Late Night Jazz – Yours My Heart Alone Samstag, 09. November 2019 22.05 – 24.00 SRF 2 Kultur Dass das Herz ein profaner Muskel ist, eine Pumpe mit dem Zweck Blut im Körper zirkulieren zu lassen, ist zwar wissenschaftlich richtig. Allerdings verkennt diese Definition all das, was das Herz auch noch meint: Es ist das Zentrum des Körpers und des Lebens, es reagiert auf jede Regung, sei sie nun körperlich oder seelisch, klopft schneller oder langsamer. Man fasst sich ein Herz oder schüttet es aus, man verschenkt es oder erobert es im Sturm, oder man hat es ganz einfach am rechten Fleck. Zwei Stunden Herz-Schmerz-Lieder zur Samstagnacht.

MIDNIGHT Mccartney
“...Mr. Pizzarelli and Mr. McCartney are vocal soul mates who project an unassuming, intimate conversational bonhomie...” - The New York TImes MIDNIGHT McCARTNEY JOHN PIZZARELLI PAYS TRIBUTE TO SIR PAUL McCARTNEY THE KURLAND AGENCY 617-254-0007 [email protected] www.thekurlandagency.com MIDNIGHT McCARTNEY TRACK LISTING 1. SILLY LOVE SONGS 2. MY LOVE 3. HEART OF THE COUNTRYY 4. COMING UP (FEAT. MICHAEL McDONALD) 5. NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS 6. WARM & BEAUTIFUL 7. HI, HI, HI 8. JUNK 9. MY VALENTINE 10. LET ‘EM IN 11. SOME PEOPLE NEVER KNOW 12. MAYBE I’M AMAZED Concord Records will release Midnight McCartney on September 11, 2015 Pizzarelli’s latest album, Midnight McCartney, has its origins in McCartney’s GRAMMY®-winning 2012 album, Kisses on the Bottom. Pizzarelli played guitar on 10 of the album’s 14 tracks and backed Sir Paul at an iTunes concert at Capitol Records Studios, the GRAMMY® Awards and the Recording Academy’s annual MusiCares Person of the Year Gala. Fifteen months after those gigs, McCartney wrote to Pizzarelli to consider recording some of his lesser-known songs in a jazz style. “It’s a take on songs within a style we’re comfortable with,” Pizzarelli says. “There’s a lot of thought given to them and they’re fun to play and challenging. We’ve always been McCartney fans and I feel that the audience we play for now grew up with Paul McCartney as well. These songs are as familiar as ‘Polka Dots and Moonbeams.’” In addition to being a bandleader and solo performer, John has been a special guest on recordings for major pop names such as James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Kristin Chenoweth, Tom Wopat, Rickie Lee Jones and the Dave Van Ronk, as well as leading jazz artists like Rosemary Clooney, Ruby Braff, Johnny Frigo, Buddy DeFranco, Harry Allen and, of course, Bucky Pizzarelli..

JOHN PIZZARELLI Biography
JOHN PIZZARELLI Biography World-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” The Toronto Star pegged him as “the genial genius of the guitar,” and the Seattle Times saluted him as “a rare entertainer of the old school.” Established as one of the prime contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Pizzarelli has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim and The Beatles. His themed shows, often performed with his wife Jessica Molaskey, suggest there is no limit to Pizzarelli’s imagination or talent. Having concentrated on the music of Paul McCartney, Johnny Mercer and Frank Sinatra over the last two years, Pizzarelli has returned to the bossa nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim with his July 28, 2017 Concord Jazz release Sinatra & Jobim @ 50. With co-vocalist Daniel Jobim, grandson of the legendary Brazilian composer, the two explore songs Sinatra and Jobim recorded in 1967 and 1969 as well as add new songs to the mix flavored with the spirit of the classic Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim album. Pizzarelli’s latest album for Concord is a follow-up to his wildly successful Midnight McCartney, an album The New Yorker said “may be the best collection of McCartney covers ever recorded.” Since its release in 2015, Pizzarelli has toured North America, South America, Asia and Europe performing shows centered on Frank Sinatra’s centennial, the songs of Johnny Mercer and a McCartney program in which his quartet is joined by strings and a horn section.
