- What you're seeing is a collaborative singing video comprised of 4 guys from three different countries to form a virtual quartet (from left to right):
Alto - Danny Fong - Canada ( / daniscool99 )
Soprano - Jean-Baptiste Craipeau - France ( / jbcraipeau )
Bass - Evan Sanders - United States ( / strad43 )
Tenor - Andrew Kesler - Canada ( / andrewkesler )
The song is "Almost Like Being In Love", a jazz standard by Frederick Loewe and Alan Lerner. This vocal arrangement is done by the renowned vocal jazz group "New York Voices". You can hear them singing it by clicking this link: • Almost like being in l...
The transcription of this song was done by Evan and Jean-Baptiste.
We recorded the audio part by part, finishing with me. I then edited and mixed the song in Logic Pro. NO PITCH CORRECTION USED! We all then filmed our parts separately in front of home-made green screens, and then I edited the video in Final Cut Pro.
HUGE thank you to my older brother Joel (www.joelkesler.com) who filmed me and helped me with the video editing!

Don't forget to rate, comment, subscribe and share this video! It would really mean a lot to us!
I just happened upon this group.......and they're fabulous.
I'm glad there are still people like you making and enjoying real music.
Evan's voice is perfect for the mock-string bass. Amazing.
I never would've thought I could go from watching a video of a guy with too many v-neck t-shirts to finding one of the nicest performances I've ever seen. Great job, everyone!
Wonderful close harmony. Highly trained and rehearsed. Perfect .
pure talent and will power.
perfect. love it.
this is much better than the one man quartets, because it's 4 different people actually collaborating and blending... i love it all, but this work is the best
I remember when you did it (twelve years ago now 2008?). I think JB did the NYV transcription which I downloaded and wanted our quartet to do. Only got to rehearse it once or twice when life interrupted and I never got back to it. What a long way from here to Accent! Great to see it pop-up once again, thanks Andrew. /RayK
Au ciel des stars, une étoile brille de tout son talent ! Et voici que nous la contemplons,

WOW!!!!! Talk about a professional job! You guys would win Sing Off hands down!
What amazing opportunities this technology is giving us!
Wow guys. I'm so overwhelmed by how talented you are.
Me being a jazz fan of the "cool school" since 1955 I thought that I had seen & heard it all, but I've got to say all of you guys are nothing less than mindblowing ! Most enjoyable, and look at all of the jazz standards out there for you to work on ! Thanks for posting !
FABULOUS, GUYS!!!!

You guys are great! Your version is unique and high-quality.
I am going to be performing this beautiful song in piano and organ at the restaurant in Venice, Florida, where I am the house musician.
Sometimes recommendations turn out to be golden....like this collab!

THIS is what the web is for!!! Absolutely brilliant guys - both in conception and execution. Great

It almost like being in the same room! Great work!

Sweet!
Wow !
As a 59 year old jazz singer and video producer, let me just say this... you blow my mind, Andrew and leave me SPEECHLESS. I mean, even the lighting, the positioning of the chairs, lip synching, video resolution... getting everyone to cooperate! As if mixing the damned tracks wasn't enough of a challenge. OMG!!! How the hell do you do it? LOL
Amazing!! Great Voices!
Super!
@daniscool99
It was that same presence that gave me the divine inspiration needed to realize the fact you guys were edited together.

Very Cool...love the blend of the voices. Amazing --love the collaborative nature of the creation and execution...Well done!
@aliveroomnoautotune SOOOOO TRUE!
This was delicious! Your blend is impeccable for the different countries you represent. (You're cleaner than the New York Voices) - but their blend is what makes that group. Great job you guys! Loved it.
Incrível, muito lindo, vocês são ótimos.
Wow.. amazing as always. :) Love the editing too. Liked for sure.
nice work. i'd like to hear the NYV do this in studio also. ~
I love this!
Great video editing and wonderful performance !
Wow Andrew.. this looks sooooo good :)
Great stuff as always JB.
And thanks for the free MP3!
This is so fantastic. The editing is so good that it almost looks like you were in the same room as each other. The key giveaway was the halo that was appearing around Danny drew attention to others. That said, damn fine editing, damn fine.
I am so glad you guys are all collaborating, I have been subbed to all of you for a long time and damn, I was hoping for something like this to happen. Dreams can come true!
PS thanks for the MP3 gratis. :) I am gunna listen to it over and over.. and over :D.
Thanks so much for this new year's wonderful gift. Be sure that a LOT of people on UA-cam definitely appreciate your efforts. You guys are really gifted musicians and I just love your international collab' Keep on barbershopping! David :)
that's nice!
This was incredible,and loved the way you guys finished it off. Nice!
