Lounge music from Anton Commissaris

Anton Commissaris is a San Francisco-based jazz composer, pianist, and vocalist who has recently turned his focus to music after a long and successful career in the city’s Silicon Valley tech scene. Making his studio music debut in 2021 with the EP titled On a Bright Note, he’s charmed listeners around the world with his exquisite songwriting skill and smooth vocal delivery.

Known for his passion for jazz, Anton has previously cited the greats, such as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, and Antonio Carlos Jobim as his inspiration. However, his latest release, the brand new single “Mission of Love” also draws influence from Fats Waller and Jelly Roll Morton.

The new single tells the story of a man trying to win over a lady’s heart by saving her from danger. The song features a delicate piano introduction and an engaging horn arrangement that takes the listener on a journey through the ups and downs of love. Anton’s Sinatra-style jazz vocals are top-notch, delivering a nostalgic sound that will take the listener back to a bygone era.

The song’s theme of love is nothing new, but Anton’s execution and his music’s genre-bending capabilities set “Mission of Love” apart. The track’s blend of jazz, soul, and R&B, offers a fresh take on classic jazz to deliver a smooth, lounge style jam.

With the horn arrangement being one of the standout features of the track, the use of the trombone, tenor sax, and trumpet offers a creative and effective way of building momentum towards the end of the single. The piano and drums also hold their own throughout the song, providing a solid backbone that allows the horns and vocals to shine.

Overall, “Mission of Love” is an excellent release from Anton Commissaris, and it’s a testament to his talents as a jazz musician. With its catchy writing and engaging arrangement, “Mission of Love” is a must-listen for any jazz fans as well as those who loves easy listening music.
