He devoted two acclaimed albums to Nat King Cole music, ‘Dear Mr. Cole’ in 1994 and ‘P.S. Mr. Cole’, recorded and released five years later.

In 1993, he was honored to open for Frank Sinatra’s international tour and then joined in the celebration for his 80th birthday at Carnegie Hall, bringing down the house singing “I Don’t Know Why I Love You Like I Do” with his father accompanying him.

The collection features John Clayton’s clever reworking of standards such as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “You Make Me Feel So Young,” as well as songs written for Sinatra, “Ring-A-Ding-Ding!,” “Nice and Easy” and “The Last Dance.” The NEW YORK TIMES praised the recording for “exploding with enthusiasm and excitement.”
𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧'𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐘® 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 ‘𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭’ 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦, celebrates the music of composer Richard Rodgers and includes swinging Rodgers & Hart standards like “The Lady Is a Tramp,” “Mountain Greenery” and “Johnny One Note” and theater songs from South Pacific and The King and I. The singer-guitarist’s first-ever Duke Ellington - Verve Records recording, ‘Rockin’ in Rhythm’, was released in February 2010. For the dozen tracks, Pizzarelli took the tack of Ellington, noticeably displaying the strengths of the musicians in the band. Pizzarelli received the 2009 Ella Fitzgerald Award from the Montreal International Jazz Festival, joining a select group of past winners including Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Etta James, Diana Krall, and Harry Connick Jr.

The GUARDIAN, UK was among the many publications to praise the album: “The arrangements are sharp and witty, the singing deceptively easygoing, and the guitar playing just terrific. It’s a delight.”

Pizzarelli played guitar on 10 of the album’s 14 tracks and backed Sir Paul at an iTunes concert at Capitol Records Studios, the GRAMMY® Awards and the Recording Academy’s annual MusiCares Person of the Year Gala. Fifteen months after those gigs, Paul McCartney wrote to Pizzarelli to consider recording some of his lesser-known songs in a jazz style. The album hit a new chart high for John, reaching #4 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums Chart.
