Genre
Jazz
Guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli is an ebullient performer with a soft voice, charming stage presence, and knack for swinging, old-school jazz. The son of the late guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, he first rose to prominence by interpreting jazz standards and American popular song in his own urbane style on Top Ten Billboard Traditional Jazz-charting albums like 1997's Our Love Is Here to Stay and 2005's Knowing You. Along with lauded appearances on Broadway, he has continued to explore music beyond the swing tradition, as on 2004's Brazilian-influenced Bossa Nova, 2015's Paul McCartney tribute Midnight McCartney, and 2021's Better Days Ahead: Solo Guitar Takes on Pat Metheny. Yet classic Hollywood and Broadaway musical songs remain a core passion, as evidenced on his 2023 trio album Stage and Screen.
