Bucky Pizzarelli is a regular guest of Umbria Jazz, often appearing in the company of his son John, the talented singer. He is widely held to be one of the masters of the guitar, and the books he has written on it have become the bible of many students. He has performed as a soloist with symphony orchestras, but he is renowned above all as a first-class jazz soloist and magnificent accompanist. Many musicians have called on his talents, from Benny Goodman to Zoot Simms, as well as pop singers such as Neil Sedaka and Ray Charles, and, of course, Frank Sinatra. Bucky is an innovator (he has developed a famous seven-string guitar) and fine stylist, an elegant, composed, relaxed guitarist with an innate sense of swing.
