As a volunteer, part-time jazz DJ who actually interacts with audiences, many, many people have shared my opinon that Peter Cincotti exhibits jazz chops today on a level that undoubtably are as astonishing to the audiences as those who heard Chopin interpret and write the classics of his time...and that's assuming Chopin could sing, which is doubtful.
Having met Peter only once, I suggested he fall in love with the song "Sway." I have this feeling he will be playing it for the rest of his life by audience demand.
As well, it would be great if Pablo Ruiz, who apparently wrote that song circa 1953 is still with us. Peter's version would convince him Heaven is much closer than most of us think. To-the-core songwriters absolutely crave a simpatico moment with writer and artist. If ever such moments exist outside of Judy Garland and Harold Arlen, "Sway" is the one for me.
"Sway"
