Italian Intermezzo is a different kind of outing for jazz and rhythm guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. The song selections come from Italian folk music and the opera, and Ken Peplowski co-leads this sextet with him. For fans of either Pizzarelli or Peplowski, this album will probably still appeal to you nevertheless. The album was marketed as part of a dinner music series, and is supposed to be optimal for playing during an authentic Italian meal
