John Pizzarelli - Double Exposure - [CD]

DOUBLE EXPOSURE, Pizzarellis latest recording on Telarc a division of Concord Music Group focuses on two distinct styles to make a single fine recording. Set for release on May 15, 2012, DOUBLE EXPOSURE is a collection of tunes by some of the great pop songwriters of his own generation that are framed squarely within traditional jazz arrangements. The result is a fascinating and engaging musical hybrid. DOUBLE EXPOSURE draws from a diverse pool of some of the best pop songwriters of the past five decades: Lennon and McCartney, Neil Young, James Taylor, Leiber and Stoller, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell and others. Woven into these memorable compositions are threads of jazz borrowed from figures like Wes Montgomery, Billy Strayhorn, Thad Jones and John Coltrane.
