Singer, pianist and composer Tony Desare's take on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him a reputation as one of New York's hottest young singer/pianists. His debut performances at the legendary Café Carlyle earned high praise. "With his dark hair, bright brown eyes and toothpaste smile that rarely fades," raved The New York Times, "he exhibits the slicked-up charm of an early '60s pop star with Rat Pack dreams." But what sets Tony apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and at the same time blends seamlessly with the Great American Songbook. 'Radio Show' embraces a variety of eras in American popular music, all tied together by the voices of radio announcers who set the tone for each individual track and the recording as a whole. The album weaves a few original compositions with material from sources as diverse as Harold Arlen, Bob Dylan, New Order, Hoagy Carmichael, Chuck Berry and more. But more than just a collection of period songs with clever intros, 'Radio Show' is a historic reminder of the intimate relationship between the music, the listener and the magic medium that brought them together.
