Recorded in 1990 for the noted New York audiophile label Chesky Records, My Blue Heaven was John Pizzarelli's first significant album release, heralding the arrival of a major talent and future Grammy�-winning star.

With the album's highlights ranging from spirited revamps of the Nat King Cole Trio's 'Candy,' Duke Ellington's 'Passion Flower' and Dave Frishberg's 'Can't Take You Nowhere,' the impeccably recorded My Blue Heaven represented a significant step in Pizzarelli's early musical journey, helping to introduce him to a wider audience. The album is reissued on SACD Hybrid Stereo and will be released on 23rd May 2025.
