Product Description
From Amazon.com
Though his looks are smart enough for frontman in a mass-marketed boy band, teenaged Peter Cincotti's musical soul seems wizened decades beyond his years. The 19-year-old Columbia University sophomore's debut does more than bristle with promise: it delivers both sprightly performances and some unexpectedly sharp songwriting. The album's lean quartet format (bassist David Finck, drummer Kenny Washington, and Scott Kreitzer on tenor sax) is akin to working without a net, but the singer-pianist ambles through this well-chosen slate of songs with confidence to burn. The trio of originals (with lyrics by the musician's mother) range from the smartly swinging "I Changed the Rules" and "Are You the One?" to the weary romance of the ballad "Lovers, Secrets, Lies." But most of the Phil Ramone-produced album's surprises come in its cover choices. Cincotti effortlessly recasts rock-era fare like "Spinning Wheel"(which gets a Monk-influenced instrumental workout) in his own jazzy mold, with his evocative medley of "The Fool on the Hill/Nature Boy" sounding like it's been part of the American jazz repertoire all along. Cincotti's voice occasionally shows its tender years, but his shrewd instincts bridge genres and eras with mature, deceptive effortlessness throughout. --Jerry McCulley

A Very Bright Beginning For A Talented Young Man,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Cincotti (Audio CD)
With his self-titled debut album "Peter Cincotti", Peter has quickly established himself as one of jazz's most talented new songwriters and performers. Throughout his freshman effort he showcases the kind of talent that is truly rare by today's standards and gives us a preview of the great music that we can expect to hear from Peter for many years to come. Although his debut album has been out for over a year now, I think the public is just beginning to appreciate this young man's talent fully.Peter's choice of tunes for this CD is very tasty, mixing standards, originals, and classic rock/pop tunes. This varied assortment of songs gives Peter a broad canvas upon which he can utilize all of his talents and create a series of musical paintings that in turn define where he has been, and more importantly where he is capable of going as an artist. Two of my favorite tracks are Fool On The Hill and Spinning Wheel. Peter casts these classic tunes in a whole new light providing the listener with a very interesting musical experience. The whole album is a delight and I can't wait for his next offering. If you are in the mood for some bigger, brassier, swingin' versions of tunes from the Great American Songbook, I would also recommend Monte Procopio "Swingin' With Style".

Not quite there~,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Cincotti (Audio CD)
Peter Cincotti's songs seem rough around the edges. I've just recently heard Michael Buble and can say that this 25 year old is a modern day Frank. Peter Cincotti doesn't have the smoothness that Michael and the legends have. Though Peter's songs are still entertaining to a certain degree, I would try the other albums first. (Listen to the clips and you'll hear what I'm talking about)

You liked this CD??,

This review is from: Peter Cincotti (Audio CD)
I do not understand the hype behind this singer. He received glowing reviews in the NY Times and CNN, and frankly, I don't know why. Apparently, he has a great agent...he has an uncredited cameo in Spider-man 2 as the piano player in the Rose Planetarium scene. There was also talk of him appearing on the Spider-man 2 soundtrack. Well, who sings the the Spider-man theme in the new movie...Michael Buble! Now that's a great singer!
