Love the bridge. Pizzarelli does a great job in interpretation and does a better rendition than any one I've heard here on YT, for one, he slows it down to a mildly swingin' ballad with great harmony. Song's composer - Benny Carter - wrote this in '36. But he plays it too fast. John Pizzarelli brought this song to a whole new level making it beautiful. I worked it out on the piano (Db) I think... keeping it about the same tempo.
+Edad Martin I love the Rockies. But it's hard to find good jazz, either there or in the Ozarks region from which I come. Appalachia is probably similar. Lots of bluegrass and country music, however. It's a good thing I'm an eclectic kind of guy.
amazing group, only great musicians. i am becoming a real fan of John Pizzarelli. He and Joe Pass are my favorites. Probably has something to do with the italian blood
Love his version of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” Combining Wes Montgomery and Allman Brothers. The upbeat tempo is great cruising music to me. I appreciate John bringing back so many classics of several genres. Thank you John! Keep it up!
Drum machines are often good for pop and rock songs, but most of those machines suck when it comes to the kind of play heard here, with soft brushes. I wish more companies would address that flaw --- but I suppose that their failure to do so opens up a lot of opportunities for REAL drummers.
Your crew sure knows how to capture true Jazz musicians. Excellent. And yes I always enjoy Pizzarelli stories.
Class!
masterpiece... the talk and music at its finnest, love pizzarelli playing, also every jazzcat together
Love this- great music from a very compelling musician, and excellent interview questions from someone who's already in the know!
John much like his Dad, is always a good listen. Saw him do the Nat KC tribute with Freddy Cole & the Oregon symphony. Man what a show
+greatvanzinni Man & here with a small group they just cook.

The double bass player is John's brother
His voice is beautiful! He has the Chet Baker's smooth!

at 10:10 i thought that was Chick Corea "Spain" but it was "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" with "4 on 6"
What do you want from me? I'm a Rock Guy
Great new piano player in the band although Ray is still missed. To me was really an essential part of the group.
Indeed..
..my dear Lord how Ray Kennedy is missed..Ray was one of the finest piano players I have ever heard..
God Bless Him..
