KuruPrionz Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 A great jazz guitarist and a proponent of the 7 string guitar. Mr. Pizzarelli passed on at 94, taken by Covid_19. He had a great run! https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2020/04/02/jazz-great-bucky-pizzarelli-dies-after-testing-positive-coronavirus/5112393002/ https://benedettoguitars.com/players/bucky-pizzarelli/ Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Larryz Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Rest in Peace Bucky Pizzarelli⦠His son also played a matching 7 string and it was a real treat anytime they played together and you can tell what an influence Bucky had on his son. I saw Bucky live at a PBS taping while sitting in the front row with two other couples. He was playing with Tommy Emmanuel, Frank Vignola, Vinny Raniolo and Joe Craven. I think Bucky had just turned 86. Although the rest of the crew were about 30 years or more younger, Bucky did a fantastic job keeping up (and out playing) with all of them. I have a copy of the taping on DVD that PBS provided to all the audience members as a fund raiser reward. I'll have to go back and watch the show again now. A real jazzy guy that deserves all the respect we can give him! I will miss him... Larryz Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Sad news. He had a good long run of it, but it is terrible that THAT was what took him.
