This was quite the auspicious start for ‘Concerts in the Clouds‘ (despite the weather not being as cooperative as one would have liked). The concert, from what I could see & hear, was a HUGE success — with ‘Peter Cincotti‘, who has earned the right to be called ‘incomparable’, exceeding all expectations with his performance. He was good; actually brilliant. He bills himself as a jazz artist. I think he has usurped ‘Billy Joel‘ as THE PIANO MAN. His effortless talent & charisma was humbling. Wow. I had never heard of him, but that means diddly. He sure had a following in the Tent. I was glad. It would be very wrong for me to say that ‘he will‘ (or ‘he should‘) ‘go far‘. He has already, from what I can see, got there. Good for him.
He has an outstanding (but easy) presence. He is so at easy. So natural. The epitome of a talented, consummate entertainer. ‘Concerts in the Clouds’ could NOT have done any better. All worked out.
The tent, from what I saw (& heard), worked — & worked well. Acoustics were good. Lightning was impressive. I ambled across the parking lot to get a distant shot of the tent. It, lit, looked real cool.
It was fun. Everybody seemed to really dig it — & it would have been hard not to, with Peter Cincotti & his very slick band strutting their stuff.
Bravo Peter Cincotti.
Bravo ‘Concerts in the Clouds‘.
