John Pizzarelli's tribute to Nat King Cole features him in a drumless trio with pianist Benny Green and bassist Christian McBride on all but one selection. Pizzarelli is fine as a rhythm guitarist, but since he sings on most of the selections and his voice is merely average, this session (which includes 18 selections, most of which were originally associated with Cole) is of less interest than one might hope. At least Pizzarelli has a cheerful style and does not seem to take himself too seriously; Green has many forceful solos, but the leader's limited vocal abilities keep this recording from being too essential. ~ Scott Yanow

Recorded at Clinton Recording Studios, New York.

Personnel: John Pizzarelli (vocals, guitar); Benny Green, Ray Kennedy (piano); Christian McBride, Martin Pizzarelli (bass); John Guerin (drums).

Producers: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Brooks Arthur, Ikuyoshi Hirakawa.

JazzTimes (6/95, pp.90-91) - "...[John Pizzarelli] both sings and plays the guitar exceptionally well....As a crooner, Pizzarelli is smooth and self-assured....[DEAR MR. COLE is] an album that swings and sways from start to finish."

Dear Mr. Cole
CD $9.75  Audio Samples
In order to fully appreciate a John Pizzarelli listening experience, the following accoutrements are recommended: candles, rose petals, and a bit of bubbly. Because a night of romance is what's to be expected when one of the contemporary jazzman's discs is playing in your living room or boudoir. Pizzarelli's music is renowned for capturing all of the little nuances of love in confections that are light, breezy, and finger-snapping smooth. The singer/guitarist is one of the early 21st century's more notable jazz interpreters of the younger generation, and he has thus far devoted his career to presenting the classics in his own compositions on his albums. On his second Telarc release, Let There Be Love, Pizzarelli pulls back his arrow again and shoots out a 15-song tribute to romance -- from its endearingly awkward beginnings to steadying middle to the enduring golden years. Several numbers ...

Dear Mr. Cole
CD $18.49  Audio Samples
Recorded in November 1988 and February 1990. Includes liner notes by John McDonough. If you like your contemporary jazz crooners smooth and sweet, then likely John Pizzarelli is your main man above today's many post-Sinatra posers. This recording is as solid an effort as he has offered musically, or in terms of his stance and intelligent selection of material. While his guitar playing is subsumed, it is nonetheless precious, and when occasionally paired ...

John Pizzarelli Rare Delight Of You CD  (2002)

Dear Mr. Cole
CD $13.29  4 stars Audio Samples
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio Cd players. John Pizzarelli teams with the George Shearing Quintet to reveal their unique musical chemistry on The Rare Delight of You, a 15-track gem filled with the ambience of such great composers as Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Harry Warren, and the master himself, George Shearing. Pizzarelli, a master of the Great American Songbook, showcases his musical heirlooms -- buoyant, loving vocals and quality guitar skills -- alongside Shearing's authentic and full-spirited piano savvy with brilliant insight and freedom of expression without exceeding the boundaries of the original compositions. The results are tender, expressive, jazz renderings that resound with taste and class. The best-selling guitarist and his wife, Jessica Molaskey, co-wrote "I Predict" with Shearing and also co-wrote the title track, "The Rare Delight of You." The latter, a tender, love ...

When art rock and heavy metal collide, the resulting pile-up can be pre-tty ugly, but every once in a while, they mesh into the sort of dark beauty displayed by Black Elk's eponymous debut. Starting with their geographical location, the band's Oregonian roots greatly explain their affinity with the pre-grunge alternative metal of Tad, early Soundgarden, and of course the Melvins; but these sonic elements would have little consequence without the more eclectic, ...
