More informationJOHN PIZZARELLI Presents "Dear Mr. Bennett” at Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society
Date: 2026-09-13T16:30-07:00
Description: Grammy-winning producer, guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli celebrates the centennial of iconic singer Tony Bennett with a pair of heartfelt tributes. Dear Mr. Bennett, released March 3, 2026 via Green Hill Music, features Pizzarelli’s trio with bassist Mike Karn and pianist Isaiah J. Thompson performing timeless songs made famous by Bennett. A 5-song EP is scheduled for release on August 7, the week of Bennett’s 100th birthday. For world-renowned guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli, Bennett was more than simply an influence. Pizzarelli’s late father, the revered guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, was a frequent sideman for the legendary singer, appearing on albums including 1960’s To My Wonderful One and 1969’s I’ve Gotta Be Me. John got his own opportunity to accompany Bennett for a radio broadcast that also featured pianist Ralph Sharon and bassist Jay Leonhart. The admiration was mutual – Bennett could be found in the audience for a number of Pizzarelli’s performances and sketched his likeness on two occasions. The charming artwork that graces the cover of Pizzarelli’s heartfelt new tribute album, Dear Mr. Bennett, was rendered during an engagement at Feinstein’s nightclub. John Pizzarelli – Vocals, Guitar; Isaiah J. Thompson – Piano; Michael Karn – Bass Advance ticketing: Adults $60/$50, Students $23/$12 (25 & under with ID) Get Tickets
