INFORMATION
Eddie Decker: solo guitar (seven string guitar)
Mary Pizzarelli: "What a surprise to be sitting on the porch one Saturday morning with my father—and Eddie comes over to have us listen to his new CD. He told us that he had decided to lay down some tracks for his birthday and he wanted my father to hear it. We were supposed to play golf altogether, but the clouds rolled in and the skies got darker and darker—so we sat on the porch while it was pitch black outside and started listening to this work of art. I was transformed by the music on our little boom box—and, as I listened, I was so moved by each song and amazed that Eddie did each song by ear. Song after song, I heard a Tribute to my father —chord changes and melodies played with such sophistication that you instinctively knew from where they came. It was touching to watch my dad and Eddie, as teacher and pupil ; Eddie wanting some feedback from his teacher. Needless to say, it was a very special moment at our house, and I immediately said to Eddie, “You’ve got to call this ‘Dear Mr. Pizzarelli’ “— because in each song you can hear the virtuosity that was passed along—including the love for just playing beautiful solo-guitar like no other."
Basically, this CD is a Tribute to Bucky Pizzarelli's solo guitar playing. Although none of the arrangements are Bucky's, because they are all Eddie Decker's, they are crafted in the same way Bucky crafts out his guitar solo's. Pizzarelli's virtuosity has indeed passed along to Eddie Decker, including the love for just playing beautiful solo-guitar music.

PRESS REVIEWS
"Hij is weinig meer dan een onritmisch spelende amateur die beginnersfouten maakt als vertragingen niet toepassen als de muziek erom vraagt, maar als de passage lastig speelbaar wordt." Ton ouwehand - Jazzism Herfst 2010
"He is no more than a non-rhythmical playing amateur, he makes beginner mistakes and delays applied not when the music demands it, but when the passage is difficult to play." Ton ouwehand - Jazzism Herfst 2010
''Het gaat in veel gevallen om echte 'klassiekers. De virtuositeit wordt gedoseerd en verstandig ingezet. Wie van het gitraarspel van Bucky Pizzarelli houdt, kan deze plaat met een gerust hart aanschaffen.'' Jo Beckers Docter Jazz Magazine september 2010
''It's often about real classics. The virtuosity is dosed and used wisely. Who likes the guitarplay of Bucky Pizzarelli can buy this album with confidence.'' Jo Beckers Docter Jazz Magazine september 2010
''Edward, aufgenommen mit nur wenig aufgedrehtem Amp und Mike, ist groBter Authentizität verpflichtet, und das reicht bis zu den Geräuschen der Fingerkuppen und den faszinierend langen Schwingungen der tiefsten Saite.'' Alexander Schmitz Jazz-Herbst november 2010
''Edward, taken with little amp turned up and Mike commited the greatest authenticity, and this goes up to the sounds of the fingertips and the vibrations of the fascinating long bottom string.'' Alexander Schmitz Jazz-Herbst november 2010
"Een prachtig album met relaxed gespeeld, puur gitaarspel om stil van te worden of bij weg te dromen. Zoals ik van Challenge Records gewend ben; van hoogstaande kwaliteit. Een aanrader voor de liefhebber van solo jazz gitaar." Music Emotion december 2010
"A beautiful album with relaxing, pure guitarplaying to become silent with or music to dream away with. This is as I'm used of Challenge Records, excellent quality. A musthave for lovers of solo jazz guitar." Music Emotion December 2010
