Everyone should listen to Michael d’Addio, an extraordinary performer who makes a great contribution to the musical arts.

~ Lalo Schifrin, Composer/Conductor, 6-time Grammy winner, 6-time Oscar nominee

Michael’s beautiful soothing voice takes you on a wonderful walk down memory lane!
As a voice teacher of many years, with students at the Met, on Broadway, TV, and films. I am proud of how Michael has retained his beautiful sound and technique over the years!  For a man approaching his 80’s it is quite remarkable!!
These albums are a testament to the singing heart and soul of the man and the joy he brings to us listening to them! Stardust, Nice and Easy, Fever, Let there be Love, April in Paris are only a few of the amazing songs on the albums!! All of them are extremely enjoyable!!

~ Joann C. Zajac

Michael, you have the voice of an angel. I listen to your CD again and again.

~ Judith Light, Actress, Winner of 24 Emmy, Tony and Golden Globe Awards

WOW! Michael, you still ‘have it’ – that rich voice and attachment to the dramatic emotion…really nice!

~ Cathy Segal Garcia, President, Southern California jazz Vocal Coalition

Hi, Michael – They’re wonderful ! I listen to them repeatedly as I sway and glide my way around my living room. Your gift brings me joy.Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful voice. Vibration is a powerful thing – affecting all the other waves in the atmosphere. Your voice wafts over a room and transforms the space. Congrats again on your fabulous voice and what you do with it.

~ Julie Powell

Listening to this 2CD collection of songs from a bygone era, offers an extraordinary opportunity to let one’s imagination, nudged ever so gently by the music and Michael’s voice, to be transported to a time of gentleness and romance. The soothing music and Michael d’Addio’s rich, and velvet smooth baritone voice, wash over one like warm sunshine and a gentle breeze, calming one’s soul.
Utterly delightful! A real treat for the senses.

~ Carolyn Buckley McCullough

Do two years of pandemic stress and escalating global conflicts have you wrung out and yearning for better, more blissful times?

If so, maybe spend an evening  ‘With Michael Afters Hours’, a masterfully-wrought collection of lush standards by Michael d’Addio.

With 25 tunes by Cole Porter, Harry Warren, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Ennio Morricone, Johnny Meercer and even Otis Blackwell,

the CD feels like a diverse ‘best of’ compendium, delivered in a lush, silken style that conjures up the nightspots of yore where courting couples could kick back with a grownup cocktail, serenaded by the likes of Ella, Lena, and Frank. It won’t solve the world’s ills, but this wonderfully wrought album can put them on hold and recharge your batteries. What more can you ask for ?.

~ Louis Spirito

Such a pleasant surprise – the music was a special treat – I loved every minute of it – I think that if more people could listen to and appreciate such talent, it would be a nicer world – music has a way of entering your heart and believing that the world is a better place again. Thank you for making my evening so special.

~ Judy Goldstein

I’ve been wanting to write the email since I first played the CDs you gave me.
Are you kidding? Why aren’t you still singing and making records? We loved your album!
The demo CD only had one track that our car player and my Mac computer would pick up. If there’s something else on it, I’d really be interested in hearing it.
We showed it to Patrick and Nora Minga, our Quito hosts at Hotel Bonanza and they couldn’t believe you weren’t still all over the entertainment airwaves and in the record stores. While we were in Quito before flying back to Houston, I helped Patrick with some guest transportation and those folks from Washington state wanted to know all about you and why they hadn’t heard you before (they are my age or older).
Jeeze, what a disappointment that there’s not more where that came from! I love that kind of music. I loaded it onto my Mac and transferred it to my iPhone and every time I listen to it, I can picture you standing up there on the bandstand in Michael’s in beautiful downtown Cotacachi, crooning to a packed house.
Anyway, thank you for sharing that with us. It is a real treat, over and over.

~ Jeff Battle

I played them for Debbie this morning…she is ready to fall in love with you, but Cotacachi is too far away for an affair!

~ Jack Moss

An email’s acknowledgment of “With Michael After Hours” would be unworthy of this feat of music. To my ears your performance and accompaniment in this collection is flawless.
To each lyric you fully invest all of yourself. I mean by that: all the d’Addio years of living life, all the d’Addio rapture for music, all the d’Addio years of consummate practice can be heard here.
Has anyone been so privileged to hear these classics of America’s Songbook performed with such depth of feeling, clarity of utterance, or mastery of nuance? Not until now.
While listening, did I recognize your voice from 30 years ago? For sure, there were a few occasions back then when I did hear you sing, albeit briefly. When you sang back there on the Upper West Side, be they only few lines & a few bars at a time, I remember being startled by the sudden recognition that you became another person while singing. Yes, I knew you to talk to on a casual basis, but when you sang I realized there was another person with whom I was not so familiar. No matter what other accomplishments you’ve achieved in ‘this lifetime,’ it’s my belief dear Michael that your greatest passion and talent have always been and will remain TO SING. Be good & please let me know about your forthcoming music.

~ John Abrahams, Abrahams Acres, Port Deposit, MD

I was amazed by the time, effort and expense that Michael d’Addio put into recording these classic songs. His voice is as smooth as a 12-year-old bourbon! I have a deep appreciation for the orchestration, arrangements and the quality of these recordings The music brought me back to another time with great (understandable) lyrics, great melodies and great voices. A real labor of love! People like Michael d’Addio will hopefully keep big band music alive for future generations.Close your eyes, sit back and enjoy.

~ Frank Arcuri, Musician from Upstate New York

When you need a lift, timeout from a hectic schedule, or just wish to be transported back in time; find a comfortable chair, close your eyes and listen to “With Michael After Hours”.
It is wonderful to feel rejuvenated as you listen to the classic songs from yesterday. Michaels presentations and musical arrangements are very invigorating.

~ Phyllis Cooper

Michael – the sound is amazing your voice is perfect congratulations.

~ Danny Hidrobo, Arranger, Conductor, Musician, Recording and Mixing Engineer

I would like to give Michael d’Addio’s latest 2 disc album, “With Michael After Hours” a most fantastic review.  It is a real treasure. I continue to enjoy it tremendously.  His interpretation of all these wonderful classic romantic melodies is rich with emotion and flawless in vocal tone. I have especially enjoyed  “Guess I‘ll Hang my Tears Out to Dry” and find it gives me such a vivid image of what these big tears look like. His interpretation of “Stardust” gives me a magical thrill. Michael’s diction is perfect and I can understand every word.  All I can wonder is why we did not have this wonderful album sooner or where has Michael been hiding his immense musical skills?

~ Maria Termini, Artist, Author, Musician

You are better than all…a wonderful sound…Michael d’Addio…a dreamboat…I cannot wait until I get more. I am at a loss for words.

~ Marcia Wolfsen

I love your CD. Please keep singing. I want to write a song for you. You made me cry when you sang “A Quiet Thing.” Come to NYC soon.

~ Fred Ebb, Lyricist for hit musicals Cabaret and Chicago

WOW Michael!

What a Treat for senses & soul & what a hidden gem all this amazing Musical Fiesta is! What a thoughtful choice of Evergreens & soulful rendition of this delightful collection of romantic classics! Your emotive take, lush tones & sultry voice are taking me & I am sure many others, on a musical journey & experience like no other and teleporting us to cherished times & unforgettable people, songs & voices we have been missing, needing & now enjoying through & with you again.

I love your great song choices, your perfect looping playlist & the soulful flow throughout! Your rich velvet voice & mastery of tonality are not only enjoyable, but memorable! One can not but keep listening to them over & over again & not only in After Hours. All 25 songs are unique & special & my personal favorite has become “April in Paris”. Who knew you had so much hidden talent & can sound so romantic in English, naughty in Italian & sensual in French – like a native in all three!  😉

Not only do these modern takes deserve to be featured on the radio waves & TV shows, but I anticipate to see & hear them in sold out concert halls & Award shows soon too! Congratulations! Grazie! Bravo! Encore!

~ Darina Joy, Surpriser & Intl Mgmt Consultant

The songs are wonderful, and Michael’s lovely voice is very easy on the ears.

I just listened to samples on your website. I had no idea you were so talented. Plus, as a hopeless romantic and a ballroom dancer, I love your selection.

Again, congratulations on your album!!

Many thanks and much more inspiration.
