5.0 out of 5 stars So loveable, so liveable, it's beauty is just unforgivable, November 28, 2000

You'd think eventually they'd run out of ideas, but not John Pizzarelli Trio. The album features four originals, two with his wife, Jessica Molasksy (with whom he penned A Lifetime or Two and Wouldn't Trade You on Kisses in the Rain), as well as one solo and one with the inexhaustable pianoman, Ray Kennedy. For those familiar with the trio- a heads up about the percussion. It doesnt interfere with the music. It's well done and (I'm not making this up) Tony Tedesco played brushes on a phonebook. I imagine it's hard to be overpowering while playing the Tri-Borough Area yellow pages anyway. Enjoy the trio's latest with guests old friend Harry Allen on saxophone; Dominic Cortese on accordian; Jesse Levy on cello; Ken Pelowski on clarinet; and the unstoppable Bucky Pizzarelli on his own seven string. There are no better jazzmen out there-don't miss their latest achievement.

5.0 out of 5 stars LET THERE BE ROMANCE!, October 3, 2001

From, "These Foolish Things" to "I Don't Know Why I Love You Like I Do", it's clear that John Pizzarelli wanted listeners to experience the spontaniety of "being in love". He succeeds. Along with pianist Ray Kennedy, bassist Martin Pizzarelli, percussionist Tony Tedesco, saxophonists Harry Allen and Ken Peplowski, Accordionist Dominic Cortese, cellist Jesse Levy and his father guitarist, Bucky Pizzarelli, he elicits remembrances of that first touch, first kiss, the wedding day, the rainy afternoon, or everyday basking in the wonder of love. A delightful album!

As always Pizzarelli and his trio offer great listening. Their gifted musical honesty is always a pleasure. Many judge Pizzarelli's voice as limited but his engaging prformance along with Kennedy's piano playing is anyting but limited. Worth the listen time and again because their music is always an uplifting and involving experience. Their guests on this recording just make the whole package all the more irresistable. That they all are having a good time and enjoy musical making to the hilt is their greatet contribuation to what they do so well. In their hands the commonplace becomes extraordinary. With their gentle side they are real, and combined with their jaunty style they have few equals. The only thing better would be to see and hear them in the Oak Room at the Algonquin.
