John Paul Pizzarelli, Jr. (born April 6, 1960) is an American jazz guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and bandleader. He has had a lengthy career as a recording artist, performing for a variety of labels that include Telarc Records, RCA Records and Chesky Records, among others. He has recorded twenty-three albums of his own, as well as other joint recordings with his father, Bucky Pizzarelli. Additionally, he has appeared on more than forty albums of other recording artists, including those of James Taylor, Rosemary Clooney and his wife, Jessica Molaskey.

Biography[link]

Career[link]

Despite his young age, Pizzarelli has recorded nearly 40 albums of music, either as the leader or in tandem with other performers. Among others, Pizzarelli has recorded with such luminaries as George Shearing, Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Frigo and Buddy DeFranco, as well as the Boston Pops Orchestra. Many if not most of his albums have received good to excellent reviews and are very popular sellers. Additionally, he has been a guest performer on numerous records throughout his career, for a total of over 140 albums.^[1]

Pizzarelli often performs with his own jazz quartet, composed of his brother Martin Pizzarelli on double-bass, drummer Tony Tedesco and Larry Fuller on piano. He is also sometimes compared to another jazz singer, Harry Connick, Jr., for his performances of jazz standards and overall popularity. John has appeared in commercials for Foxwoods Casino, and he and his wife are also hosts of their own jazz radio program (Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli).

Particularly lauded for his swinging interpretations of jazz standards, Pizzarelli also composes his own songs, some of which have achieved a sort of modern "standard" status in their own right. He is also a fan of bossa nova and released an album entirely composed of that type of music.

Perhaps his most famous and highly-regarded album, though, is Dear Mr. Cole, an album featuring Pizzarelli's versions of some of Nat "King" Cole's most famous songs. Interestingly, the John Pizzarelli Trio only appears together on track one of the album, Style is Back in Style. The rest of the album features Pizzarelli performing with Christian McBride on bass and Benny Green on piano.

Pizzarelli is also known for his winning personality, and his great rapport with audiences during his live performances has gone a long way to garnering him cachet with the jazz public. He is also known to sing his solo lines while playing his guitar. His major vocal influences include Nat Cole and New Jersey jazz singer/accordionist Joe Mooney, known for his relaxed singing style.

Pizzarelli also sings the theme for Foxwoods Casino, "The Wonder of It All."

Pizzarelli and his wife, singer Jessica Molaskey co-host the nationally syndicated weekly radio program "Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli."

He appeared on the March 31, 2007 episode of the NPR weekly radio news quiz, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", on the "Not My Job" segment.

Personal life[link]

Pizzarelli, an Italian American, was born in Paterson, New Jersey, the son of legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. During childhood, Pizzarelli was a counselor at the now defunct Knights Day Camp. He grew up in Bergen County, New Jersey and attended Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey, New Jersey, an all-boys Roman Catholic High School.^[2] He frequently expresses pride about being from New Jersey; a fan favorite at his live shows is the Cosgriff-Bernardi number I Like Jersey Best, a largely humorous tribute to the Garden State.

Pizzarelli is a huge Boston Red Sox fan, and has played baseball (in one capacity or another) all his life. In high school he split his time between studying music and playing sports. As he once said in an interview: "I wasn't making any of the sports teams and I was a big sports fanatic. That's when I realized there was a reason why I was going to band practice." In April, 2007 he performed at the BLOHARDS luncheon at The Yale Club of New York City, the BLOHARDS being Red Sox Nation chapter in New York.^[3]

He married singer Jessica Molaskey in 1998, and the couple have a daughter, Madeleine Elizabeth, who attends Anderson. Pizzarelli also has a son, John Paul Pizzarelli, who is now attending college. They now live in New York City.

Ricardo Alexandre Martins Soares Pereira, OIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁiˈkaɾdu]; born 11 February 1976), simply Ricardo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Vitória de Setúbal as a goalkeeper.

He spent most of his career with Boavista and Sporting, helping the former to its only Primeira Liga title, and appearing with the latter in more than 150 official games, winning one Portuguese Cup; in his 30s he moved abroad, representing mainly Real Betis.

Ricardo won nearly 80 caps with Portugal, appearing with the nation at two World Cups and as many European Championships, notably reaching the final at Euro 2004.

Club career[link]

Portugal[link]

Born in Montijo, Setúbal, Ricardo started his career at hometown club Clube Desportivo do Montijo, signing with Boavista F.C. in 1994. After battling during several seasons for first-choice status with Cameroonian William Andem, he eventually became first-choice, and appeared in 28 matches in the Chequereds 2000–01 league championship title, the club history's only.

As a goalkeeper, Ricardo was one of the team's most influential players in the opposition side's 2002–03 UEFA Cup campaign, in a run that would only stop in the competition's semi-finals.^[1]

He then went on to play for Sporting Clube de Portugal, for a fee of €7 million and 20% from the value of any future transfer;^[2] an undisputed starter from the get-go, he backstopped the team to the final of the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, a 1–3 home loss against PFC CSKA Moscow (the match was played at the Alvalade XXI Stadium).

Betis[link]

On 9 July 2007, Ricardo was linked with a transfer to La Liga side Real Betis. Two days later, he signed a four-year contract with the club.^[3] His league debut took place against Recreativo de Huelva on 26 August, a 1–1 away draw. Having started the league campaign as first-choice, he eventually lost the position to former Betis trainee Casto, but would regain his status for two of the last three matches, as the side from Andalusia avoided relegation.

In 2008–09, as Betis manager Francisco Chaparro, who arrived midway through the previous season, started on the bench, Ricardo lost the battle for first-choice, having to settle with Copa del Rey matches, a situation which would revert midway through the season, with Betis eventually relegated; the following season, he backed-up Iñaki Goitia, playing no matches in an eventual fourth place in the league (no promotion).

Ricardo was not given any jersey number for the 2010–11 season, being limited to training with the Pepe Mel-led squad, and later released from his contract in January 2011 - it was due to expire in June of that year.

Leicester City / Later years[link]

Ricardo started training with Football League Championship club Leicester City,^[4] and joined the team on 31 January 2011, signing until the end of the season,^[5] and citing manager Sven-Göran Eriksson as his motivation for joining the club.^[6] He made his official debut on 12 February, in a 2–0 win over Derby County at Pride Park Stadium,^[7] altogether making eight league appearances.^[8]

On 21 May 2011, Leicester confirmed it would not renew Ricardo's contract, due to expire on 30 June.^[9] In mid-August, he signed for Vitória de Setúbal, returning to his country after four years.

International career[link]

Ricardo made his international debut in 2001 against the Republic of Ireland, taking the place of Vítor Baía, who was recovering from a serious knee injury. However, he would be his backup in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Euro 2004[link]

In the quarterfinals of UEFA Euro 2004 against England, Ricardo was one of Portugal's heroes in their win on penalties. With a 5–5 tie, he first saved the shot of Darius Vassell, after taking his gloves off, and then scored the deciding penalty to send Portugal to the semi-finals.^[10]

Nevertheless, Ricardo did not manage to help his team avoid the loss to Greece in the final match. Ricardo misjudged a corner when coming for the ball, only for Angelos Charisteas to head the only goal of the game, in a huge upset in final defeat.

2006 World Cup[link]

In the 2006 FIFA World Cup group stage, Ricardo kept two clean sheets and was only beaten once, by Mexico's Francisco Fonseca, as Portugal won all three matches. The national side once again knocked out England in the quarter-finals of a major tournament on penalties, as he saved from Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, in a 3–1 shootout win after a 0–0 draw with extra time, becoming the first keeper to save three times in a World Cup shootout. Carragher did beat Ricardo but since his kick was made before the referee blew the whistle, the Englishman had to retry the spot kick which was then saved.^[11]

In the third-place match against hosts Germany, Ricardo allowed three goals, two by Bastian Schweinsteiger, and an own goal by Portugal's Petit, which also resulted from Schweinsteiger's shot.^[12] He was named to the tournament All-Star team, as one of the three best goalkeepers.

Euro 2008[link]

Despite some criticism, Ricardo remained the main goalkeeper for Portugal in Euro 2008. Portugal struggled initially but did qualify for the quarter-finals, and he played all of the side's matches, as Portugal was eliminated by Germany 3–2 in the quarter-finals, where he misjudged in two box exits, allowing two headers.^[13] As he lost his position at Betis, Ricardo would not be called for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, with Benfica's Quim being made the starter (although he would be also later replaced by Eduardo).
