Pizzarelli’s late father\, the revered guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli\, was a frequent sideman for the legendary singer\, appearing on albums including 1960’s To My Wonderful One and 1969’s I’ve Gotta Be Me. John got his own opportunity to accompany Bennett for a radio broadcast that also featured pianist Ralph Sharon and bassist Jay Leonhart. The admiration was mutual – Bennett could be found in the audience for a number of Pizzarelli’s performances\, and sketched his likeness on two occasions. The charming artwork that graces the cover of Pizzarelli’s heartfelt new tribute album\, Dear Mr. Bennett\, was rendered during an engagement at Feinstein’s nightclub at New York’s Loews Regency hotel. Dear Mr. Bennett\, released on March 3\, 2026 via Green Hill Music\, is on the one hand a loving farewell to a profoundly influential musician who meant so much to so many. At the same time\, it’s a spirited celebration\, arriving just in time for Bennett’s landmark August 3rd centennial. A five-song EP will follow on August 7th to coincide with the occasion. Both releases feature songs made famous by Bennett over the course of his remarkable seven-decade career\, rendered with lively warmth\, soulful balladry and embracing swing by Pizzarelli and his trio featuring bassist Mike Karn and pianist Isaiah J. Thompson. Few performers in any genre or medium can tout the kind of longevity and universal admiration that Bennett enjoyed. As Pizzarelli marvels\, “Tony’s artistry was just so magnificent. And he was able to continually reinvent himself.” Pizzarelli’s trio has established a brilliant chemistry over the last six years. Dear Mr. Bennett finds them in dazzling form\, equally adept at scintillating jazz\, breathtaking beauty and radiant pop. They will be touring the world to perform this repertoire throughout 2026 and into 2027. Pizzarelli had long wanted to record an album dedicated to Bennett\, adding the tribute to the list of great songwriters and musicians that he’s honored in the past: Nat King Cole\, Frank Sinatra\, Sir Paul McCartney\, Richard Rodgers\, and Duke Ellington among them. In Bennett\, he has a subject who was not only one of the greatest singers of the last century\, but a friendly and accessible presence who might be encountered on the streets of New York City as easily as on a concert stage. “In Manhattan\, you’d run into him on the street\,” Pizzarelli recalls with a chuckle. “He was such a New Yorker\, and he was just a very open and kind person.” Listen To "Dear Mr\, Bennett" HERE The Peak Jazz Series is made possible by the generous support of Joseph & Luann Conlon in memory of Joel Moss.
