Jazz at the Kennedy Center

On Saturday night I splurged a little and went to a jazz concert at the Kennedy Center. Peter Cincotti is one of the up and comming jazz pianists, and at 21 years old is pretty impressive. Listening to much of his concert I kept being reminded of early Billy Joel – that’s not a bad thing, but I was expecting more of a Harry Connick.

His stage presence was pretty good for such a young kid. He told a cute story about opening for Ray Charles.

According to the folks last night, Peter’s got two CDs out. I’m going to have to find one and see what he sounds like in the studio.
