Born July 11, 1983, in New York City. Singer/pianist Peter burst onto the jazz music scene with his eponymous debut CD in 2003, one of the more skilled of the new generation of crooners. A piano prodigy, Cincotti ably showed showcased his chops on the debut CD, with a mix of standards and originals, carefully selected by him and producer Phil Ramone. Not content to be pigeonholed, Cincotti's sophomore effort, 2004's On the Moon showed him expanding his horizons both musically and personally, with a broader mix of styles (from a funk rendition of Bali h'ai from South Pacific to a poignant cover of Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me). Now signed to Warner Records and working with mega-producer, David Foster, Peter's third CD, the newly titled East of Angel Town, which is set for release in early 2007 will mark yet another departure as it will be his first release of all original material, all of the songs written or co-written by him and featuring another diverse mix of styles, ranging from ballad to blues to funk, yet always undercored by his considerable jazz talent and piano skills.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
