Renowned jazz singer and guitarist John Pizzarelli brings his trio to Mountain Stage in this week’s encore episode.
Our Song of the Week is a playful number called “Save the Bones for Henry Jones,” with Mike Karn on bass, Konrad Paszkuozki on piano, and John Pizzarelli on guitar and vocals.
The song appears on Pizzarelli’s latest, “For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole.” Hear the Trio’s entire performance, plus sets from Catherine Russell, Kate Vargas, The Bob Thompson Unit and Devotchka (below), on this week’s episode of Mountain Stage.
