PETER CINCOTTI

When Peter Cincotti starts singing, you hear an almost worn out Tony Bennet or the tormented soul of Chet Baker, but not a 19 year old guy. However, at this age he recorded his debut album ‘Peter Cincotti’ (Concord/Challenge). Romantisism and nostalgia of of a child prodigy, has the new Harry Conninck Jr. stood up? ‘The gifted 19-year-old jazz singer and pianist brings a meticulous perfectionism to his performance. His phrasing is elegant, his diction meticulous, his choice of songs are boldly offbeat’ (The New York Times).
