Bucky was a true master at his craft and brought joy to many. I just learned of his death and that of his wife’s one week later. My sincere condolences to his children and grandchildren
Bucky Pizzarelli displayed not only great command of his guitar but a sense of a bygone era by wearing a suit and tie to an appearance. This is magnificent!
Well definitely ... You joined Ellis Marsalis, Mr. Bucky ... 😭 A big thank you for your music, your great talent, the happiness that you brought me. I adored (I still adore) your gypsy jazz which inspired me so much in my last book "Le fauve". What beef you're going to make up there! Thinking of family and loved ones ...
I had the immense pleasure of seeing Les twice at the Iridium Ballroom. You didn't have to be a fan of his style of music to have a great time. Everyone always left with smiles.
Notice Bucky's right hand: It's so arthritic that he can't open it, but he can still hold a pick with it. Notice Les's right arm: His elbow is set permanently in a curved arc (at his own direction) after an auto accident crushed it, so that he could continue to play guitar. Notice the tune they're playing: A composition by Django Reinhardt, a seminal influence on them both (and countless others), whose legendarily creative solos were played with the two fingers on his left hand which still worked, after that hand was severely burned in a caravan fire. I perceive a Divine Order here.

Bucky was such an easy guy The guys that did sessions with him looked forward to a swingin good time he was one of the most knowledgeable people about Django records.Covid sucks
Just a note, everybody that has died in this area recently, has been written up as dying from the virus, even if you have a gun shot wound in the back of your head. They are trying to pad the numbers. He died from old age. RIP.
Les Paul is my number one musical hero. He knows his way around the fretboard and a crowd. His crowd work is so entertaining to watch. Every video I see if him he is jolly and joking with the crowd. His style of dress fits perfectly with his personality. Before I stop sucking his guitar I must say, if I had the choice to resurrect him and make him immortal... Or solve the world Peace problem, I'm choosing to bring back the picker.
One day Ray Brown took me to a session over at Nola Studio in NYC.It was Bucky's birthday. Ray said You are guitarded why don't you ask some question maybe about Django or about his guitar and give him a a little adulation it would please him. I thought about it I said To him "your are the keeper of the flame and the best rhythm player I ever heard." I dont actually remember what he said but we were all laughing . And now that he is gone from this stupid covid virus My thoughts go to his family. Sure he lived to his nineties And he was a joyful creative cat But his friends and family must miss him and at the same time I hope they are smiling and Reminiscing about the good times..
Saw John(Bucky’s son) play with Ramsey Lewis. Such a great show. John has learned well from the master, his father. Sad to hear of Bucky’s passing. Prayers for the family. Bucky, John and Monte have brought so much joy through their music.
siempre fui fanatico de gibson y les paul una leyenda lastima que por ser muy caras en mi pais nunca pude tener una guitarra gibson les paul pero igual me deleito escuchandolas son guitarras unicas
You like that chord? Classic! Drop A. Two of the best this world has ever heard! Thank You Les for inventing the electric guitar and showing us how to play with Singers!!!!
Ahh isn’t this just FAB~ulous... Bucky was not only a master of jazz guitar comping and soloing...but MAN, the nice warm, full tones from this playing... is just soooo good!
The other guitarist, in the blue shirt, is Lou Pallo. The force behind The Jersey Guitar Mafia. Sadly he passed away on 10/20/2020. Rest in Peace, as Keith Ricard said, to the "man of a million chords".
To Muzaffar Krylov- Great observation my friend, yes, that Is a 7String guitar! Pretty amazing! Thank you for sharing that with everyone. I'm not sure that anyone else noticed it! Lary
Old bucky Make it so easy and natural ❤ Born to play never to old ❤ Genius gentle man Beautiful music Thanks tube My channel of choice ❤ My time machine Street wise tal....
These chords seem very easy to play. Very simple too, but why do they sound so beautiful? I've heard and seen some of the most difficult guitar playing, they just don't sound as good as jazz ballads.
Nicki Parrott is an Amazing bassist and Sings beautifully! She plays incredible solos in between her fantastic vocals. If you haven't heard her do this you are in for a Treat!
Not really a good choice of song if you want to play with others. I know the guy can play, but the first 4 min. or so of the song sounded very disjointed.
Bucky was a true master at his craft and brought joy to many. I just learned of his death and that of his wife’s one week later. My sincere condolences to his children and grandchildren
RIP Bucky. The man was all that Jazz and just a gentleman. Sad sad sad. 😢
In his 90’s...didn’t have too much softer a chance wit Covid-19... I will miss him immensely
Damn. I didnt hear until now. RIP

Paul Simmons
So does his son John Pizzarelli. He must be one of the best dressed musicians, old school.
Bucky's advice to young Aaron Weinstein - "always wear a tie"
No matter where he played or with whom.. it was always the same
Great musician ,great man .you gave us wonderful musical moments .
One of the GREAT guitarists. Thankfully his son carries on the tradition.
Thank you Bucky ,CLASS ,CLASS, CLASS,Understated style and ,empathy.Hope you and Les are giving Django a hell of a jam session.God Bless
R.I.P. Bucky. Your music lives on.
Well definitely ... You joined Ellis Marsalis, Mr. Bucky ... 😭 A big thank you for your music, your great talent, the happiness that you brought me. I adored (I still adore) your gypsy jazz which inspired me so much in my last book "Le fauve".
What beef you're going to make up there!
Thinking of family and loved ones ...
Music , joy , communication , respect ... love each other...what else. MERCI!!!!!!!
PURE CLASS!!!!! Wish we had much more of this kind of music! LOVE!!!!🥰👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Another outstanding video from Chris Lentz..! Thanks Chris, love these priceless video's!
RIP Bucky, you were a legend!
Les was older - born in 1915.
Bucky was born in 1926.
Both lived to be 94 years old.
Les was probably the only guy at the time who could call Bucky "sonny."
Excellent ! Those Legends are still and always amazing....
I had the immense pleasure of seeing Les twice at the Iridium Ballroom. You didn't have to be a fan of his style of music to have a great time. Everyone always left with smiles.
Classic moments with the best guitars in jazz, I am sure my brother Mike is playing jazz guitar with you fellas in heaven, rest peacefully...
I can't stop smiling listening to these amazing legends..
Notice Bucky's right hand:
It's so arthritic that he can't open it, but he can still hold a pick with it.

i play with my right hand entirely closed too but thats just the way i learned to play xd.
I don't see any arthritic problem with Bucky, but Les has lots of trouble with it. Amazing how he can still keep playing.
tuxguys yes I met Les many times and just watching him sign my Les Paul was painful for him but he never complained ❤️
Perceive what ever you like. God didn't do jazz.
It's a good, positive way to hold a pick.

More chords in the 1st 2 bars than in all of rock n roll. RIP Bucky and I hope you 2 are back in tune.
More or less than anything doesn’t matter... all that matters is this shit sounds goooood
Chris Lentz,Wow to everyone of the Les Paul videos.Thanks.
Thank you so much for uploading these important performances.

Can't get lovelier than that!
This is amazing - thanks for the upload! What a sound.
Bucky has class.Look at him dressed in a fly suit...Nice
Then there's Les. Dressed in a normal shirt and pants with suspenders. They're clothes match both of their personalities.
Gentleman!
Bucky… look at the class he exudes. Jazz guitar supreme. Long live his legacy!

You know it’s serious with the suit and tie, Bucky has amazing command of the guitar
Amazing! Two legendary monster guitar players! RIP!! 😊🎼🎸👍😎
dig Bucky's playing behind Tony Mottola on the early sixties album Romantic Guitar. This is outstanding. thanks
Are there even words to describe Bucky's playing, holy crap man. He couldn't hit a bad note if he tried.
Bravo Bucky. Grazie e R.I.P.🙏🕯🙏🕯🙏
So beautiful
Gosh,...... that was just so wonderful.
He will brighten Heaven with his JAZZ
:) 'pure' class . what a treasure to see & hear this .... so pleasant and pure, relaxing after a rave night .
Saw his son play here in Ottawa, they did a jazzy cover of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and stopped at the Oscar Peterson memorial next to the NAC.

What a delight. RIP Bucky

We just lost Bucky to that dang Carona Virus.R.I.P. one of the all time greats as was our Les Paul.🙏
@Christiaan Overgaard ?
wish I had a chance to see him live.
Great guy. Met him and heard him twice in Vancouver. 2011
Bucky can you hear ? Well you have to turn the damn thing on 😂😂😂😂
A true master.
Jim Roveto lespaul.org
don costa & bucky played the dueling guitars on vaughn monroe's "ghost riders in the sky".......a very good version
Absolutely beautiful...
Real music...
Bravo! RIP Bucky!
Old Greats, you know, oh - my God - FANTASTIC
Rest in peace Mr bucky
That was amazing to watch RIP BUCKY
Just found out Bucky had gone. God bless.
Clean tones. Nuff said.

Amazing.

So nice

Les is talking to Bucky and the crowd, yet spends nearly the entire time looking at Ms.Parrott. Not that anyone can blame him....
I dont know what to say other than Thank You!
Rip bucky!
Makes a great change from the dope rockers who used to get up and make fools of them selves on stage with Les P.
Never seen anything but courtesy and respect from the folks who joined Les in these sessions. Different is just different, not necessarily wrong.
Musicianmanship.
HE IS THE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
Masters at play
Rest in peace mate! I am doin it wild for the 3 legends who passed so far?
These old guys show up in a suit with tie and play more music on 8 minutes than some rockers do in a whole concert.
Bucky was the master.
RIP Bucky.
Insane
RIP Bucky
RIP Bucky Pizzarell (COVID victim)
Sad but Happy-Happy-Joy too! Warning: this video contains real magic!
Молодец дедушко!!!
Isn't that Tommy Emmanuel leaving the stage in the first 30 secs or so??
All Thumbs yes... lespaul.org
Who is the bass player?
These chords seem very easy to play. Very simple too, but why do they sound so beautiful? I've heard and seen some of the most difficult guitar playing, they just don't sound as good as jazz ballads.
RIP
who's the gal on the double bass?
augustosantanabrito The great Nicki Parrott
Nicki Parrott is an Amazing bassist and Sings beautifully! She plays incredible solos in between her fantastic vocals. If you haven't heard her do this you are in for a Treat!
Who's the hot upright bass woman? She's great.
Good title for this video would be Bucky P. with Les Paul sitting beside him watching the bass player! No disrespect.
He's watching Bucky, not the bassist
Artists with a capital "A"
I have no clue how to play a 7 string, let alone, play Jazz on a 7 string.
Sounds very jimi hendrix.
Excel·lent
that was so cool...Greetings fellow music lovers...guitar players...appreciados...Nakusp
Les Paul was pretty disrespectful of Bucky with his intro in my opinion.
Not really a good choice of song if you want to play with others. I know the guy can play, but the first 4 min. or so of the song sounded very disjointed.
You didn't get it. You never will
