5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!!!!, January 24, 2007

I've waited a long time for a male crooner that could sing like Buble' and also write classic flavored original songs. I have found that in Tony DeSare. The truth is, Tony does not have a whole lot of competition in the young male crooner department. We've got Buble' on the top of the heap followed by Peter Cincotti, Jamie Cullum and Matt Dusk. Buble' and Cincotti only put out a new studio CD every 2 years and that leaves a big void. The appearance of Tony on the scene fills in the gap. The combination of smooth vocals and wonderfully crafted songs give DeSare the edge and his songs are only getting better. He also handles the great american songbook with style and originality. Top covers are "There Will Never Be Another You" , "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" and "Oh Look At Me Now." Top originals are "Let's Just Stay In", and "I'll Never Have Another You." All of us music lovers out there really need to support this guy. We need more of this type of singer and music on the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars A truly surprising listen., May 8, 2007

As the labels try to get a new handle on the adult market, it's hard to be an up and coming pianist/crooner today.
Trying to break the current mold, DeSare veers from the current pack, also trying to break out, but ditching the classics and moving recent works into more of an MOR bag, whether covering Carole King, King Cole or Prince. Keeping the music out of elevators and dentist's offices,along with his own compositions, ( where he pleasantly showcases his knack for both classic jazz standard-influenced songcraft, as on the poignant "I'll Never Have Enough of You," as well as more contemporary rock-influenced writing ) , DeSare interprets Prince's "Kiss," Carole King's "I Feel The Earth Move" and the little-known Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen "Come On Strong."
DeSare has a personality and puts it to good use, the defining thing that could separate him from the pack and let him make his move. He's got that thing soccer moms at Starbucks could relate to while impatiently waiting on her latte.
He is supported by a stellar backing enseble including bassist and co-writer Mike Lee, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, and tenor saxophonist Harry Allen.
Best tracks : "Kiss", "I'll Never have Enough Of You" and "First Last Kiss".

This is probably the best jazz album I have ever heard. Tony DeSare's sophomore release delivers on all levels. There are some original songs here along with some remakes and they are all phenomenal! The title song doesn't disappoint, it's a beautiful ballad that will surely become a classic. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone. If you're not a jazz fan, after listening to this album, you will definitely become one.
