Kisses in the Rain

不同于其它爵士樂人的大氣晚成,John Pizzarelli自20歲開始跟他老豆灌唱片23歲就有自己的個人專輯,以這幾年成長近似呆滯的爵士樂界來說,算是一個特例了。從小就受到他父親Butch Pizzarelli跟Nat King Cole的影響，所以在演奏上承襲的他父親的Hardbop,Swing調性,以傳統的經典曲目與大樂團起家，在歌唱上面著重于他獨特的舞臺魅力,聲調上比較貼近帶點現代的Swing風格。或許有人會覺得這樣聽起來很脂粉,一點都不像是傳統的爵士男歌手。

93年開始John Pizzarelli帶著Double Bass手他的哥哥Martin Pizzarelli以及鼓手Ray Kennedy,組成了知名的John Pizzarelli Trio開始灌錄唱片。以Kisses in the Rain以及Live in the Birdland最為知名。其實中間還有他紀念Jobim的Bossa Nova,以及與George Shearing五重奏的合作，加上之前唱Nat King Cole的作品,基本上可以看出他是非常重視傳統的樂手，這也是跟其他人比較不一樣的地方。不得不說，他看似隨意韻味無窮的唱腔和技藝精湛的吉他彈奏，深深的吸引了我們，一位有品味的紳士，就該這樣！
