In addition to being a band leader and solo performer\, Pizzarelli has been a special guest on recordi ngs for major pop names such as Natalie Cole\, Kristin Chenoweth\, Tom Wop at\, Rickie Lee Jones\, and Dave Van Ronk\, as well as leading jazz artist s such as Rosemary Clooney\, Ruby Braff\, Johnny Frigo\, Buddy DeFranco\, Harry Allen\, and\, of course\, his father Bucky Pizzarelli. \nFor Pizzare lli\, Tony Bennett was more than simply an influence. The admiration was m utual – Bennett could be found in the audience for a number of Pizzarell i’s performances\, and sketched his likeness on two occasions. The charm ing artwork that graces the cover of Pizzarelli’s heartfelt new tribute album\, Dear Mr. Bennett\, was rendered during an engagement at Feinstein ’s nightclub at New York’s Loews Regency hotel. Dear Mr. Bennett\, rel eased in March 2026\, is on the one hand a loving farewell to a profoundly influential musician who meant so much to so many. At the same time\, it ’s a spirited celebration\, arriving just in time for Bennett’s landma rk August 3rd centennial. A five-song EP will follow on August 7th to coin cide with the occasion.
