With this beautifully recorded live recording, Swing Live, the listener is transported into the intimate atmosphere of a Manhattan Jazz Club. With all the accompanying crowd interaction, come join us for an exciting re-creation of this epic, live Jazz performance!

The set features an ensemble of accomplished jazz veterans, including Bernard Purdie on drums, Peter Appleyard on vibes, Allen Vache on clarinet, Michael Moore on bass and Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar. Together, they pay homage to the swingin' sounds of the 1940's by performing standards from the likes of Lester Young, Johnny Mercer and Juan Tizol.
• Bucky's masterful rhythm playing on "Lester Leaps In" and "Dinah" is stunningly complimented by colorful, melodic solos on clarinet and vibes creating a sound much like the swingin' tunes of the Benny Gooman days.

• Bucky Pizzarelli's Swing Live was recorded live at the Makor Club in New Yourk City with Chesky's state-of-the-art audiophile technology to put the listener in the best seat in the house.

• Swing Live marks Bucky's first record with Chesky since his collaboration with Johnny Frigo and son, John Pizzarelli in 1988, Live From Studio A (JD1).
