This is a super fun interview with a real master. Long and in depth. Fascinating to hear how he learned to play jazz. Thanks for posting. John Pizarelli is a true inspiration.

Yeh! Supported his R&R habit by playing jazz. You might enjoy our new podcast, “Jazz Backstory,” based on excerpts from these interviews. It is available on major podcast providers. Excerpts from both John and Bucky are included. Monk
