John Pizzarelli and Swing 7

"It seems no matter which songs he performs, guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli always delivers a certain amount of dashing and debonair." - All About Jazz

John Pizzarelli has a multi-faceted career as a jazz guitarist, vocalist and bandleader. A native of New Jersey, Pizzarelli has been playing guitar since the age of six, following in the tradition of his father, guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli. At 20, he began playing with his father before going out on his own.

Internationally known for classic standards, late-night ballads and the cool jazz flavor he brings to his performances and recordings, Pizzarelli has recently established himself as a consummate entertainer and radio program host with the launch of Radio Deluxe.

In addition to being a bandleader, radio personality and solo performer, Pizzarelli has been a special guest on recordings for a number of major pop and jazz artists, including James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Rosemary Clooney and Buddy DeFranco. He was recently featured opposite Donna Summer, Jon Secada and Roberta Flack on the Grammy Award-winning CD, Songs From The Neighborhood: The Music of Mr. Rogers.
