Today, we welcome John Pizzarelli to the JAZZIZ Podcast. The acclaimed guitarist/vocalist John Pizzarelli celebrated the 40th anniversary of his recording debut with a new album, Stage & Screen, released earlier this year via Palmetto Records. The album features Pizzarelli's trio with bassist Mike Karn and pianist Isaiah J. Thompson and finds inspiration in classic songs from Broadway musicals and Hollywood films. Aside from speaking about this new record, we take this opportunity to speak with the artist about some highlights of his journey in music and stories from his formative years, including his love of Nat King Cole and memories of touring and performing with Frank Sinatra early in his career.
