Notes

- BIO - Johnny Guarnieri Real Name: Johnny Albert Guarnieri Profile: Legendary American jazz and ragtime / stride pianist.

Born : March 23, 1917 in New York City, New York.
Died : January 07, 1985 in Livingston, New Jersey.

 Guarnieri joined the George Hall orchestra in 1937.[1] He is perhaps best known for his big band stints with Benny Goodman in 1939 and with Artie Shaw in 1940. Guarnieri is also noted for his embellishment and juxtaposition of jazz with classical piano, such as Scarlatti and Beethoven.

Throughout the 1940s Guarnieri was a busy sideman, recording with artists such as Charlie Christian, Cozy Cole, Ike Quebec, Charlie Kennedy, Hank D'Amico and Ben Webster. He also led his own group called the "Johnny Guarnieri Swing Men" and recorded with them on the Savoy label, a group that included Lester Young, Hank D'Amico, Billy Butterfield and Cozy Cole. He also led a trio in the 1940s composed of himself, Slam Stewart and Sammy Weiss, recording again for Savoy. During the 1940s he also recorded for the short-lived Majestic label, playing solo piano and with his trio.

In the 1940s he also played harpsichord in the Gramercy Five, a small band led by Artie Shaw; his solos were the first recorded on that instrument in jazz. - wikipedia
