Free Music Review: What A Joy!
Hit: 5 Stars
When Jazz singing, and Jazz guitar playing is done at the highest level of excellence, such as is displayed in John Pizzarelli's "Dear Mr. Sinatra" CD album, it ranks with all the great music of the world -- including that of the Classical masters. This is one of the few albums, in my extensive collection, that I will cherish and continually play, till the day I die. As a professional, studio and orchestral guitar player, I recognize John's enormous talent. He inspires me to play better. The fact that he is also entertaining, young and good-looking is a bonus, and adds to the reasons for his success. Bravissimo, John!

Dear Mr. Sinatra Poster
With his eternally boyish tenor and cheery romantic outlook, John Pizzarelli is a stylistic world apart from Frank Sinatra, he of the manly baritone and dark sensual undercurrents. But like his Italian-American forebear, he's a consummate swinger, and he knows how to make a lyric his own. Comprised mostly of tunes written for the Chairman, Dear Mr. Sinatra is a musical fan letter without the usual schmaltz or reverence. An actively intelligent singer and guitarist, Pizzarelli reshapes the material to fit his personality, whether quietly enunciating "You Make Me Feel So Young," scatting over a brief guitar solo on "How About You?," or making the emotions sneak up on you on a medley of "I See Your Face Before Me" and "In the Wee Small Hours (of the Morning)." He's equally at home with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra as he is with his working combo, largely because in John Clayton, he has a skilled arranger who is equally open to recasting the songs--dig the jagged rhythms, hesitation effects, and burnished tones on "I've Got You Under My Skin." Even as he asserts his own style, Pizzarelli subtly conveys his affection for Sinatra in his phrasing. The album also boasts an agreeable Frank-like running time of 39 minutes. --Lloyd SachsJazz Music CDs
