Luckily the Pizzarelli bench had someone to replace Jessica Molaskey at last night's performance. 88 year young Bucky Pizzarelli was the designated musician, and for lovers of jazz and great music this was a night to remember. It was a spectacular display of guitar playing as the symmetry of notes between father and son(s), with Martin on bass is a unique listening experience.
John is well known for his humor, wit, and ability to impersonate Bucky. His story telling was never better. Every once in the while I had the feeling I was also in a comedy club. If you want to know how joyous and happy this family makes an audience feel just look at those famous smiles of Bucky in the photos. It was contagious and absolutely no one asked for a raincheck.
John Pizzarelli & Jessica Molaskey run October 28 - Nov 22 at Cafe Carlyle.
