"There are cabaret pianists and saloon singers and then there is Peter Mintun. The first thing to note is that his repertoire is not a re-hash of the usual vintage lounge sounds. Yes, he does wonderful treatments of "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Willow Weep For Me." But he delights in helping the listener rediscover some long-shelved gems: "Rain on the Roof" or "Yours For a Song." Mintun's playing and singing are of the less-is-more school, generous enough to spotlight the music and lyrics, and his pleasure in the American Songbook is completely contagious."
