Lou Burno has worked as a professional bass player since the early 1960s, playing with both commercial and jazz groups. He performed with jazz legends John Mehegan, Dill Jones, Zoot Sims, Carmen Leggio, Toots Thielmans, and Bucky Pizzarelli, among others. He attended the Manhattan School of Music where he received both BMus and MMus degrees. After his training at Manhattan, he was a member of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for four seasons, and then moved to Vienna, Austria to study with Ludwig Streicher at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik. On returning to NYC in the late 1970s, he became a free-lance player, concentrating on both Broadway and concert work. Since his return he's been a member of the Brooklyn Philharmonic, American Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Pops. Among the many Broadway shows he's performed on are “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “End of the Rainbow,” and “Guys and Dolls.” Lou has also performed on the soundtracks to many major Hollywood films. He worked in Elaine Stritch's band for eleven years on her one-woman Broadway show, “Elaine Stritch at Liberty,” and her night club appearances at the Carlyle Hotel. He appears in the 2012 documentary film about her, entitled “Shoot Me.” Check out www.thebridgeportjazztrio.com

La familia Pizzarelli es una saga musical. Mary es guitarrista clásica, Martin es contrabajista de jazz, pero los dos miembros más conocidos de la familia son el patriarca y guitarrista de jazz y swing Bucky Pizzarelli, junto con su hijo John Pizzarelli, que además de tocar la guitarra de jazz también es un contrastado cantante. A ellos dos les dedicamos el episodio repasando dos de sus trabajos. Escucharemos uno de los últimos trabajos de Bucky quien lo firmó junto a la vocalista Alexis Cole. De John escuchamos el reciente "Stage and Screen" de 2023. Abrimos el episodio con la voz de Tom Lellis y lo cerramos con la de Rosa Passos.

After the big band era played itself out, the most versatile jazz musicians found plentiful work in the studios, recording every genre of music imaginable. Episode 19 focuses on the East Coast recording scene, specifically New York City. Dick Hyman, Bucky Pizzarelli, Alan Raph and Manny Albam share their studio stories.

The great jazz guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli released his first album 40 years ago. It was called I'm Hip (Please Don't Tell My Father).  His father, by the way, was the great jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, who passed away in 2020. Since the release of that album, John has toured the world and established himself as one of the great interpreters of the Great American Songbook. He's appearing at Keystone Korner here in Baltimore this weekend, and his sets will feature music from his latest release: Stage and Screen, which celebrates great music from Broadway and Hollywood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's hard to believe that forty years have gone by since John Pizzarelli recorded his first record album (on vinyl). He has a delightful new collection drawn from movies and Broadway shows called Stage & Screen (Palmetto Records). It reaffirms our opinion that he is the most engaging jazz musician and entertainer working today. A guitar virtuoso, he learned his craft from his Dad, the late Bucky Pizzarelli, and carries with him great memories of music legends he met while growing up. John believes that good music should be entertaining, too; Leonard and Jessie heartily agree.

John Pizzarelli is a remarkable performer, combining guitar virtuosity, musical knowledge and a clever sense of humor to create a memorable night of music.  I've known John for a long time, watching him grow from playing clubs in New Jersey and New York to venues all around the world.  His love affair with music started early, listening and watching his father Bucky Pizzarelli play with friends and family around the house.  The torch was eventually passed and John has run with it, creating a career of sweet sounds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Résumé : Le jazz et le cinéma ont mis du temps avant de trouver une relative harmonie. D'abord méprisé par Hollywood, ce genre musical majeur issu de la culture noire va véritablement prendre son essor sur pellicule à la fin des années 50. Mais c'est un cinéaste français, Bertrand Tavernier, qui le premier va réussir à évoquer l'essence même du jazz dans Autour de Minuit, qui ressort en salles le 16 novembre. Et deux ans plus tard, Clint Eastwood rendra hommage à cette musique si proche de lui dans Bird, sur la vie agitée du génial saxophoniste Charlie Parker. Jazz et cinéma s'interpellent et se répondent l'un l'autre, dans un grand morceau nourri d'improvisations et de ruptures. Musiques : Bande originale du film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud composée par Miles Davis Bande originale du film Autopsie d'un meurtre composée par Duke Ellington "I'll see you in my dreams" par Howard Alden, Bucky Pizzarelli, Kelly Friesen et Dick Hyman Bande originale du film Autour de minuit composée par Herbie Hancock

obituary courtesy of the International Society of Bassists: The ISB is sad to learn of the passing yesterday of bassist, composer, educator and recording artist Kelly Sill. He was 70 years old. Kelly was a beloved mainstay of the Chicago jazz scene for more than 35 years. Born in Fargo, North Dakota, he grew up in the Chicago area. After receiving his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he returned to Chicago to perform and record with jazz artists such as Art Blakey, Joe Henderson, Art Farmer, Clark Terry, Cedar Walton, Herb Ellis, Woody Shaw, Hank Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessel, Chris Potter, Ernie Watts, Bob Mintzer, Mel Torme, Anita O'Day, Jackie McLean, Joey DeFrancesco, Donald Byrd, Eddie Harris, Scott Hamilton, Victor Lewis, Clifford Jordan and Bucky Pizzarelli. He performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Elkhart Jazz Festival, the Red Sea Jazz Festival, Thessaloniki Concert Hall in Greece and Symphony Center in Chicago. Kelly's discography includes more than fifty recordings as a sideman and leader.   Kelly served on the faculties of Northeastern Illinois University, Lake Forest College, DePaul University and Northern Illinois University. He also taught at the Interlochen Arts Camp, Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop, Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp, University of Wisconsin/Stevens Point Jazz Camp, Clark Terry Great Plains Jazz Camp and the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) Summer Music Program.   Saxophonist Gregory Dudzienski recalls his friend: "Kelly was one of the warmest, most welcoming, supportive, and funniest people I've ever had the fortune to spend time with. He had that way of interacting with you, that way of giving you his full attention and self that made it feel like you were the most important person in the world to him. That way of interacting carried into his playing as well."   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Check out our Online Sheet Music Store with 100+ wide-ranging titles for bassists.   Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle.

In this weeks episode of the Working Artist Project, Darrian Douglas and Gregory Agid speak to clarinetist virtuoso, Evan Christopher Evan Christopher combines virtuosity, immaculate taste, and enthusiasm with a commitment to exploring the full range of possibilities in the New Orleans clarinet tradition. His highly personal brand of “contemporary, early jazz” strives to extend the legacies of early Creole clarinet heroes such as Sidney Bechet, Barney Bigard and Omer Simeon. Critics remarking on Christopher's dynamic expressiveness have coined his style “close-encounter music” (NEW YORK TIMES) and have called his respect for the music traditions of New Orleans, “a triumph, joining the present seamlessly to a glorious past.” (THE OBSERVER, UK). His journey on Clarinet Road began in 1994, when he left his native California to join the New Orleans music community. Diverse freelance work included gigs with musicians such as Al Hirt and veterans of Preservation Hall to funk and brass bands including the Nightcrawlers and Galactic. But in 1996, he left for San Antonio, Texas to appear nightly for nearly three years with the Jim Cullum Jazz Band and record several of their public radio programs, Riverwalk: Live from the Landing. When Christopher returned to New Orleans in 2001, his published research on the New Orleans clarinet style initiated pursuit of a Master's degree in Musicology at Tulane University. He began touring internationally and producing his “Clarinet Road” series of CDs (STR Digital). In August 2005, when Federal levees failed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina decimating the city, Christopher left again for Paris at the invitation of the French Embassy's Cultural Services division, where he formed his group, Django à la Créole. This Europe-based quartet fused Gypsy Swing with Latin-tinged grooves of New Orleans and beyond and was distinguished for an acoustic intimacy paired with driving swing. Critics charmed by the group queried, “Is there a more graceful band at work at the moment?” (THE SUNDAY TIMES UK). Three CDs for Lejazzetal (London), in partnership with Frémeaux & Associés (Paris)—Django à la Créole (2007), Finesse (2010), and LIVE! (2014)—earned the group critical attention worldwide for its elegant character. As a composer, Christopher's original songs are the high point of acclaimed recordings including Delta Bound (Arbors, 2007) featuring pianist Dick Hyman, The Remembering Song (Arbors, 2010) featuring guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, his clarinet feature on the Grammy-winning New Orleans Jazz Orchestra's Book One (2012) and his latest Clarinet Road CD, Bayou Chant & Other Textures (STR Digital, 2016). In July 2010, he had the honor to debut his Treat It Gentle Suite with the Minnesota Orchestra, which was the first concerto written for clarinet with band in the New Orleans style. Evan Christopher began his musical training on clarinet at age 11. In high school, he received the Louis Armstrong National Jazz Award and was one of the first graduates of the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy. He continued studies at the University of Southern California and graduated with honors from California State University, Long Beach. A brief teaching stint at the University of New Orleans saw the creation of a New Orleans music ensemble that performed with guest mentors such as Lucien Barbarin and Marcus Roberts. Since 2008, having returned once again to New Orleans, Christopher actively advocates for the cultural workforce and music education. He frequently tours with and records as a guest with forward-looking artists, while performances under his own name are often complemented by workshops and educational and community outreach. Occasional columns about the music scene and New Orleans culture written for NolaVie.com, evidence Evan's passion for the city's indigenous traditions.

Larry Cantwell is from New Jersey and attended The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, in history, during the tumultuous late 1960's, when he left college to pursue a music career. He traveled in New England with Soul and Rock bands, then returned to New York, where he advanced his music studies. He took advantage of diverse programs and talent in New York,  while working in assorted one-man and club date bands. Influenced by Nat King Cole and Stevie Wonder, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, songwriter and composer LC Wells offers thoughtful fusions of rock, jazz, and soul. His original music is co-produced with Jay Dittamo. He has worked with luminaries such as Bucky Pizzarelli, Mike Longo and the late, great Gloria Lynne. Wells' newest recordings have tapped into the long held social justice tradition of music. Unafraid to tackle issues that continue to affect our world, LC believes that shining a light on these topics is one of the greatest gifts of our musical heritage. “Love is love and deserves to be celebrated, but by calling out social injustice and demanding human rights for all, we can help provoke change.” LC's philosophy takes it all on with fearless determination. Wells lives and works in New Jersey, where he teaches private music lessons. His song, "I Wish It Would Snow," sung by Gloria Lynne in her last recorded performance, appeared in a Lifetime original film starring Gladys Knight and Taraji P. Hensen. soundcloud.com/lcwells www.wijsf.com www.wijsf.org

#536 - Frank Vignola Frank Vignola is a special guest on The Paul Leslie Hour! Frank Vignola is one of the great American-born jazz guitarists out there. He has gained significant acclaim as a recording artist and performer, but also as a teacher. He's worked with so many of the giants of jazz: Bucky Pizzarelli, Eddy Davis, Gene Bertoncini, Ken Peplowski, Wynton Marsalis and Howard Alden. Vignola's mastery has also lead him to work with everyone from Ringo Starr to Madonna, Donald Fagen and Leon Redbone. This interview with Frank Vignola is short and sweet. Talking with Vignola is like having coffee with an old pal. He shares what he learned Les Paul, making a samba record with Eddy Davis and how jazz artists can create performances that appeal to a wide variety of people. I hope this is not the last time Frank Vignola drops in on The Paul Leslie Hour! The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.

Hoy vamos a tener un programa relajado, con una música elegante y ensoñadora, una extraordinaria selección de estándares de jazz interpretados por el guitarrista y cantante estadounidense Jhon Pizzarelli. Pizzarelli, nacido el 6 de abril de 1960 en Nueva Jersey, posee una voz cálida y suave y junto a su presencia siempre elegante, se ha convertido en uno de los principales exponentes del jazz tradicional. Siguiendo los pasos de su padre, el también guitarrista Bucky Pizzarelli, empezó a cantar a los 20 años y siempre ha destacado entre sus influencias a la hora de tocar la guitarra las de músicos como Les Paul y Django Reinhardt. En esta ocasión vamos a disfrutar repasando su disco Let there be love, que, como hemos dicho, selecciona una preciosa colección de estándares de jazz. Empezamos por el primer corte, la canción que da título al disco: “Let there be love”, “Que haya amor”. Esta canción se publicó por primera vez en 1940, escrita por Lionel Rand y con letra de Ian Grant. La canción siempre ha sido muy popular y ha tenido infinidad de versiones. Escucharemos ahora la de Jhon Pizzarelli. En 1993 el John Pizzarelli Trio hizo de telonero en una de las últimas giras de Frank Sinatra, y participó en la celebración del 80 cumpleaños de este en el Carnegie Hall. En 1997 participó también en la producción de Broadway Dream, un homenaje al compositor Johnny Mercer. En 1998 grabó un disco, Meets The Beatles, donde reinterpreta canciones clásicas del grupo de Liverpool, tamizadas por su voz y por el jazz. Al año siguiente, en 1998, rindió homenaje a una de sus más grandes influencias en la canción, Nat King Cole, con P.S. Mr. Cole. Pizzarelli firmó en 1999 con el sello Telarc y grabó dos discos de estándares, Kisses in the Rain y Let There Be Love, en 2000, disco del que nos estamos ocupando. Escuchamos ahora “I’m putting all my eggs in one basket”, “Estoy poniendo todos los huevos en una cesta”, una canción escrita por Irving Berlin para la película de 1936 “Follow the fleet”, interpretada por Fred Astaire y Ginger Rogers. Desde entonces, ha grabado numerosos trabajos; un disco con el pianista George Shearing, otro para celebrar sus diez años de música con su trío, grabado en directo: Live at Birdland en 2003. Apartándose por un momento del swing, Pizzarelli grabó Bossa Nova en 2004, cantando composiciones de Antonio Carlos Jobim como "The Girl from Ipanema" y "Aguas de Marco". Ya en 2005 presentó nuevos estándares en Knowing You y, respaldado por la Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, le ha rendido homenaje a Sinatra en 2006 con Dear Mr. Sinatra. Seguimos con nuestro disco de hoy. Vamos a escuchar una cadenciosa versión de These foolish things, “Estas cosas tontas”, otro estándar con música de Jack Strachey y letra Eric Maschwitz, ambos ingleses y que se publicó en 1935. En este disco colaboran músicos de gran talento y muy reconocidos en el mundo del jazz. Al saxo tenor Harry Allen, un estadounidense que fue niño precoz y que destacó desde niño por poseer un talento excepcional para la música. Antes de trabajar con Jhon Pizzarelli ya lo hizo con su padre, Bucky Pizzarelli. Dominic Cortese, acordeonista, un músico versátil y quizá el más grabado de toda la historia de la música debido a sus innumerables participaciones, como músico de estudio, en sesiones de grabación de otros artistas, incluido, a modo de ejemplo, el trepidante “Viva las Vegas”, del Elvis. Ray Kennedy, pianista, compositor y arreglista, fue miembro del trío de John Pizzarelli durante más de una década aunque también grabó más de 10 álbumes bajo su propio nombre. Seguiremos con los músicos de la sesión pero, ahora, volvemos a la música: “Stompin’at the Savoy”, otro estándar de jazz de 1933, compuesto por Edgar Sampson y su título hace referencia al famoso local nocturno de Harlem, el Savoy Ballroom de Nueva York. Y aunque fue Benny Goodman el que llevó al éxito la composición y la acreditó como propia, el auténtico autor fue el citado Sampson. Dicho queda. Ken Peplowski, clarinetista y saxo tenor, otro de los músicos acompañantes de este disco, conocido principalmente como músico de swing. En algún momento ha sido comparado con Benny Goodman, con quien toco durante algún tiempo. Ambos fueron virtuosos en su instrumento. También toco en la orquesta Tommy Dorsey y ha colaborado como clarinete primero en orquestas sinfónicas. Y para que todo quedara en casa, nuestro artista invitado contó para este trabajo con la familia, su padre Bucky, a la guitarra y su hermano Martin al bajo, ambos músicos reconocidos en el mundillo del jazz. Más música: “I Don’t Know Why”, “No se por qué”, una canción publicada en 1931 y compuesta por Fred E. Ahlert. La canción ha sido grabada por muchos artistas (que van desde leyendas del country-blues como Moon Mullican y Jerry Lee Lewis hasta Dean Martin). Todos ellos la han convertido en lo que es hoy, un estándar. Y todavía nos queda un poco de tiempo para otra joya del álbum: “Just one more chance”, “Solo una oportunidad”, una canción de Arthur Johnston, compositor muy conocido en su época (1898/954) que trabajó con todos los grandes del momento: Irving Berlin, Sam Coslowy y Bing Crosby, entre otros. También fue nominado para el premio de la academia en 1936 a la mejor canción original por “Pennies from heaven”, otro de sus éxitos. Esta es la versión de Pizzarelli de “Just one more chace”. Os propongo una gratificante actividad para la que no tenéis que salir de casa. Volved a escuchar el podcast con los ojos cerrados. Estamos en un club de jazz, en Nueva York, en el Blue Note o en el Birdland, es igual, en buena compañía, con una copa en la mano y dejándonos llevar por la cadencia y la elegancia de la música… ¿Ya?... pues a vivir que son dos días. Bueno, para cuando os despertéis y ya me habré ido, así que, hasta la semana que viene… Y no, no se me olvida, …¡Buenas Vibraciones!.

Each week, you join us as we bring you timeless songs. But really… what makes those songs timeless? Is it because of their age, or is there something deeper within them? We explore that idea with violinist Aaron Weinstein; his latest album is called 3x3. We’ll talk about the album as well as his musical collaborations with the late Bucky Pizzarelli. More at aaronweinstein.net.

On this Olli Soikkeli interview, Olli talks about how he got into gypsy jazz (he started off playing metal) and what drives him... GREAT story how he got started in the music business, playing with his musical heroes, his determination to handle a threatening health condition, some unusual influences, not taking himself too seriously, fitness, nutrition, moving to NYC, pizza and loads more. Incredibly talented player in a very difficult niche. Olli Soikkeli is a gypsy jazz guitarist from Finland. He’s played in jazz clubs and festivals across Finland & Europe and has played with artists such as Bucky Pizzarelli, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanuel, Andreas Öberg, Cyrille Aimee, Antti Sarpila and Marian Petrescu.

Repasamos, en este episodio, el disco "Amoroso" de Joao Gilberto que enamoró a John Pizzareli y le inspiró para su trabajo "Bossa Nova", un tributo a Joao Gilberto y muestra de su amor por la música brasileña. Hemos puesto voz a las palabras del propio John Pizzareli, que nos irán descubriendo como se gestó el álbum. Abrimos el capitulo con un tema en homenaje a Bucky Pizzarelli, el gran guitarrista y padre de John, fallecido el pasado mes de abril.

Recently, bassist and vocalist Nicki Parrott released her latest album for Arbors… “From New York to Paris.” These are two cities that are very special to Nicki, but life for her began in Australia. We’ll discuss not only her early years down under but also her many years of collaboration with talented musicians like Les Paul and Bucky Pizzarelli. More at nickiparrott.com.

Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli sits down in a virtual chat online with his friend Ken Peplowski to talk about the legacy of John's father, Bucky Pizzarelli, the session guitarist, jazz player and bigger than life personality. 

After describing her brilliant voice as a perfect mix of Nancy, Sassy, and Lady Day, it came only naturally that the late legendary jazz trumpeter Clark Terry would, at New York’s historical Flushing Town Hall, select Denise Thimes as that night’s featured vocalist.This truly unique and inspirational artist is often asked by fellow noteworthy musicians “why haven’t we heard of you”? Not to worry. With a voice as noticeably (as Terry puts it) “ranks with all of the greats,” it won’t be long. Over the course of a multi-faceted career spanning just a little under 3 decades, Thimes is no stranger to the music world, growing up in a home surrounded by all types of music from her father & radio icon, the late Lou “Fatha” Thimes. Thimes has performed with such jazz notables as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra,(St. Louis, MO) the late Clark Terry(The Blue Note-NY), Dr. Billy Taylor, Earl May, Benny Powell,(Flushing Town Hall) and James Moody(Blue Note-NY). She has also graced the stage with the likes of Houston Person, Jimmy&Tootie Heath, Bobby McFerrin, and Bucky Pizzarelli.

Our guest is singer Steven Maglio whose sound is reminiscent of the great Frank Sinatra. THE NEW YORK TIMES said of Steve, “Steven Maglio does not have blue eyes, but with his smooth croon & Rat Pack swagger, listeners just might imagine they were at the Copa Room at the Sands in 1963.” While Steven Maglio is a singer of standards. Although he is especially appreciated for his renditions of songs made popular by Frank Sinatra, he is NOT an impersonator. https://www.stevenmaglio.com/home THE BEGINNING I was born in East Harlem, N.Y. on December 25, 1958. In 1966, we moved to the Bronx, and being the new kid on the block, I walked back and forth to school alone for the first few weeks. I heard Frank Sinatra singing “My Kind Of Town,” and to pass the time on my new daily trek, I would sing the song to myself over and over. After a few days, I decided I needed another song and began to explore the only Sinatra album we owned at the time, “A Man And His Music.” This was the beginning of my addiction, not only to Sinatra, but to that whole world of standard songs and singers. It wasn't until age 43, after eight years of secretly taking voice lessons and one year of cruising the New Jersey karaoke circuit, that I made my professional debut at New York City's “Tavern On The Green,” as male vocalist with Joe Battaglia & The New York Big Band in June, 2002. Since then I've performed from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, from Cape Cod to Nashville, from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, and from Brazil to Ecuador to Italy. In 2004, I started performing Frank Sinatra tribute shows at The Carnegie Club in New York, and I'm still singing there every Saturday evening. I've had the pleasure of entertaining President & Mrs. Donald Trump, Lisa Lampanelli, Vic Damone, Connie Francis, Jackie Mason, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, William Shatner, Brad Garrett, Dennis Farina, The Kennedy Family, and most of the cast of “The Sopranos,” just to name a few. As well as multiple sports figures, politicians, business moguls, and members of the press. I've had the honor of sharing the stage with The Duke Ellington Orchestra, Frankie Valli, Wayne Newton, Dionne Warwick, Deana Martin, Tony Danza, Danny Aiello, Steve Tyrell, Joe Piscopo, Bucky Pizzarelli, Pat Cooper, Norm Crosby, Larry King, Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge, The Spinners, and on a few occasions with Frank Sinatra's former pianist/conductor, Vincent Falcone, among others. I've appeared in the movies, “Frank & Alice,” “Once Upon A Time In Brooklyn,” “Once More With Feeling,” and in the music video, “For One More Day.” I've also sung “The Tender Trap” on the soundtrack of “My Best Friend's Girl.” In the Off-Broadway play, “Playing Sinatra,” my recordings of 11 popular Sinatra songs were used to replace the originals. I've released three CDs, “You Belong To Me & other songs Sinatra never recorded,” “Songs For Sinatra Lovers,” and “Sinatra en Bossa Nova.” Special highlights in my career were being the co-writer and official singer of “The Danny DeVito Limoncello Song,” used to promote the lemon flavored liquore that bore Danny DeVito's signature. Joining the all-star cast of The Cannolis television show. Becoming a member of the most prestigious organization in show business, The Friars Club. It's been a wild ride, and I'm far from being finished. The most common compliment paid to me is, “If Frank Sinatra heard the way you sing his songs …. he'd be proud.” AND I HOPE THAT'S TRUE ….. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/RickLertzman/support

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Steve HowellSteve Howell was thirteen when he first heard Mississippi John Hurt fingerpicking country blues. The year was 1965, and the experience became a revelation that opened the door to a new musical universe. Steve knew immediately that tame, folky strumming of the guitar was a thing of the past for him. As Steve’s journey progressed, Mississippi John Hurt begat Blind Willie McTell and Leadbelly. They in turn begat Robert Johnson, Son House, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Blake, and a host of other black acoustic guitar players and vocalists. His interest in rural, folk-blues styles and the history of the music led him to learn more about how this music came to town and melded with the horn-oriented bands prevalent in the cities, creating a strong affinity for him with traditional jazz and the music of New Orleans from the first half of the twentieth century. His musical Odyssey naturally included the pop, country, rock, and blues music of the last half of the century, but always in the background stood the music of Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Lester Young, Jack Teagarden, Art Tatum, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Chet Atkins, Johnny Smith, Wes Montgomery, Bucky Pizzarelli, Joe Pass, George Van Eps, Lenny Breau, and many other great jazz artists. Although very interested in many other music styles (bebop, rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, and others), the heart of Steve’s playing and singing is rooted in the rural acoustic blues and traditional jazz genres born in the American South. Steve Howell,Dindi,Long AgoSteve Howell,Z's,Long Agowww.makingascene.org,Steve Howell,Steve Howell,I'll Remember April,Long AgoSteve Howell,Song for my Father,Long Ago

Sesión de Green In Jazz a modo de modesto homenaje hacia todos aquellos músicos de jazz que nos han dejado hasta la fecha víctimas de la pandemia de Covi19. Wallace Roney decía que siempre tocaba con el corazón, discípulo protegido de Miles Davis y principal continuador de su estilo, fue uno de los más importantes trompetistas del jazz norteamericano a finales del siglo XX. Otro de los nombres ilustres que nos han dejado tras una semana hospitalizado en París es el legendario saxofonista camerunés Manu Dibango. Su canción Soul Makossa, se convirtió en uno de los primeros éxitos reconocidos mundialmente de la música africana. Dibango, de 86 años, ejerció siempre como difusor global de los ritmos africanos, colaborando con artistas de diferentes géneros y países de todo el mundo. Maikel Longo, pianista regular de Dizzy Gillespie en los años 60 y dueño de una respetada carrera como líder de numerosas formaciones. Otro de los nombres desaparecidos por la pandemia, como en España, el brillante saxofonista argentino Marcelo Peralta, uno de los grandes nombres de la escena madrileña, falleció el 10 de marzo, también por coronavirus. Igualmente le hemos dicho adiós a Ellis Marsalis, maestro y patriarca del jazz en Nueva Orleans. Educador, pianista y compositor Ellis Marsalis a ha dejado a consecuencia de una neumonía provocada por el Covid-19. Ellis Marsalis tenía 85 años. Quizá más conocido por ser patriarca de uno de los linajes familiares más populares de la historia del jazz, que por su propia obra musical. A lo largo de su carrera docente fue mentor y padrino musical de algunos de los máximos exponentes del jazz salidos de Nueva Orleans. Aparte, por supuesto, sus alumnos más importantes serían cuatro de sus seis hijos, que acabaron dedicándose profesionalmente a la música: por un lado, el destacable percusionista Jason Marsalis y el trombonista y productor Delfeayo Marsalis; por otro, dos de los nombres más importantes del jazz norteamericano en las últimas décadas: el trompetista Wynton Marsalis y el saxofonista Branford Marsalis. Tocó a presidentes y con importantes figuras de la música como Paul McCartney o Frank Sinatra, Backy Pizarrelli, miembro del Salón de la Fama de Nueva Jersey, falleció en su residencia de ese mismo estado tras haber sido diagnosticado con COVID-19. Mentor para tantos y tantos guitarristas de jazz, tanto profesionales como amateur, Bucky Pizzarelli trabajó en importantes piezas musicales para grandes figuras.

Judy Carmichael interviews Bucky Pizzarelli 

Desgraciadamente el coronavirus se ha ensañado de forma especial con el mundo del jazz. El pasado 22 de marzo, tres días después de cumplir los 83 años moría en Manhattan el pianista Mike Longo, legendario entre otras cosas por sus colaboraciones con el gran Dizzy Gillespie. El día 24 fallecía Manu Dibango, estrella y emblema del afrojazz. Tenía 86 años. A finales de ese mismo mes, el día 30, perdíamos a un famosísimo cantante y compositor, Bill Withers, autor de Ain’t no sunshine, uno de los standards inmortales del soul. Wither había cumplido 81 años. El 1 de abril nos dejaba con tan sólo 59 años el gran Wallace Rooney, trompetista extraordinario, amigo, protegido y más tarde sucesor de Miles Davis quién incluso le hizo de tutor en un gesto muy atípico del maestro. Al día siguiente, el 2 de abril, nos llegaba la triste noticia de la muerte de Ellis Marsalis, conocido como el patriarca del jazz, músico, pianista y educador además de padre de Wynton y Branford. El 3 de abril fallecía también Bucky Pizzarelli, excepcional guitarrista que había tocado con todos, desde Frank Sinatra hasta Paul McCarney. Bucky tenía 94 años. Con este desolador panorama hemos creído oportuno repetir la fórmula del capítulo anterior y ofreceros una selección de temas cercanos al jazz que sirvan para levantar la moral de todos los gatos en este humilde y confinado tejado. Esperamos que la hora que comienza os resulte agradable y que sirva para pasar un buen rato, algo muy necesario en estos tiempos que nos ha tocado vivir que nos recuerdan más al guión de una película de ciencia ficción serie B que a la realidad que conocíamos. Con este difícil propósito en mente, comenzamos!!!!

In this week's dispatch from the Fortress of Proopitude, Greg and Jennifer banter about Bill Withers, babka and Bucky Pizzarelli.

On this edition, we pay tribute to three great artists of music that passed away this week (March/April 2020), Jazz Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, New Orleans Jazz Patriarch Ellis Marsalis and Bill Withers. (www.dougmilesmedia.com)

The novel coronavirus has started to take its toll on figures from our popular culture. Adam Schlesinger, who founded Fountains of Wayne and wrote songs for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend among other things, died on Wednesday. The great playwright Terrence McNally died last week. The list goes on: songwriter Alan Merrill, country music star Joe Diffie, fashion designer Jenny Polanco, college basketball star Dave Edwards, actor Mark Blum, soccer star Lorenzo Sanz. And it seems like the jazz community has been especially vulnerable: guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, pianists Ellis Marsalis and Mike Longo, and trumpeter Wallace Roney have all died. And then: Dave is an FXX comedy series that tells a fictionalized version of the rise of rapper Lil Dicky, and John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch is a Netflix children's special that Mulaney made "on purpose." Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take: 'Lean On Me,' 'Lovely Day' singer Bill Withers dies at 81 The Stupidest [...] Movies Guaranteed To Make You Laugh During This CatastropheWho needs a plot right now?

Today we remember three people from the music world who died this week of COVID-19. First, we'll listen back to two interviews with the great jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. He was 94. Then we'll hear an interview with Adam Schlesinger, who was 52. He co-founded the band Fountains of Wayne, wrote songs for the movies 'Thing You Do!' and 'Music and Lyrics,' and won three Emmys for his songs for the TV series 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.' Later, we'll hear what jazz musicians Wynton and Branford Marsalis said about their father, pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis, who has died at age 85.

371 First it's a mini-review of the recent Tony Bennett concert, and then an interview with another legend in music. Jazz guitarist and banjoist Bucky Pizzarelli has a light-hearted chat about his musical life and perspectives. Originally recorded for radio broadcast, it now sees the light of day on the podcast. Bucky is synonymous with quality music. It's a tradition he has passed on to his sons John Pizzarelli and Martin Pizzarelli and his daughter Mary Pizzarelli. Bucky Pizzarelli has appeared on recordings of everyone from Tony Bennett to Ray Charles all the while being a prolific recording artist as a bandleader. He was even a member of the Tonight Show Band on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It's all right here on The Paul Leslie Hour! Special thanks to Sylvia.

It is an incredible honor to be the first to show case a new album on FM radio. In this episode of My Father's Place Radio, Richard Solomon interviews Bill Heller of the Rippingtons. The new album is entitled "Open Road."   This is his official bio: Bill Heller, best known as the keyboard player for the legendary contemporary jazz group the Rippingtons, grew up in a very musical household on Long Island, NY. His Dad was a conductor (NYC Subway), and his Mom orchestrated all the activities around the house! From an early age, he and his two brothers were surrounded by family get-togethers filled with music. It wasn't long before he got into the act, playing accordion! Bill attended Fredonia State University, and received a degree in Music Education. Bill met Russ Freeman (leader of the Rippingtons) while recording at his studio in Colorado. Russ asked him to play on a few tracks that he was producing for his and Craig Chaquico's "Redwoods to the Rockies". His first Rippingtons recording was “Topaz”, back in 1998, and he began performing live with the band in March of 2001. Since then, Bill has co-produced all of Craig’s CDs, of which a few songs made it to the #1 position on the smooth jazz charts! Bill released his first effort as a solo artist Find the Way in 2014. The project contains 12 titles, all written and produced by Bill. This recording features performances by Jeff Kashiwa and Eric Marienthal, and three different rhythm sections. From the Rippingtons Dave Karasony-drums and Rico Belled-bass, Joel Rosenblatt-drums (Spyro Gyra, Blood Sweat & Tears, Bill Evans, Michel Camillo) and Dave Anderson-bass (Bill Evans, Art Garfunkel, Blood Sweat & Tears, Bob Baldwin), Frank Belluci-drums (Bucky Pizzarelli, Oz Noy, Rachel Z) and Jim Cammack-bass (Ahmad Jamal), also Carl Fischer-trumpet (Billy Joel, Maynard Ferguson), and Luis Bonilla-trombone (Diana Ross, Marc Anthony, Vanguard Jazz Orchestra). For the last ten years Bill has served as the Musical Director for the Long Island Hall of Fame awards shows. He provided arrangements and incidental music for these shows. The bands he assembled accompanied such acts as Daryl McDaniels of RUN-DMC, Kurtis Blow, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Gary US Bonds, Felix Cavaliere, The Lovin Spoonful, Charlie Daniels, Eddie Money, Steve Vai, Vince Giordano, and more. Some of the legends inducted at these shows have included Clive Davis, Ron Delsner, Lou Reed, Eddie Palmieri, Charles Koppelman, and Steven Van Zandt. Bill has produced recordings for jazz guitarists Steve Briody and Matt Marshak. He has also performed on Broadway for the shows Movin’ Out and Hot Feet!

 Lisa S. Johnson’s guitar art, is taking the world of fine art photography on a rock and roll ride. Born into a talented family, with a mother that sings and a father that plays guitar, bass, violin and mandolin, Lisa fell in love with melody and imagery and pursued a career in photography. After a successful 10-year stint at Kodak, Lisa found herself befriending the owner of a vintage guitar shop in Memphis, TN. It was there that she began to exclusively photograph guitars. Since then, Lisa has photographed the guitars of Les Paul, Jimmy Page, Roger Waters, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, Lou Reed, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, John Lee Hooker, Peter Frampton, Chrissie Hynde, Joe Satriani, Wayne Kramer, Michael Wilton, Phil Collen, Ace Frehley, Ted Nugent, Carlos Santana, Scotti Hill, Ben Harper, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Scofield, John Hiatt, Luther Dickinson, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Lucky Peterson, Al Kooper, T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour, Steve Earle, Keb Mo, Nancy Wilson, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Robbie Robertson, George Benson, Steve Vai, Jack White, SLASH, John Entwistle, Michael Monarch, Brian May, Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, Brad Paisley, Willie Nelson, Richard Thompson, Gary Rossington, Joe Walsh, Robby Krieger, Mick Ronson, Bob Margolin, Hutch Hutchinson, Bonnie Raitt, Brian Setzer, Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Zakk Wylde, Warren DiMartini, Dave Mustaine, Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell, K.K. Downing, Steve Howe, Dave Mason, Tommy Shaw, Mark Farner, Brian Robertson, Steve Morse, Porl Thompson, Michael Schenker, and many more. Far from still life, Lisa’s work conjures the abstract, yet also possesses a very sensual and ethereal feel that intentionally illustrates the intimate wear and tear details of the instrument. Her unique presentation undoubtedly personifies the musician and captures their true spirit in these wooden extensions of their own iconic flesh. http://108rockstarguitars.com
