In May 2008 Bucky Pizzarelli came to Toronto to play at the Heliconian Club. After the gig he kindly agreed to give me a lesson the following morning at his hotel. Here's the first 15 minutes or so.

The resemblance is remarkable!

The thing is I used to think that was what jazz was even in the years before iReal; a bunch of chords to be used to improvise music. Chord symbols have that effect almost inevitably I think.

Hi,
Thanks for a nice coment.
Do not worry...do not afraid me at jam...;-)
I try to play melodicaly with good feel...this is very important for me.
Most important thing for jazz musicians is...
I have the Gypsy Jazz Multiac. This differs slightly in that it comes with steel strings...silver plated copper wound Gypsy jazz strings. It's super versatile with that Seymour Duncan lipstick...
It's up to you...but I would refret with something that feels good to me. Not what is historically correct. Makes for a more enjoyable playing experience. I am partial to medium jumbo frets.
