Swingin’ Season’s Greetings
with Tony DeSare
José-Luis Novo, Conductor

Swingin’ Season’s Greetings is a terrific holiday show featuring singer, pianist, and songwriter Tony DeSare with the ASO. This show is a wonderful blend of holiday cheer and swing standards with an energetic flair that only a big band can provide. Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him a reputation as one of country’s hottest young singer/pianists.

Concerts are performed at Maryland Hall, 801 Chase Street, Annapolis, Maryland 21401

DeSare’s retro-contemporary sound has drawn frequent comparisons to the legendary pop-jazz stylist Frank Sinatra. In fact, renowned songwriter and Motown producer Lamont Dozier (The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Isley Brothers), recently placed DeSare in the same pantheon of retro–cool Sinatra successors that includes Harry Connick Jr. and Yamaha Artist Michael Buble. At a recent meeting with DeSare, Dozier predicted, “You’re next!”

Born to a musical family in Glens Falls, NY, DeSare began singing and performing professionally at the age of 17, opening for visiting headliners and building a large regional following. Equally at home in contemporary and standard genres, he went on to study at Ithaca College where he formed the Tony DeSare Trio, securing a first place win in the “IC Showcase,” a college-sponsored national battle of the bands.

“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved pianos, and some of the very first pianos I encountered were Yamahas,” recalls DeSare. Now, his instrument of choice is a Yamaha Disklavier DCFX performance-reproducing piano. “Yamaha offers the ideal blend of the acoustic piano craftsmanship and technology,” says DeSare. “It’s artistically inspirational, since these are two forces in music that don’t often coalesce. Yamaha has found a way to make them play nicely together.” Beyond the instrument’s “responsive action,” DeSare has also been impressed by the resonant CFX tone, “which helps cut through an orchestra.”

Playing over an orchestra has become a higher priority of late, as the artist has added numerous, high-profile symphony appearances to his schedule, in addition to gigs at jazz festivals and posh, legendary nightclubs. But it’s DeSare’s affection for old-school, classic standards and the golden era of the brat pack, that also led him to an ongoing touring relationship on the casino circuit with the legendary comic Don Rickles.

“I’m a fan of that era and Don is unquestionably one of the best,” notes DeSare, marveling at the 85-year-old’s stamina and undiminished ability to keep a large audience in stitches for a full, 80-minute set. “He’s still the greatest.”

For Rickles, the admiration is mutual. “Tony DeSare is, without question, one of the today’s most outstanding artists and performers,” says Rickles. “His superb piano artistry is a bonus!”

DeSare will release his fourth CD later this year, a musical mélange of sophisticated, inventive originals and contemporary classic cover songs. Beyond traditional piano playing, and employing the Disklavier’s record and playback function to record the CD, DeSare is experimenting with non-traditional modes of drawing sound from the instrument via the strumming of strings, the manipulation of hammers and tapping the body of the piano.

“Tony has a refreshing and unique way of blending modern sounds with swinging classics,” says Bonnie Barrett, Yamaha Artist Services Director. “He has an exceptional ability to write fresh, original work that also blends seamlessly with the Great American Songbook. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with him.”

DeSare caught his first break in New York City when he was cast as the star of the long running Off‐Broadway musical smash, Our Sinatra, in 1999. Three years later, he performed at the legendary Apollo Theater where he first met jazz guitar icon, Bucky Pizzarelli, who has since continued to perform with his band, touring the nation and headlining at major performance venues ranging from leading jazz rooms like Birdland and the Blue Note to posh nightclubs like the Café Carlyle and Feinstein’s at the Regency, as well as several appearances at Carnegie Hall and major concert halls like Jazz at New York’s Lincoln Center. On tap for the fall is an engagement at the new nightclub located at the site of New York’s’ legendary Studio 54 dance club, 54 Below.

DeSare’s versatility and creativity in songwriting have also earned him distinguished recognition for his original compositions. “Let’s Just Stay In,” was featured in the 20th Century Fox film The Tooth Fairy, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ashley Judd, Billy Crystal and Julie Andrews. Tony also composed and performed the title theme to My Date With Drew, an independent documentary feature film starring Drew Barrymore. The song has been featured on “The Tonight Show” and “The Today Show,” among many other media outlets.

Smooth and delicious…an apt description of chocolate, champagne, AND Tony DeSare! Singer, pianist, and songwriter, DeSare has a sound that is romantic, swinging, and senual whether he’s performing classic standards or original material. After starring in “Our Sinatra” off-Broadway, DeSare has been called a Sinatra acolyte and belongs to a group of neo-traditional upstarts stretching from Harry Connick, Jr. to Michael Buble.

DeSare, whose third CD “Radio Show” was released by Telarc Records earlier this year, was named a “Rising Star” Male Vocalist in the 2009 Downbeat Critics Poll. He has won critical acclaim for his concert performances in the U.S., Australia, Japan and Hong Kong. “Let’s Stay In,” one of the CDs original songs, is featured in the 20th Century Fox film “The Tooth Fairy” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johns, Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews.

Tom Alvarez, Indianapolis Performing Arts Examiner
A female fan was overheard remarking that Tony DeSare was “dreamy” as she exited his show Friday at the Cabaret at the Columbia Club. Her reaction summed up the effect the good-looking singer with a brilliant smile had on an audience beguiled by his music and charm.

DeSare, who is also a pianist and songwriter, performed a set consisting of standards and original material, some of which will be on his forthcoming fourth CD.

Referred to as a “baby Sinatra” in a New York Times review, DeSare also is often compared to crooners Connick and Buble. What sets him apart from the others, however, is his distinctive voice, phrasing, musicality and storytelling ability.

Nowhere is DeSare’s talent for communicating the meaning of a song more evident than during ballads, when he slows the tempo and really takes his time to languorously sing lyrics.

Cole Porter’s “Just One of Those Things;” a melancholic, yearning-filled rendition of “My Funny Valentine;” “Prelude,” from DeSare’s “Radio Show” CD and “Baby Dream Your Dream,” from the musical “Sweet Charity,” were some of the songs performed during the first part of DeSare’s act.

DeSare also sang “Chemistry.” One of his original songs, it illustrated his ability to write a song that captures the lighthearted flavor and sound of those prevalent in the American Songbook.

Demonstrating his ability to interpret a song in ways that are completely unexpected, DeSare opened the second act with an up-tempo instrumentation of “Autumn Leaves.” Fingers flying across the keys, DeSare showed his virtuosity as a pianist.

“Phone at Home Blues,” which he introduced as an “existential crisis causing 2lst-century anxiety,” was another of DeSare’s original ditties included in his program. It was an amusing tune to those present who could identify with the frustration felt when one’s cell phone is left at home.

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Pops Conductor Jack Everly and his collaborator, producer Ty Johnson, who were present in the audience, were introduced by DeSare. Previously he performed with the ISO in two Pops concert and in a Symphony on the Prairie Concert – “Sci-Fi Spectacular,” in 2010. Paying tribute to fellow “Trekkie” Johnson, DeSare sang “Would You Like to Trek to a Star?”

DeSare, who looked like the quintessential piano man, dressed in tie, vest and shirt with cuffs rolled up, also performed “Moon River,” “That’s Life” and a wistful “Two for the Road,” prior to closing his set with Ray Charles’ “Hallelujah I Love Her So.”

When Cabaret managing and artistic director Shannon Forsell introduced DeSare prior to the second act, she quoted a critic. Essentially, that individual thinks DeSare is not only more talented than Connick and Buble but could be just as well known, were he marketed as aggressively as they. Without a doubt – this writer concurs.
