We lost one of the greats, Bucky Pizzarelli on April 1st. Learn more about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucky_Pizzarelli
Most of you already know Freddie Green because I speak of him often and love to teach "Freddie Green" chords. Freddie is famous for playing 4 to the bar, meaning a chord on every beat but in his case, a new and different chord on every beat. Not an easy feat! Bucky Pizzarelli would be Freddie's successor. Bucky continued to build upon Green's theories, further enriching the art form well enough to gain owner status. Bucky was the son of a jazz guitar player and he is also the father of one. John Pizzarelli is a monster! It would do you no harm to check these 3 players out and would almost surely inspire you to pick up your guitar!
