New Tricks was Bing Crosby's eighth long-playing album and sixth LP for Decca Records, originally released in 1957.
New Tricks featured twelve standards recorded between August 1955 and August 1956 for Crosby's weekly CBS radio show with a trio led by Crosby's regular pianist Buddy Cole. They were mastered for LP release in May 1957.
The jazz historian Will Friedwald describes New Tricks as "swingingly successful," adding that "its cover - a very Bingish basset bearing a Crosby-style pipe, hat, and even eyes - had won listeners over even before they dug into the disc."
Crosby's earlier Decca LP Some Fine Old Chestnuts (1954) similarly features songs recorded for radio accompanied by Cole.
