Bucky Pizzarelli – The Early Years (2020) [Official Digital Download DSF DSD64/2.82MHz + FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz]

A master of the subtle art of rhythm guitar as well as a gifted soloist, Bucky Pizzarelli, was known for his uncommonly sweet and delicate tone and disarmingly straightforward approach to melodic line. He became a mainstay of the New York jazz scene, often performing with his celebrated son John. Pizzarelli was among the few guitarists to play an instrument with seven strings rather than the customary six. (His son John was another; George van Eps is believed to have been the first.) The extra string, tuned to a low A, enabled him to provide his own bass line, an important advantage when he played unaccompanied or in a duo setting. He continued to perform into his 90s, even after hospitalizations.
He died of the coronavirus in 2020 at the age of 94.
