Summary: Audiophile? Videophile?
Comment: Sometimes you bought a DVD hoping a great sound.
Sometimens you ger some DVD hoping a great hi rez image.
In this one I hope for both and I didn't get none.
Boring, easy listening, fully marketing oriented.
The image is too lighting.
Forget about it.

Summary: The moon is a swinging place thanks to Peter Cincotti
Comment: What a joy it is to watch Peter Cincotti and his band on this great DVD "Live in New York"! Peter breathes new life into the songs from both his debut album as well as his most recent release, "On The Moon" which is included with the DVD. You can hear the Ray Charles influence on "The Girl I Knew". So much so that I was certain it was one of "The Genius"'s songs! What a pleasant surprise to learn that the song was written by Peter himself! The performances are nothing short of excellent. I guarantee, "A Night in Tunisia" will leave you speechless! In this world of lip sync and lackluster deliveries of songs, Peter Cincotti is like a fine glass of Cabernet after far too many years of grape juice. And like Caberbet, he will contiue to grow better with time.

Summary: Cincotti Swings Under The Stars
Comment: I ordered this without really knowing what to expect -- a 'live' concert recording perhaps? -- but the final product did not disappoint.
I've been a fan of Peter's music since his debut album release, and caught his performances at a showcase in Singapore followed by a Rome concert a few months later.
His Live In New York DVD features a comprehensive collection of all his famous works, from I Changed The Rules to Sway to St. Louis Blues and On The Moon. Filmed outdoors on a small neighbourhood street in NYC, it starts off in the day, then mellows into a beautiful sunset, before picking up the tempo as the stars emerge.
Lots of great energy here, as Peter jams with his excellent band and displays obvious enjoyment in his mega-watt smiles and rhythmic head-bopping. The sound quality on this high-definition disc is amazing, so make sure you watch it in the evening in a nice, quiet setting for maximum enjoyment.
I especially love his performances of Sway, You Don't Know Me and The Girl I Knew ( the last a bonus track and as yet unreleased ).
Guaranteed to satisfy all Peter Cincotti fans adequately. But I'm still hoping for a proper concert recording in the near future. An appreciative 'live' audience would be the icing on the cake.

Summary: great sax, tight band, best arrangements I have heard in a while for jazz
Comment: Saw this at Fry's. I was blown away by the sax. His musical restraint shows his understanding and maturity of music. He is not showing off. He is painting a picture and trying to paint something that will never be painted or copied again. That is memorable and the stuff of musicianship. The arrangements of Bali Hai, a Ray Charles classic and others are new and have that artistic fresh blend that doesn't come along often. Peter's piano technique is not only incredible but because of it, he has the capacity to blend, flex and push the limits of his ability while drawing on the potential and musicianship of the band, which he obviously trusts. Possibly his inspired talent is the impetus for the band to become more than just "the band". He comments on his inspiration by the likes of Billy Joel, Elton John, and other greats that I cannot recall at this time (my memory is not what I wish it was) is evident in his arrangements but without being overly obvious - subtlety. The drummer uses an African influence for one of the arrangements that is subtle and well placed. This band is probably one of the most artistically orientated because they neither overpower each other nor want to. I have to admit I don't care for Peter's voice but it's ok. I AM impressed with his choice of musicians and this DVD was a welcome refresher to jazz. Most jazz to my ears is muddied, muddled and over managed. I hope to see more of this restrained simplicity in the future. Besides, I believe it is more difficult to play clean than to slide all over the place in hopes of hitting a decent chord. BRAVO!
