I met Bucky about 10 years ago.Since then I had life changing experience I had s private master class with him at his family home. I'm dad saddened by his passing. Hey was a wonderful human being...the world will miss him....paul bracco
So sorry to hear of his passing, but so grateful for his contributions to jazz. I bought an Excel because of him. Love his stories. R.I.P. Maestro Bucky.
My father played with Bucky in the service, WW11 and new him through the years. My father was a Jazz piano player called Boogie Joe. I happen to own a D'Angelico proto type featured at the 2003 NAMM show...Love the Guitar!!!!!!
I've been looking at getting the EXL-1 so my research has brought me here. I saw Bucky's name in the menu so selected this video. Nothing is better than Bucky (and his son, John) playing from the Great American Songbook...or just running through some chord progressions. I consider myself a jazz chord guitar player and love that style, so expertly performed by the Pizzarelli's. Every review of a D'Angelico guitar that I have read has been a 5 of 5 then add these review videos and you have a winner!
He was so spry at his age. This is a great video! Love that they played Snowfall. I think Bucky's friend Barry Galbraith was in the Claude Thornhill orchestra around the time they came out with that tune. So many great players in that generation.
People of that age and wisdom are so cool. And he's an awesome player. To imagine the stories he told or adventures he'd gone through... i bet he has so many cool stories
I am the proud owner of an EX-DH LH. (Lefty) D'Angelico of the 4 guitars I own it's the cleanliness sounding guitar. I bought it in 2016 from Steetsounds in Brooklyn, I don't know if they did the setup but, if they did they did a great job. Not one fret on it buzzes just a beautiful guitar. Hey Rock, should you read this contact me when you re-stock with a LH guitar. Thanks.
After 40 plus years of guitars.... i agree, i thought i loved my other acquaintances ... but my D'Angelico , now she's a lady I'll never leave... Right. Kimberley" lol...
Such a sound naturally & acoustically... just with a mic... hearing the ‘acoustic’ Overtones mixed in for what seemingly was picked up with a mic ... (in the background ... listening with headphones...)
I’m 70 I still got time to learn. Got a excel dc
when did you start learning guitar?
Covid-19 just took him out. I'm glad he got to live a long, full life. RIP Bucky.

🌈💫🎩✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶

this man is an institution, a monument to music, art and jazz
An absolute giant! Swing, soul, taste... he had it all. Thanks to D' Angelico for making this video and honoring a real artist.
Thank you for making such a wonderful video about a true living legend. I only wish more guitarists could be exposed to his playing. Bucky!!!!!
Jazz Age Guitar dcdgg bvn.ghk
ztmt
That is also my only wish.
Bucky - and his son John - are national treasures. Rest in peace, Bucky. Ciao, paisan!
I had the opportunity to see Bucky and John play at Sanibel Playhouse circa 2002-3 (?). It was a great show. Thank you Mr. Pizzarelli.
Glad there are these videos for the world to remember Bucky.
My father played with Bucky in the service, WW11 and new him through the years. My father was a Jazz piano player called Boogie Joe. I happen to own a D'Angelico proto type featured at the 2003 NAMM show...Love the Guitar!!!!!!
What a magnificently beautiful guitar. Leave it to the Italians to create a masterpiece.
Very nice. Love seeing Bucky play and hear his stories.
Bucky blends an old school blue collar work ethic, with the artistry of a Michelangelo, on his D'Angelico.
You nailed it!.... what's more to say?...
RIP Mr. Pizzarelli, send our regards to Wes M. and Joe P. from us!
This proves that it’s physical possible to sound great at 90. Hope he’s resting in peace

he was such a great player,and very modest
RIP Bucky. Another legend lost.
I want one! What a beautiful tone from a fantastic well made instrument. 😊🎸🦅
Did you get one, five years ago? I love mine!
I have an EX-63 and can only hope one day to get even close to guys like this...
90 yr old that can still play and at that still better than me
Rest in Peace, Bucky

a master.
So nice to be able to watch this for the first time today such a cool dude and I really like these guitars
I love your guitars. Granted I only have one. Lol. My D’Angelico premier DC Teardrop in transparent Cherry, is such a joy! I love it!
Goddamn shame more people don't know about this guy. One of the first jazz guitarists I looked to for influence when I started learning. What a legend
He was brilliant with the best jazz guitar that delivers the best possible tone that a Gibson jazz guitar can't deliver.
Bucky is amazing. What a time in music and show business!
People of that age and wisdom are so cool. And he's an awesome player. To imagine the stories he told or adventures he'd gone through... i bet he has so many cool stories
Love ya' Bucky!
MASTERS AT WORK , WOW ALFRED PUERTO RICO .
Rest in peace
Love that “Snowfall”. Thankfully Bucky does not have to endure what has become of NYC.

Sean Daniel brought me here and boy am I glad
Rip greatest ever
Yeah!! Master Bucky!!!
If you close your eyes and listen, not only do you hear beautiful music but he sounded about 60 :)
Amazing
It says alot when you cant trade 2 Gibson Les Paul's from Les Paul for 1 D'Angelico. RIP O. GIbson, Les Paul, Bucky, and D'Angelico.
90 years, he had A good run
The Master.
After 40 plus years of guitars.... i agree, i thought i loved my other acquaintances ... but my D'Angelico , now she's a lady I'll never leave... Right. Kimberley" lol...
Fantastic! What was the last song they played?
RIP
Magic.
Such a sound naturally & acoustically... just with a mic... hearing the ‘acoustic’
Overtones mixed in for what seemingly was picked up with a mic ... (in the background ... listening with headphones...)
Hello guys, Im not really familier with jazz, What does he play when he sits down? Simple but beautiful.
Those supro amppppps
RIP
Which Supro amp is that? Sounds so good clean.
Nice video but nobody thought to plug Mr. Pizzarelli in?
Does anyone know the song at 3:05? Its so nice
Song @3:05 = "Snowfall". Claude Thornhill's theme song (Big Band era).
Snowfall
Ahmad Jamal Trio does a great job covering that song.
Really nice video but too bad cuts out when he starting to solo nice to hear him but would’ve been nice to see that too
Supro amps any good?
Very good.
Does anybody know what Supro model they are using? :)
🤩👍
Johnny Smith at 1:50.
Didn't realize that he was a major session guy
Pronounced : "Dan-gelico"
:)
RIP
:)
