I love this music! I just heard Bucky and John Pizzarelli on Piano Jazz. I've heard them each on the radio, but this was the first time I've heard the two together.
This demo showed me that the Pizzarelli's are great players - which I already knew - but I learned close to nothing about each of the two amp models. I could not give it a thumb's down though; I love their work too much.
saw them at Lionel Hampton Jazz fest a few years back. They were truly amazing. You dont get a sense of how rich their tones and styles are. They have a 7th string and it honestly sounds like theres a bass player back stage its amazing. Such great music.

I got to see John and Bucky play a couple days ago at the Detroit International Jazz Festival, and they are indeed awesome. Both are masters in their own right. A magnificant performance, indeed.
John's probably more unknown from his Mohegan Sun comercials. Why no mention of the 7th string bucky added to his guitar to facilitate a smoother walking base line?
Saw Bucky at Town Hall NYC 37 years ago. Amazingly good. Brought out his daughter to play a classical duet. Bucky played a nylon string for that, then he went back to the green Gretsch, and that 7th string made quite an impression on me. Bass lines so effective as a solo. Bucky's one of the chord melody heroes, in the discussion with Van Epps and Johnny Smith. What Bucky may lack in facility he more than makes up for in grace, elegance and good taste. Check out the album `New York Swing."
Well, I ain't knockin' Pass LOL. He was another great one. There are so many, so many. People started to go crazy for speed on the frets, and along came people like Al DiMeola. Fast, yes, but they sound like they're practicing scales in warp speed. Big deal. How about some beauty? Really it's unfair to compare. It's like comparing Getz with Coltrane. One is an inventor, one is a "singer." It's all good. As long as it's not elevator jazz a'la Kenny G, John Tesch or Yanni. Puhleeze!!!
I haved a 22 year old daughter, it got to the point where she wouldn't drive with me because of the music I played, Miles/Trane, Chet Baker, to name just a few
that really sucks to hear. im a 23 year old music teacher, and i hate that my generation and the ones after me dont care to hear this classic stuff. most would rather put on some background "muzack", or listen to some teenage angst-ridden bullcrap and wallow in self-pity over how sucky their life is lol. but im working real hard to expose my kids to some of this greatness, and a few have come to me telling me how uplifting this "jazz stuff" is. so i have hope yet =) great stuff here!
it's great to hear, someone is passing on the tourch. My son will be 17 in a few days and he's listening to Ella and Mose Alison. It drives his friends nuts when they're in his car.
Too true, too true my friend. I remenber Ted greene wrote that "the desire to create something new in jazz, should never surpass the desire to create something beautiful"...And to me, people like Al dimeola come to mind, amazing technique? yes, beautiful music? Hard to digest is what i would say.
Even though I prefer Bucky's playing to John's, they sound absolutely perfect together! Hands down one of the best jazz guitar duets in the history of the instrument.
Whoa....the photographer on this video had two heads blocking the two guitars. I hope he (or she) learned a lesson, because this could have been the PERFECT video of Bucky and son.
John, I sit here listening to your interview on PBS radio, WMUK at Western Michigan University as I tyoe this your singing "straighten Up and Fly Right."

JeromeW i know for a fact that Bucky, at least, is playing a Benedetto, and i'm not sure what John is playing, but it is definitely not a Gretch

AFAIK, John's guitars are made by William Moll. Bucky, as you say, plays a Benedetto.

Did you say Bucky added a 7th string to his guitar?!
I was thinking of removing one string from my uke because it was too hard to play.
