John Pizzarelli - My Blue Heaven

John Pizzarelli — My Blue Heaven

180-gram limited edition one-step plating vinyl LP

Recorded in 1990 for the noted New York audiophile label Chesky Records, My Blue Heaven was John Pizzarelli's first significant album release, heralding the arrival of a major talent and future Grammy-winning star. Supported by a dream team lineup of veteran jazz stars — including Pizzarelli's guitar-playing father, Bucky, together with trumpeter Clark Terry, bass supremo Milt Hinton, and drummer extraordinaire Connie Kay — the New Jersey-born singer and virtuoso of the seven-string guitar serves up a swinging cache of evergreen jazz standards.

With the album's highlights ranging from spirited revamps of the Nat King Cole Trio's "Candy," Duke Ellington's "Passion Flower" and Dave Frishberg's "Can't Take You Nowhere," the impeccably recorded My Blue Heaven represented a significant step in Pizzarelli's early musical journey, helping to introduce him to a wider audience.

This album is reissued using one-step plating limited edition 180-gram LP.
