BUCKY PIZZARELLI
John "Bucky" Pizzarelli was an internationally renowned man of music. His instrument of choice was the guitar, and his style was jazz. For more than half a century, "Bucky", as he was affectionately known, has been a part of the fraternity of musicians who have kept mainstream and traditional jazz alive. The list of big bands and vocalists with whom Bucky has performed and recorded reads like a veritable who's who of jazz. He joined Vaughn Monroe's band while still in high school, and later played with studio bands on major television networks. There he distinguished himself as one of the best rhythm guitarists in the business. Not content with studio work alone, he jammed with and accompanied some of the best in the pop and jazz world, including George Barnes, Stephane Grappelli, Slam Stuart, Zoot Sims, Flip Phillips, and his sons Martin and John Pizzarelli. Dedicated to swing and American popular songs, Bucky was one of the most sought-after guitarists in the music world.
