John Pizzarelli Quotes

�We call it swing jazz, ... Think Nat King Cole, Benny Goodman-style stuff. I grew up with those people around me. So it's natural that that is what I like doing.�
John Pizzarelli 

�Nat King Cole was the place where I started, ... The music his trio did is what moved me to do that same sort of thing. The very first time I heard (Cole), I learned all those songs -- 'Straighten Up and Fly Right,' 'Route 66,' 'Paper Moon.'�
