THE PARK AVENUE TATUM
Possibly the greatest 5 star hotel pianist that ever graced America. His
arrangements and stylings of the memorable show tunes of the 30s, 40s
& 50s are the stuff of legend, his fluent and breathtaking abilities
were marvelled at by his peer group which included Cole Porter, Gershwin,
Richard Rogers and many of the best composers of that glorious era.
Upon hearing about this CD, the legendary pianist, George Shearing declared
with conviction, "I shall be first in line to buy it!"
Michael Feinstein, who was twelve years old when Walter died, added, "Listening to Cy Walter's recordings is one of the most fulfilling experiences I have ever had."
"Peter Mintun's superb liner notes..."

At
the new Steinway in the Greenbrier's Old White Lounge, redecorated
by Carlton Varney for the 2002 engagement of Peter Mintun. |
Peter Mintun is one of America's favorite society pianists.
Peter began his career in San Francisco, where for twenty five years his playing graced such rooms as Masons in The Fairmont Hotel and L'Etoile in the Huntington Hotel.
In 1994, at the suggestion of Michael Feinstein, he came across the United States to his first New York engagement, performing at The Madison Room at the New York Palace Hotel. Shortly thereafter he moved uptown to the Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle, where he entertained some of New York's most toney guests and visitors through 2002. Since then he has appeared at the famous Greenbrier Hotel and Resort in West Virginia, inaugurating their newly designed Old White Lounge (designed with Peter especially in mind by Carlton Varney, president of Dorothy Draper Incorporated - it was Mrs. Draper who redesigned The Greenbrier after the Second World War in her own inimitable and fanciful taste).
In 1999 Peter picked up and left his San Francisco home and bought a brownstone in upper Manhattan. Always an original one family residence, it has provided a home for Peter's various pianos (including multiple player pianos and Dana Suesse's concert Steinway), and his vast collection of paper perforated piano rolls, wind-up phonographs, and miles of vintage sheet music. On January 30, 2005 the house and Peter were profiled in the New York Times in a feature by Christopher Gray.
In 2003 Peter visited London, supervising concerts of the "classical" music of the late Dana Suesse. The music of this composer, who was represented by Mr. Mintun, has been revived recently by the BBC Concert Orchestra (conducted by John McGlinn), and the Albany Symphony (conducted by David Alan Miller - piano soloist Kevin Cole). Dennis Colwell conducted Suesse's Jazz Concerto (1956) with the River City Brass Band in Pittsburgh, PA. The soloist was Donna Amato.
A profile on Mr. Mintun was written by Will Friedwald for the New York Sun in the issue of January 25, 2005.
Peter finishes
off the year, as he has done for over a decade, conducting his own Peter
Mintun Orchestra for the San Francisco Symphony's New Year's Eve Gala
at Davis Symphony Hall.
