Damn. I didnt hear until now. RIP

Bucky was a true master at his craft and brought joy to many. I just learned of his death and that of his wife’s one week later. My sincere condolences to his children and grandchildren

One of the GREAT guitarists. Thankfully his son carries on the tradition.

Great musician ,great man .you gave us wonderful musical moments .

One day Ray Brown took me to a session over at Nola Studio in NYC.It was Bucky's birthday. Ray said You are guitarded why don't you ask some question maybe about Django or about his guitar and give him a a little adulation it would please him. I thought about it I said To him "your are the keeper of the flame and the best rhythm player I ever heard." I dont actually remember what he said but we were all laughing . And now that he is gone from this stupid covid virus My thoughts go to his family. Sure he lived to his nineties And he was a joyful creative cat But his friends and family must miss him and at the same time I hope they are smiling and Reminiscing about the good times..

Les Paul is my number one musical hero. He knows his way around the fretboard and a crowd. His crowd work is so entertaining to watch. Every video I see if him he is jolly and joking with the crowd. His style of dress fits perfectly with his personality. Before I stop sucking his guitar I must say, if I had the choice to resurrect him and make him immortal... Or solve the world Peace problem, I'm choosing to bring back the picker.

R.I.P. Bucky. Your music lives on.

Classic moments with the best guitars in jazz, I am sure my brother Mike is playing jazz guitar with you fellas in heaven, rest peacefully...

Bucky Pizzarelli displayed not only great command of his guitar but a sense of a bygone era by wearing a suit and tie to an appearance. This is magnificent!

Thank you Bucky ,CLASS ,CLASS, CLASS,Understated style and ,empathy.Hope you and Les are giving Django a hell of a jam session.God Bless

I had the immense pleasure of seeing Les twice at the Iridium Ballroom. You didn't have to be a fan of his style of music to have a great time. Everyone always left with smiles.

More chords in the 1st 2 bars than in all of rock n roll. RIP Bucky and I hope you 2 are back in tune.

Notice Bucky's right hand: It's so arthritic that he can't open it, but he can still hold a pick with it. Notice Les's right arm: His elbow is set permanently in a curved arc (at his own direction) after an auto accident crushed it, so that he could continue to play guitar. Notice the tune they're playing: A composition by Django Reinhardt, a seminal influence on them both (and countless others), whose legendarily creative solos were played with the two fingers on his left hand which still worked, after that hand was severely burned in a caravan fire. I perceive a Divine Order here.

Saw John(Bucky’s son) play with Ramsey Lewis. Such a great show. John has learned well from the master, his father. Sad to hear of Bucky’s passing. Prayers for the family. Bucky, John and Monte have brought so much joy through their music.

PURE CLASS!!!!! Wish we had much more of this kind of music! LOVE!!!!🥰👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Music , joy , communication , respect ... love each other...what else. MERCI!!!!!!!

Excellent ! Those Legends are still and always amazing....

Bravo Bucky. Grazie e R.I.P.🙏🕯🙏🕯🙏

I can't stop smiling listening to these amazing legends..

Amazing! Two legendary monster guitar players! RIP!! 😊🎼🎸👍😎

Can't get lovelier than that!

Bucky and Les take us to church.

The other guitarist, in the blue shirt, is Lou Pallo. The force behind The Jersey Guitar Mafia. Sadly he passed away on 10/20/2020. Rest in Peace, as Keith Ricard said, to the "man of a million chords".

You like that chord? Classic! Drop A. Two of the best this world has ever heard! Thank You Les for inventing the electric guitar and showing us how to play with Singers!!!!

What a delight. RIP Bucky

Ahh isn’t this just FAB~ulous... Bucky was not only a master of jazz guitar comping and soloing...but MAN, the nice warm, full tones from this playing... is just soooo good!

Old bucky Make it so easy and natural ❤ Born to play never to old ❤ Genius gentle man Beautiful music Thanks tube My channel of choice ❤ My time machine Street wise tal....

Les is talking to Bucky and the crowd, yet spends nearly the entire time looking at Ms.Parrott. Not that anyone can blame him....

don costa & bucky played the dueling guitars on vaughn monroe's "ghost riders in the sky".......a very good version

Just found out Bucky had gone. God bless.

These chords seem very easy to play. Very simple too, but why do they sound so beautiful? I've heard and seen some of the most difficult guitar playing, they just don't sound as good as jazz ballads.

Good title for this video would be Bucky P. with Les Paul sitting beside him watching the bass player! No disrespect.

I have no clue how to play a 7 string, let alone, play Jazz on a 7 string.

Les Paul was pretty disrespectful of Bucky with his intro in my opinion.

Not really a good choice of song if you want to play with others. I know the guy can play, but the first 4 min. or so of the song sounded very disjointed.
