John Mayer won't be the only young heartthrob playing a jazz concert in St. Louis during the first part of June, as pianist and singer Peter Cincotti will be at the Pageant on Saturday, June 4 and Finale is bringing in trumpeter and vocalist Jeremy Davenport for shows on Thursday, June 9 and Friday, June 10.
Cincotti has been getting a lot of buzz lately, appearing on the covers of both Keyboard and Jazz Times and performing in a special on PBS, while Davenport is a University City native now living in New Orleans who's drawn comparisons to Harry Connick and Chet Baker. For those of us who tend to evaluate musicians by how they sound rather than how they look, it should be noted that both Cincotti and Davenport are, in addition to being sharp dressers, pretty darned good at music, too.
