    The smile on Bucky Pizarelli's face when the lead was passed to the accordion is precious. I loved Bucky's lead, but love how important it was to pass it around and play incredible back up for whomever had "the ride."

      i JUST saw that part and scrolled down to basically write the same comment about his smile upon passing to the accordionist... great moment caught on camera.

    Had the good fortune of listening to Bucky live at Palmer Square, Princeton, New Jersey on a fine summer afternoon. What a treat it was! Sorry to learn of his passing 😢 His legacy is great. RIP Bucky we ❤ you.

    Bucky was a true master at his craft and brought joy to many. I just learned of his death and that of his wife’s one week following. My sincere condolences to his children and grandchildren.

    Guitar playing aside, Bucky was literally always the best dressed in the room. Grey flannel suit and Gucci loafers; just pure class.

    I'm sure there is, but in this moment of time is there anything more uplifting than seeing an 88 year old playing jazz with the joy of life. Not saying this in a condescending way, but as an grateful thanks of inspiration. Sitting and playing instruments with your family on the porch all those years ago, you, Mr Pizzarelli, continue to bring great jazz through to the next two generations.

  • @jamescoughlan8193

    I know nothing about jazz or swing but what I do know is once Bucky started picking and strumming he physically grew thirty years younger , the power of music.

    @ArkRed1 Před 5 lety +7

    I sent Bucky his autobio and he autographed it for me. Such a nice guy. Love his comping and simple "to the point" phrasing. Notice all you shredders out there. No high, screaming, notes or sixty pedals to get sound out of your guitar. Just straight, forward, playing of guitar and amp. Bucky is a class act. I hope I can play 1/10th as good as that when I'm 88.

      Helps if the accordion has cassotto, to give it that smoother rounded jazz tone.

      Yes, the accordion gets bad press. Here in Ireland we say the definition of a gentleman is a guy who knows how to play the accordion but doesn't. But the truth is that placed in the right hands the sound from an accordion is up there with the best of them.

    I used to live in Edmonds Washington, and often would go to the Farmers Market there in Olympia. So many times Pearl Django would be there playing, and I mean it was heavenly to see them, so up close and personal. The fresh produce, and their music was certainly worth the drive.
