Bucky Pizzarelli and his son, John (famous jazz guitarists) came out with two weird (in that world) albums.

First time I heard about them was when Paul Franklin was interviewing Tommy White. Tommy White is playing (amazing) steel, and Monty Alexander is playing piano (another hero of mine). Like a jazz record, the solos are really long, and sometimes there are two rides in a song.

The first album is called Diggin Up Bones. The second is called Back in the Saddle again. Monty plays more on back in the saddle.

Here’s a playlist containing both records.

I love the long steel ride on this one starting at 0:20, and again(!) at 3:30
