The New York Social Diary:

Read the New York Times article, STREETSCAPES: 1897 Town House That Looks Like an 1897 Town House featuring Peter Mintun.

"Peter Mintun is in charge...elegant, agreeable and reassuring...A genuine throwback to a gentler time, this elegant performer specializes in curios from the twenties and thirties like Kitten On The Keys, but he has also been known to play cartoon theme songs if the mood (or crowd) warrants it. Agreeable and assuring without being over-gracious, he's sort of a curio himself" -
The New Yorker

Nobody knows better, or plays better...popular music of the 1920s, '30s and '40s.
Alistair Cooke

Most gifted of all saloon pianists...the Vladimir Horowitz of cocktail pianists."-
Herb Caen, San Francisco Chronicle

Thumbs up to pianist Peter Mintun.
Peter Duchin, U.S.A. Today

His intuition transcends the gaucheries of nostalgia
James T. Maher, editor, American Popular Song

No one has a better style at the piano, and knows more music than this charming gentleman.
Margaret Whiting

One of the best melodic players on the scene today...He's got style, he knows how to please an audience, and he plays impeccably.
Bob Doerschuk, Keyboard

Peter Mintun's music-making belongs to the world, not only to San Francisco, where he plays nightly in the everyone-ends-up-there-sooner-or-later bar...His piano purrs, and it's a friendly as a drink on a rainy night.
George Christy, The Hollywood Reporter

...a course on what cocktail pianists are all about..a bright spot on the Manhattan music scene.
syndicated columnist, Gary Stevens

...charming, elegant...very pleasantly habit-forming.
Eric Myers, Time Out New York

When I grow up I want to be Peter Mintun.
Michael Feinstein
