Shortly after the pandemic began in early 2020, pianist and vocalist Tony DeSare began recording daily video performances. When we spoke by Zoom last spring, he was just shy of 80 videos. As of this week, he has now recorded 200 of these videos. Along with those videos, Tony also took time to speak with us about his latest project with pianist Tedd Firth - a piano and vocal album called “Lush Life.” More at tonydesare.com.
