Donny Pesce's New CD Release IS:

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION with only 70 plus years of experience in all phases of music from student to teacher to music store owner to professional musician over many, many years, the finest collection of music I have ever heard.
It will be totally impossible for a non musician to believe this music with vocals is created by only one person, with an accompanying vocalist on some of the tracks.
Donny, this is truly the finest I have ever heard created by one person.
I now totally understand why nobody wants to post their music on this forum because it would have to be compared to yours. I don't think there is anyone here that can top this CD content.
You should have signed up for America's Got Talent and you would be a millionaire gigging headliner in Las Vegas.
Thank you so much for sharing
You are truly appreciated by all of us, even those that won't admit it
Best to all,
Bebop

Bill, I've heard one cut only from his CD, it was an MP3 file of the tune "Islands in the Stream" sung as a duo with his daughter. Great piece, as I was listening to it my wife asked who is that knowing it was probably a SZ member. When I replied, " Donny with his daughter" she said wow what a wonderful job they did on that tune!! I'm sure the rest of the CD reflects that quality.

WAIT A MINUTE !!! Did I miss something??? ... How did you guys get this ??? ...

Tony...aren't you on the "A" list..

I heard it and it's not that good. Well, his daughter's part is great.
Actually, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton would be jealous if they weren't filthy rich.

Hey Bebop ...

Thanks for this thread. I am also very inpressed with DNJ's CD.. Fantastic !

I WAS on the "A" list, but I've worked my way all the up to the "S" list.....

chas

I just played this cd in the car with it's 6 speakers and just me so I really turned it up and it is just awesome.
I sure hope everybody gets to hear one or all of these songs as they are so well done.
the female vocals on some of the tracks are just beautiful. I understand one of the ladies is Donny's daughter and she has POP's Talent too.
Best to all,
Bebop

you should hear the songs through Yamaha S900 speakers..

Bill,

I just played it through the car stereo as well. Donnie's daughter is an outstanding singer, and Donnie's voice is second to none--always has been.

Great CD,

Gary

Ditto! Great job, and he only charged me $15.00!!
DonM

Ok, I just sent the CD to the local Providence Journal music critic we both listened to it and here's her reply along with my thoughts.

I've had the opportunity to listen Mr. Pesce's music in the past with a CD he called " Swinging with the Big Bands" One thing is for sure Donny is at home singing big band and standards as he is with music from the 50s, 60s as well as Sinatra tunes. His daughter from my understanding is a Hip Hop singer. This critic is of the mindset that singing with the older Pesce is the way for the younger member of the family to go. She adds that extra touch of class, that makes for a well rounded performance.
Great work, no question about it. Donny look forward to next year's release.

I just played it in my car and it's fantastic. Lots of great production, great choice of songs, and real good engineering. Donny, you knocked it out of the park.

Send me one and I'll send you one before the end of the year

Thank you every one for taking a listen, it was a fun demo project for a "home recording" using minimal equipment, Tyros, TC Helicon Hm, Mixcraft 4 vs the Studio. Working with my daughter on a few tunes was also worth the time & effort alone. I tried to use the arranger KB in every way possible. I hope other will interchange their work too because we ALL learn from sharing my friends

Hope to see you all in Shreveport, LA at the Jam, January 18,19,20,21

Kind Regards,

Donny

DNJ: Hey dude, see that you've included my signature song "As Long As I'm Singin" in your latest CD. Outstanding rendition which I must admit tops mine for sure. Did you arrange & record all the backing tracks and horn solos too? If so, awesome! Excellent CD throughout with vocals & the studio mix sound a standout. Donny, You're definitely da bomb! Thanks for sharing.

Scott

Apparently I'm not on the A list either, but I did manage to get hold of the mp3 "Islands in the Stream." I must say, Donny, that that is one excellent home production. Everything sounds so smooth and balanced. If the other cuts are that good, then you have a real winner on your hands. Good luck, and keep up the good work.

Cass

How did you guys get the CD...I didn't get one either...

He knows you TOO well .
t.

Gave it my first listen today, and I have to agree with what has been said already ... great production, great tunes, great vocals !!!!!

I have some questions about the production and its process, but I want to give another listen first ...

Excellent work, Donny and Mandy !!!

t.

T.... email me we'll talk & thanx for listening.

ciao

Donny ...

I handed my CD to my mom, she is really loving it ! She use to sing in the USO..

Dan....WOW! that really makes me feel good. I love the older movies watching the Andrews sisters sing at the USO clubs, Bob Hope, etc, etc, .....without them to lift the spirits of our troops life in the service could get a bit depressing being away from home.I think I'll play Apple Blossom Time tonight on stage with the TC VH unit oh yeah!

Thanks For The Memories

MY HAPPINESS is also big with our crowd, especially done on piano.

HI All Synthzoners,

There are probably a lot of people here that have not yet heard this music.

I have just reviewed the entire CD again and I am once again totally blown away by the quality of this work.

I want to give you all a chance to hear some of the best music I have heard in a long time.

Go to Donny’s website http://www.donnypesce.com/songs.htm

And after reading about him click on songs and listen to some of his work there.

This will no doubt be some of the best work you will ever hear from a man and his keyboard. It is Pro, Pro, Pro all the way and second to none. There is so much energy that comes through this music, it is difficult to stay stil while you listen to it. You just got to dance

Donny has been in this business just about all his life and you can sure tell it. If you are lucky enough to be over in New Jersey, then go see him at the clubs and tell him Bebop sent you.

You can also buy his new CD release directly from him at a very reasonable price. It has 17 tracks on it and a couple of them are shared with his daughter Mandy and her vocals are just as good as his. In my opinion it is worth a lot more then the small amount he is asking for it.

Check it out. You will be glad you did. I just finished playing this Cd through twice and even though I have been a musician for 72 of my 77 years, I have never heard anything I liked more then Donny Pesce One Man Band Music with vocals.


Best to all,
Bebop

Donny,
I would love to have the CD..how can I get it?
I Sure don't mind paying for it either..
Thanks,
Lee S.

Donny - outstanding music all the way! You make it look (and sound) so very easy! Terrific sounds on the vocals, the keys, and the recordings. You have a sound (and a product!) to be very proud of! Keep up the stellar work!
Randy

Donny you play well, you have a great singing voice,
you’re my type of entertainer, with Joe Lee Richards AR & Joe Ayala MD,
a great trio, I wish I could have been there.

When you came back and sat down in “Another Bridge To Burn” that phrase
you did with your left hand, I always have trouble with that, but I noticed you resolved
it at the end of the song.

Randy thank you so much I appreciate it.


Fred... that whole Jam was off the cuff, none of us every played together before...what a great time we had cant wait for the next one January 23-27 2010. If you really want to see the whole jam get in touch with Joe Lee and get the full Jam DVD's he produced its really cool. Here is the link.

I'm not on the "A" list either.

Tom

Tom..
Maybe that is because you are still wearing the fig leaf.
Eddie

I really enjoyed listening to the tunes on your website. Very solid, sir...

I hear lots of Englebert coming through which suits you to a T.

Your dancers are getting some very good entertainment every week...

Keep up the good work...
