Stage & Screen Interview
John PizzarelliDuration: 1:41
Acclaimed guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli talks about his new trio album Stage & Screen. “I wanted to capture lighting in a bottle,” says Pizzarelli about recording with pianist Isaiah J. Thompson and bassist Mike Karn for Stage & Screen, which finds inspiration in classic songs from Broadway musicals and Hollywood films. The album showcases the trio’s scintillating chemistry on cleverly chosen repertoire that spans nearly nine decades including pieces by such iconic songwriters and composers as Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein II, Leonard Bernstein, Sammy Cahn, and Jule Styne. Stage & Screen, which also marks the 40th anniversary of Pizzarelli’s recording career, is out April 21, 2023 on Palmetto Records.
