Rockin In Rhythm: A Tribute to Duke Ellington features special guests Bucky Pizzarelli, Kurt Elling and Jessica Molaskey with arrangements by Don Sebesky

Singer/guitarist John Pizzarelli, a master in the art of reinventing jazz classics, celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, undeniably one of the most prominent musical icons of the 20th century. Set for release on February 23, 2010, Rockin In Rhythm: A Tribute to Duke Ellington (TEL-31921-02) is Pizzarellis first ever Ellington recording and his ninth release with Telarc International, a Division of Concord Music Group.

Pizzarelli was still a very young musician when Ellington died in May 1974, but thanks to his father veteran guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli he would eventually learn much about jazzs most important composer.

Dukes music was an integral part of any set my father played, says Pizzarelli. I heard a tremendous amount of his music listening to my Dad and then through performing with him. There are some many beautiful melodies and so many discoveries to be made on any given night.
