John Pizzarelli Presents "Dear Mr. Bennett”

the vibe

John Pizzarelli, a world-renowned guitarist and vocalist, presents a jazz tribute to Tony Bennett at Yoshi's Oakland. The performance features Pizzarelli's trio with bassist Mike Karn and pianist Isa performing songs from Bennett's seven-decade career rendered with swing, soulful balladry, and warmth. This event celebrates Bennett's legacy following his death in July 2023 and coincides with Pizzarelli's upcoming tribute album "Dear Mr. Bennett," which draws on Pizzarelli's personal connection to Bennett through his late father Bucky Pizzarelli, who frequently accompanied Bennett as a sideman.
