View this post on Instagram RIP #BuckyPizzarelli at age 94.
Please know you were surrounded with love.
Our thoughts are with your son #JohnPizzarelli and your loved ones…like us.
You were always kind and gracious and a helluva guitarist.
He was world-renowned for his smooth, fluid, tasteful playing.
He performed at the #WhiteHouse for presidents #Reagan and #Clinton, and in #JohnnyCarson’s “#TonightShow†band, and worked with #FrankSinatra, #LesPaul, #BennyGoodman, #MilesDavis, #SarahVaughan, #TonyBennett, #DizzyGillespie, #NatKingCole and countless others.
As a session musician, he played on hits ranging from #RayCharles’ “Georgia on My Mind†to #BryanHyland’s “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,†and he also performed on #PaulMcCartney’s 2012 standards album, Kisses on the Bottom.
