Born April 6, 1960, one of four sons of legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, John Pizzarelli took up the same instrument as his father and by his late teens they were regularly appearing together. By the 90s Pizzarelli had begun singing regularly while playing guitar.

Not surprisingly, Pizzarelli credits his father with directing his guitar playing into jazz and the result is a combination of great technical skill and thorough understanding of the form. He plays with delicacy on ballads and crisp attack on up-tempo pieces. He solos inventively and is also a sound supportive player when accompanying other soloists. John is also known to sing his solo lines while playing his guitar. His singing broadened his musical horizons and increased his audience. Pizzarelli also composes his own songs, some of which have achieved "standard" status in their own right. John is also a fan of bossa nova and released an album entirely composed of that type of music.
