PETER CINCOTTI TO DEBUT AT THE BARNS OF WOLF TRAP

Peter Cincotti, 19-year-old Concord Records pop/jazz recording artist makes his Washington, DC area debut at BARNS OF WOLF TRAP (1635 Trap Road, Vienna, VA - 703-218-6500 - http://www.wolftrap.org/) Friday evening, April 25th at 8:00 pm. A quadruple threat as a pianist, vocalist, composer and arranger, Peter breathes new life into both jazz and pop standards. Peter, on piano and vocals, will lead his quartet, which includes bassist Barak Mori, drummer Mark McLean, and tenor saxophonist Scott Kreitzer. Admission price is $25.

Cincotti's program at The Barns will consist of selections from his recently released Concord Records self-titled debut CD, "Peter Cincotti." Produced by the legendary Grammy Award-winning producer Phil Ramone, the CD ranks #2 on Billboard Magazine's Traditional Jazz Chart and includes pop and jazz standards as well as three original songs. Arranged by Cincotti, the CD reflects many aspects of Peter's artistry and a wide palette of musical influences and eras.

Peter recently completed a 4-week sold-out engagement in the famed Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel. In recent months, Peter has been profiled on "CBS News Sunday Morning," "Breakfast with the Arts" on A&E and was a featured guest on "The Caroline Rhea Show." In addition, Peter has been featured in recent issues of Vanity Fair, ELLE, NY Magazine, NY Times Arts & Leisure and Teen Vogue.

Currently a sophomore at Columbia University, Peter developed a following during his high school years by performing with his own trio at numerous jazz venues, including The Knickerbocker and Joe's Pub in Greenwich Village. Peter won a coveted award at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. His talent and ability to captivate an audience have been recognized in places as far away as Tokyo, where Peter most recently performed.

Peter has been inspired and influenced by the great jazz pianists Erroll Garner, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum and the vocalists Nat "King" Cole, Shirley Horn and Carmen McRae. Like Diana Krall, his approach to reinventing jazz is part of a youthful discovery that infuses the standard with romance and mystery.
