The CD was also featured on National Public Radio’s nationally syndicated show, “Jazz With Bob Parlocha” Top 40 CD list this year as well. “Invitation: A marvelous debut disk, revealing a seasoned singer & multi-instrumentalist named Pattie Cossentino. Here’s YOUR invitation to discover a worthy artist you’ll want to hear more from!” Greg Lee Jazz-89 WMOT Nashville.
Jazz Review said of “Invitation :”Pattie Cossentino delivers a refreshing dish of originals, standards, and straight ahead jazz in Latin and swing styles on her debut CD Invitation. The versatile Nashville-based Cossentino is blessed with a warm and inviting singing voice that she compliments with her flute, and the soprano, alto, tenor, and bari saxophones. But it’s Cossentino’s instrumental work makes these tunes come alive.”

She has also performed with the Earl Gaines Band, Reading Civic Opera Orchestra, Nashville Jazz Orchestra, NPR’s "Live in Studio C" on WPLN Radio, The Bo Thorpe Orchestra, Teri Reid & Girltalk, The Nashville Saxophone Quartet, Sumner County Symphony, Jackson Symphony Orchestra as a featured soloist, Opryland Hotel and on the General Jackson Showboat.
