In Memoriam: Bucky Pizzarelli

We remember jazz guitar great Bucky Pizzarelli, father of John Pizzarelli, who just passed away not too long ago from the Coronavirus at age 94.  Father and son played together on several occasions.

John had been playing alongside his dad, since he was 20 years old.

Above is a full concert video of one of his last performances.  So, consider this not just a memorial post, but also, a Full Concert Wednesday, if you will.  Below, is an appearance he did, with Les Paul, another late, great hero.

Rest In Peace, Bucky Pizzarelli.  You will be missed.  Stay tuned.  Hoping to do a Spotify Sunday listing featuring Bucky Pizzarelli very soon.
