Release Notes:
Singing jazz pianists haven't always gotten a fair
shake from critics, but Tony DeSare's CD debut for
Telarc demonstrates a potential to win them over
while also appealing to a wider audience. Backed by
a swinging band that includes veteran guitarist
Bucky Pizzarelli, DeSare's warm vocals are
complemented by his piano chops in the brisk
workout of "Just in Time." It is also refreshing to
hear a performer mine overlooked gems like Cy
Coleman's "Baby Dream Your Dream," "We've Got a
World That Swings," and a campy striding
instrumental arrangement of the oldie "Five Foot
Two, Eyes of Blue," in which Pizzarelli and bassist
Mike Lee give the leader a run for his money with
their respective solos. But the best surprise is
the quality of DeSare's originals (most of which
were jointly written with Lee). Jazz vocalists are
always looking for new material despite the dearth
of compelling songs emerging from modern Broadway
musicals and the world of pop. DeSare offers up
warm, swinging ballads like the appealing "Want
You" (which adds John Swana's delicious muted
trumpet) and the heartfelt "How Will I Say I Love
You" (which adds a string section), and while "(I'd
Have It All) If I Had Drew" may be a one-shot
novelty due to its subject matter (as it was
written for the independent film My Date With
Drew), it still swings nicely. The poppish "Marry
Me" is one track that jazz fans can bypass, but on
the whole, there are plenty of reasons for them to
snap up this rewarding CD. (www.allmusic.com)
