Bucky Pizzarelli - RIP


Recommended Posts

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!

It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Rest in Peace Bucky Pizzarelliâ¦

 

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...

Take care, Larryz
