CINQUE

Cinque (pronounced “Cheen-Kwe”):

Definition 1: From the Latin quinque, Cinque carries the meaning of "five" in Italian.

Definition 2: A new and star-studded jazz-funk quintet destined to turn heads.

The evocative amusement-park themed artwork of Catch A Corner is highly fitting. The debut album from new heavyweight combo Cinque will take you on one thrilling musical joyride.

The name Cinque will be unfamiliar, but its membership includes some genuine musical legends. Joey DeFrancesco is considered by many to be the greatest exponent of B3 organ playing in jazz, while Steve Gadd has long been the first call drummer for such stars as James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, Chick Corea, and Paul Simon. Award-winning pianist Robi Botos has opened for Oscar Peterson (the jazz legend actually selected Robi to teach his daughter piano), and has recorded and performed with artists ranging from Chaka Khan and Molly Johnson to James Blood Ulmer, veteran saxophonist John Johnson has accompanied Aretha Franklin, Dianne Reeves, and Diana Krall, and producer/bassist/arranger Peter Cardinali's lengthy resume includes the likes of Rick James, Brecker Brothers, Ray Charles, Toots Thielemans and Michael Bublé.
