Buckskin , the name of the CD, was the childhood nickname of Bucky Pizzarelli, then 91, one of the greatest legends and dean of jazz, specialized in the American 7-string guitar and owner of a unique style in the instrument school, coming from George Van Eps, and the jazz swing of the 6-string guitar by Freddy Green and Charlie Christian. Bucky accompanied Benny Goodman, Julie London, Frank Sinatra to Paul McCartney, also making theatrical performances of Stephen Sondheim's shows. On television he played at Johnny Carson and Skitch Henderson.He recorded as a studio musician many hits from the 60's pop and jazz records with guitarists George Barnes, Tal Farlow and Wes Montgomery, among others, before starting a prolific phonographic partnership with saxophonist Zoot Sims.
Produced by bassist Martin Pizzarelli and co-produced by Brazilian guitarist Ricardo Baldacci (who also participates in playing and singing), the album is a tribute and a celebration of Bucky's music and the joy of playing, around whom everyone orbits in these records and always .The swing repertoire band is based on the drums of Tony Tedesco, a constant figure in the films of Woody Allen (as well as Bucky), the acoustic bass of producer Martin and the piano of Larry Fuller, with the participation of the virtuoso of the clarinet and saxophonist Ken Peplowski. Manu shares the vocals of most tracks with Ed Laub, who regularly performs in duo with Bucky on the 7-string guitar and is one of the most expressive voices today, reminiscent of Arthur Prysock, in addition to being the author of the seminal CDSoft Guitar , tribute to a great connoisseur and lover of Brazilian music, Kenny Rankin.
Martin and Bucky (who recorded in Tom Brasil's Terra Brasilis ) read Tom Jobim's bossa-jazz ( Wave , Estrada Branca ), with Duduka da Fonseca's drums, Marc Sganga's nylon guitar and the participation of a of the greatest Brazilian singers, Maucha Adnet, who was part of the vocal ensemble Céu da Boca and Banda Nova by Tom Jobim, along with Danilo Caymmi, Manu's most frequent partner. In the instrumental repertoire, plus a solo guitar medley by Bucky ( Easy to Remember and This Nearly Was Mine, both by Richard Rodgers), a pearl from Bucky, Take Ten , soloed by Ken Peplowski in the fashion of him and Zoot Simms, and accompanied by Manu's vocalise, in addition to Manu's own guitar in his Um Abraço nos Pizza , dedicated to the Pizarellis (originally recorded on the CD Mané Mandou, with a brass arrangement by Lincoln Olivetti). In Canto Casual , John Pizzarelli's album commemorating the 50th anniversary of Sinatra and Tom's LP, John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey took advantage of Manu's verses in an authorial song, hence the opportunity for the tribute
In the American repertoire, frequent numbers of the duo Bucky - Ed Laub ( Bennies / Pennies From Heaven , Love Walked In ), less recorded songs (Caroline , by Randy Newman, Fishing Pole , in a rare version with the lyrics, in addition to the famous whistle on American TV) and two pearls by the brilliant Brian Gari ( Yvette and Slow Moving Sam ). Highlight for the work of the sound engineer Bill Moss, who gives linearity and spontaneity to the repertoire, of a team and comprehensive and ambitious musical style of the project, making the hearing a ride for the ears and hearts. http://manulafer.com.br/discografia/solo/buckskin-pt/
