- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
John Pizzarelli salutes composer Richard Rodgers with this songbook including
a dozen of his works. The vocalist/guitarist is accompanied by his trio, with
Larry Fuller replacing Ray Kennedy, bassist Martin Pizzarelli, and drummer
Tony Tedesco. Pizzarelli adds a personal touch to "I Like to Recognize the
Tune" by altering Lorenz Hart's lyrics a bit, while also scatting up a storm
in unison with his guitar. Bucky Pizzarelli is an added guest and soloist for
"It's Easy to Remember," an intimate duet with the vocalist playing rhythm.
Cesar Camargo Mariano takes over at the piano for the breezy bossa nova
setting of "Happy Talk." Arranger Don Sebesky wrote the charts for the six
tracks and a quartet of brass and reeds, highlighted by the snappy scoring of
"The Lady Is a Tramp," recalling Pizzarelli's previous Telarc salute to Frank
Sinatra (Dear Mr. Sinatra, in which he trades fours scatting with each of the
horns). This release is a little short in the CD era, clocking in at just
over 43 minutes, but there's never a dull moment.
