  • Description

    On 'Three for All' Bucky Pizzarelli leads a guitar trio, which also includes his son John and Ed Laub. Without sacrificing his own voice, Bucky lovingly honours his forebears and contemporaries. With the exception of the title track, all of these songs are standards - a description that fails to capture the vitality of these performances.

    It's especially gratifying to hear a jazz album that sounds like an album - a cohesive succession of performances - thoughtfully crafted, but swinging like crazy, as you'll discover. The selections are centred largely at the peak of the American Popular Songbook. They include Broadway's "All the Things You Are", from a 1939 Jerome Kern flop, and "Body and Soul", from a 1930 hit. Bucky sails gloriously through Johnny Green's melody before turning it over to John, with the last word going to his father - all the while with smart, sensitive support from Ed. The roles are reversed on "Avalon", a popular song introduced by Al Jolson in 1920.

    Personnel: Bucky Pizzarelli, John Pizzarelli, Ed Laub (guitar)
