Peter Cincotti: The Rainbow Connection
Manage episode 489718166 series 3664379
Peter Cincotti started playing piano at the age of three. At seven, he met Frank Sinatra. At 18, Peter was the youngest artist ever to reach # 1 on the Billboard Jazz charts (he retains that distinction to this day). But when he was 17 (a very good year!), he joined Tom in the cast of the Off-Broadway musical hit, Our Sinatra, and a lifelong friendship was born.
Peter’s latest album, “Live At The Cafe Carlyle,” is his first recording on vinyl, and it’s a knockout. It’s so good that George Clooney kinda swiped our copy upon a chance meeting at The Polo Bar (though he was a gentleman about it!).
We talk about weddings, Sinatra’s deep feelings about sharing olives, finding your ancestral roots – whether you want to or not, and coping with loss through music. All these beautiful stories, and more ONLY on The Tom & Mickey Show!
You can find all of Peter’s music on your favorite streaming platforms, and order his latest album on VINYL at Petercincotti.com and follow him @petercincotti
