Hey everyone. I'm new here. Uhh......... my name is Kasey. I live in Missouri in the good old US of A. I guess I'm gonna explain why I'm here. Well, I guess it would start with my band program at my school. See, where I'm from you can learn to play an instrument in a band class when you get into the sixth grade. Well, when I hit sixth grade I started to play the tenor saxophone. I really enjoyed it, especially since I had a friend, Avery, there with me. We excelled in that class and continued on into the seventh grade. There we split up. See, I had made the top band at our junior high and he hadn't so I went on without him. At about Thanksgiving that year they were offering an extra-curricular jazz band. Well, jazz was the whole reason I wanted to be in band in the first place so I signed up and had to audition. Lucky me, again, I got accepted as the second tenor player in our top junior high jazz band. Well as I started playing jazz I started to get out there more and listen to the jazz classics. I had a great deal of education in the Frank Sinatra jazz area and so on a program I have on my computer I would search "Related Artists." Somehow, that led me to Peter Cincotti's page. I saw he was doing some of those classics I had heard so much about, the biggest I saw being "Ain't Misbehavin'." So I added it to my play list and listened to it. As the song progressed I found I was really enjoying this amazing singer and pianist. After singing a verse or two he went into a piano solo and toward the end of his solo, suddenly, the bass and trap dropped out. He then proceeded to work in a sort of double time rag feel that had me climbing up the walls. In fact, as I recall, I was wearing headphones and I looked over to my dad who was sitting nearby as if to say, "Can you believe this?" before I realized he couldn't hear it. I was practically jumping for joy, that's how happy his solo made he. However, the end of his solo, where he incorporated the most intense chords that rang out BEAUTIFULLY, was what really got me. From there I added more and more of his songs and started to listen to him as much as I could. Some of his songs I was reluctant to enjoy at first, stubborn as always saying the original was better, but eventually he wore me down. I'm now in high school and listen as much as I can to this amazing pianist. I joined this in the hopes he might somehow see my story and understand how much his music has an effect on people like myself. I now encourage you to post your own story of how you came to love Peter Cincotti.

P.S. I think it's absolutely hilarious that the spell checker for this site doesn't know the name Cincotti. lol. Maybe they should get that fixed......
