Details:
Local guitarist Jack Pezanelli has just released a magical little surprise. It is a soulful and personal collection of songs dedicated to family, friends and mentors. Although he is known for his impressive jazz chops-enlisted by the likes of Richie Cole, Maynard Ferguson and Shirley Horn-here Pez offers an all-solo guitar program that shows his extensive reach as both a player and a listener. His reharmonization of Willie Nelson's "You Were Always on My Mind," which he dedicates to Ry Cooder is a startling choice and a stunning rendition. From "Norwegian Wood" for fellow guitarist and friend Larry Coryell to "Both Sides Now" for former bandleader Jimmy Giuffre, with "Songs and Dedications" Pezanelli presents his best recording and most artistic statement to date.
