The opening concert onLegendary guitarist John "Bucky" Pizarelli will inaugurate the series on July 16 at 8 PM, with his dynamic Trio, featuring a special guest on the jazz violin. With a stellar career which included collaborations with jazz giants like Benny Goodman, Zoot Sims and Staphane Grapelli, Pizzarellli, has worked to preserve pre- World War II classic jazz . A native of Paterson, NJ, Pizzarelli is widely recognized as the master of the seven-string guitar.

The seventh string (tuned to A) allows the artist to play a bass line to his own solos. Pizzarelli began his career at the age of 17, touring with Vaughn Monroe's dance band, and for more than half a century, he has been part of the movement to keep mainstream and traditional jazz alive.
