Cardarelli Peter

American musician, a tenor sax player in Europe since 1992. A veteran of the Boston jazz scene, Peter taught at the University of Massachusetts in Boston and North Shore Community College. While touring central Europe in 1992 he met a group of top jazz players. In 1997 he moved with his wife Katarina to Bratislava and had an outstanding year. He found sponsors for his first CD, played 140 jazz gigs and several jazz fests, and achieved a level of appreciation and fame unavailable to him in the U.S. He returned to Boston for the 1998-99 school year but became increasingly disgruntled by what he calls the politically correct scene in the U.S. The appeal of the international community in Europe lured him back to Slovakia, where he has lived full-time since 1999.
