The Piano Guys recently liked a video from Tony DeSare. After listening to a couple of his arrangements I think I can recommend him for your listening and watching pleasure.
The first song I listened to was this interesting mashup of Pharell’s “Happy” and Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. It’s mostly Pharell’s song done in McFerrin’s style, but it’s oddly catchy.
I first heard this song done by Harry Connick, Jr. DeSare puts his own touch on it, and I must say I like it.
And this one, “I Love a Piano”, played on various street-art pianos around New York, is fun on many levels:
Fun video. It almost makes me wish I lived in New York. I should probably find out more about the “Sing For Hope”, who I believe sponsored the pianos.
DeSare’s got a bit of a Harry vibe, but he’s not just an imitator. I’ll be paying more attention to this guy.
Bonus: 17 Versions of Jingle Bells:
His Randy Newman, Michael McDonald, and Neil Diamond versions were pretty darn good!
