next album "Viva Duets" will be out October 23rd, and Gaga's "ARTPOP" is set for release in 2013.
