John Pizzarelli July 15, 2011

“He croons. He scat-sings with his own boppy guitar riffs. He strums intimate ballads. He leads his combos through hard-charging flag wavers. John Pizzarelli is too versatile to have the common touch, but as this CD of Ellingtonia shows, he’s an uncommon talent.” TIME MAGAZINE
John Pizzarelli has cultivated a winning international career by singing classic standards and late-night ballads, and by playing sublime and inventive guitar. Using greats like Nat “King" Cole and Frank Sinatra and the songs of writers like Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen as touchstones, Pizzarelli is among the prime revivalists of the great American songbook, bringing to his work the cool jazz flavor of his brilliant guitar playing.
