Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has been working professionally for about 45 years and has recorded over 30 albums as a leader. Pizzarelli‘s preferred format is with a trio, in the style of Nat King Cole: his swing-styled seven-string guitar, piano, and upright bass — and his casual but confident vocals.
For all his success and longevity, Pizzarelli, coming up on his 66th birthday, seems youthful — funny and easygoing as a personality and, inevitably, always the son of his legendary dad, the guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. Behind that casual front, though, Pizzarelli is also an exacting musician.
