notes

Michael Civisca is a performer who sings the music of the Great American Songbook. His voice carries the warmth and style of a modern-day crooner.

Michael is dedicated to the production of recordings and performances that spotlight the music of the great composers including Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, George and Ira Gershwin, and Irving Berlin.

Civisca possesses a full-ranged baritone voice which he uses with finesse and discretion to fit the mood, tone and tempo of the song he's singing, Civisca is easily at home working with small trio groups, brassy big bands, or lush orchestras.

Michael's debuted March 17, 1997 with his first CD, A Collection of Great American Standards. The CD was picked up on national radio by May of that year. MJJ Music and Sony stepped up to the task of redistributing Michael's music to a national market.

    author: Carrie Kostuk

    i was wowed by the CD. Absolutely tremendous.

  • voice like velvet
    author: Jim Hewitt

    Michael Civisca's voice is like velvet to the ears. He croons like the best standard singers and jazz singers of all time. Buffalo, New York is lucky to call him theirs, but we will gladly share him with the world. Take a listen and you'll be hooked.

  • Clearly the best cd on the market in years
    author: Marilyn Black

    Michael has the sort of voice that stops you in your tracks when you first hear him; it did me! And Blue Skies is a perfect example of that. He proves that the great singers haven't totally disappeared. Discover the magic of Michael every time you listen to Blue Skies.

  • Love this music!
    author: Leann

    This CD is great. Love it in the car, while working, or just to unwind. This guy is under-rated for sure. I think a cross between Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr. :)

  • Another excellent CD. Loved it!!!
    author: Deloris Hinrichsen

    The songs on this CD are the standards that appeal to me & the arrangements are awesome.

  • A superb singer & excellent selections of songs.

  • Civisca is great. I have all his CDs. Blues Skies is great...
    author: P. Murphy

    I prefer the big band, but the trio is fine. Civisca is smooth and polished in every cut of Blue Skies. Yet another must buy!!

  • Superb & Awesome!!!!!!!! Michael sings jazz & ballads so well!!!!!!
    author: Deloris Hinrichsen

    I must include Michael in this review & I put him right up there with Sinatra. I love the standards & it seems some younger singers are recording them. I am thrilled!!!!!

  • "Blue Skies" is the best of M. Civisca so far. Love it!!!!!!

    This CD of Michael Civisca is wonderful. The standards are getting popular again by the younger artists.This is a thrill for me. It takes me back to my youthful years.

  • Great voice but missed the big band accompanyment
    author: Bert Bamforth

    I love the voice, his style and the song selection but I really miss the big band accompanyment I heard on the album he did in 2001. I just received Blue Skies.

  • Another Homerun from Michael
    author: Anthony Grisanti

    His vocal skills grow with each recording...He is the standard bearer for the next generation of crooners. Michael's ability to infuse the songs with his personality is great, he feels what he sings and it comes through in the songs. I have seen him perform in intimate settings as well as larger ones while at home in Buffalo...always a fantastic performance and this CD does not disappoint...it's marvelous. A must have...so go out and get it!!!!

  • A Fantastic must have for lovers of great Jazz Standards
    author: Kathy Otto-Yensan

    Micael Civisca is a phenominal vocalist who can croon with the best of them. He is destin to become a household name just like Harry Connick and Sinatra. This CD showcases his crisp edgy vocal talents and broad range. From his soooth effortlees version of HoneySuckle Rose to his uptempo slick stylings of "Here ill stay" and "sit right down and write myself a letter.". If you like the "New" crooners like Michael Bubele & Peter Cincotti ....do yourself a favor and get this Disc! Civisca WILL NOT DISSAPOINT YOU!~ :)

  • Michael Civisca is a class act!
    author: Fran McNamara

    This CD provides Michael's incredible voice in a very intimate setting, with a broad selection of standards with one notable exception - a Nat Cole album track called "It's a Beautiful Evening" which Michael makes his own. Another standout is "It Could Happen to You" with Michael even outshining the better known Tony Bennett recording. This is a must-have for Civisca fans, an A+ intro if you know nothing about his boundless talent, and an assurance that artists in the 21st Century can still bring electricity to the oft-repeated standards. This eclipses the Rod Stewart songbooks and then some. Thank you, Michael!!!!!

  • Great CD
    author: Bernie Bischel

    I bought this for a friend. He absolutely loved the CD.

  • A new voice discovered.
    author: Sam Zinnerman - London

    The CD starts with a very nice piano intro and when the vocal hits, it is first relaxing. Then as I listened to more tracks, I find this singer is a real talent! His voice is warm, and full. No effort... I am very impressed with this guy. Where the hell has he been?

  • Simply nice album
    author: Poko in Tokyo

    Michael's collection of great standards is enjoyable this time too. I love his voice as much as Frank Sinatra.

  • a great CD. Civisca is a first rate singer!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Burt Shapiro

    a great cd, civisca is a first rate singer, whose love for these songs is evident in his interperations.
