John Pizzarelli My Blue Heaven One-Step

Recorded in 1990 for the prestigious New York label Chesky Records, "My Blue Heaven" was John Pizzarelli's first significant album and heralded the arrival of a great talent and future Grammy winner. Born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1960, the guitarist and singer was joined on the recording of "My Blue Heaven" by a dream cast of veteran jazz stars, including Pizzarelli's guitarist and father Bucky, trumpeter Clark Terry, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Connie Kay.
The virtuoso on the seven-string guitar celebrates a wonderfully swinging selection of timeless jazz standards on "My Blue Heaven" - with highlights such as the spirited reinterpretations of "Candy" (Nat King Cole Trio), "Passion Flower" (Duke Ellington) and "Can't Take You Nowhere" (Dave Frishberg). The immaculately produced album, which represents an important step in Pizzarelli's early musical career and helped him to reach a larger audience, is further enhanced in terms of sound by this new LP release from Chesky Records: For record lovers with particularly high audiophile demands, "My Blue Heaven" has now also been pressed in the sonically superior one-step process, on 180 gram vinyl (33 rpm).
