The great jazz guitarist Bucky Pizarelli passed away Wednesday at the age of 94. Cause of death was the coronavirus. Bucky was one of my long time guitar heros...I loved the way he played 7 string guitar with that low A string, ala George Van Epps who was the father of the 7 string guitar. His son, John, will carry on the 7 string guitar as he is a wonderful guitarist and singer also.
Its sad to me to think that Bucky died from this awful virus.

Bucky is an institution unto himself. we lost Ellis Marsalis on the same day. it's very sad to think of all that they lived through, only to be taken out by this virus in such a short amount of time. it's even worse to think their deaths and many more could have been avoided had we been better prepared and more proactive in our national response to this epidemic.
the jazz world seems to be getting hit particularly hard. it's tragic
