Bucky Pizzarelli was a legendary Jazz Guitarist. He was the father of Jazz guitarist John Pizzarelli and double bassist Martin Pizzarelli. He worked for NBC as a staff member for Dick Cavett (1971) and for ABC with Bobby Rosengarden in (1952). The list of musicians he collaborated with includes Benny Goodman, Les Paul, Stéphane Grappelli, and Antônio Carlos Jobim. Pizzarelli cited as influences Django Reinhardt, Freddie Green, and George Van Eps.
Bucky Pizzarelli was a master of the subtle art of rhythm guitar as well as a gifted soloist, known for his uncommonly sweet and delicate tone and disarmingly straightforward approach to melodic line., Bucky Pizzarelli was one of the few guitarists to play a seven-string guitar, often performing with his celebrated son John. Pizzarelli was among the few guitarists to play an instrument with seven strings rather than the customary six. ‘I like this album. Not only that, we both like the same ice cream. It’s sheer pleasure to hear a guitar sounding like a guitar again – Les Paul 1972
