Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Anton Commissaris is a singer, pianist and composer who has recently dedicated his life to the world of jazz. With a passion for the genre, Anton’s music draws inspiration from legendary artists such as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen and Antonio Carlos Jobim.
However, it was the iconic partnership of Lennon and McCartney that first ignited his passion for composing his own melodies and original material. Before diving into his musical journey, Anton had a successful career in Silicon Valley’s tech scene. The shift from technology to music marked a profound transformation, allowing him to channel his creativity into crafting soulful jazz compositions.
He made his musical debut in 2021 with the EP On A Bright Note, which he followed up later that year with the single “Lonely Bay” and his sophomore EP Out of the Blue. Since then, Anton has consistently shared his charming sonic gift with the world, releasing multiple well-received singles and EPs over the last couple of years. His music has connected with a global audience, racking up hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify alone.
Now bringing us one of his most recent releases, he shares his second single of 2024 with the new track titled “Don’t Come Around Here.” This track is a minor blues jazz tune that thematically revolves around the struggles of a man ensnared in a toxic and addictive relationship with a femme fatale.
The song paints a vivid picture of his struggle to move on, capturing the raw emotion and pain of his predicament. Setting a mellow lounge jazz scene with the gentle taps of drums, the soft tones of sax is met with plinks of piano and bright brass before Anton’s rich voice enters to spin heartfelt lyricism above.
Above the steady rhythm of the drums and warm tones of piano, the arrangement is accented by the saxophone and brass to craft a laid back bluesy jazz number that’s at once timeless and memorable. Led by Anton’s crooning voice and lifted by lead flourishes from the instrumentation, his enduring songwriting is brought to life in spectacular fashion via dazzling musicianship, resulting in another beautiful jam from this talented artist.
