Biography by Mark Deming
Jack Jezzro is a musician and producer who has enjoyed a long and successful career as a studio musician, accompanying a wide variety of major artists on their recordings, as well as crafting his own albums in which he shows off his talent and versatility as a guitarist.
Jezzro was born in Rivesville, West Virginia on December 2, 1957. He had a keen interest in music from an early age, starting to play the piano when he was just three. He taught himself to play guitar from listening to records by Chet Atkins, and in his teens, he learned to break down the individual parts from songs he loved by Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, and the Doobie Brothers. After high school, Jezzro studied at West Virginia University; their music school didn't have a program for the guitar, but Jezzro could also play the bass, and his skills on the instrument led to him to a membership in the Charleston Symphony Orchestra while still attending WVU. Jezzro went on to attend the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, where he was mentored by noted bassist James VanDemark. Just as he did at WVU, Jezzro soon joined the local symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, as a bassist, while also honing his chops as a jazz guitarist. In 1981, he relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where he became the bassist with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, a position he held for ten years. In the mid-'80s, he made his way into the prestigious world of session work when he became part of the Nashville String Machine, a string section for hire that regularly appeared on recordings by some of the major stars of country and pop music, from Garth Brooks and Faith Hill to Bruce Springsteen and Matchbox 20. In 1988, Jezzro stepped out as a solo artist with the release of his first album as a headliner, Step on It, which was released in Japan by Pony Canyon Records. (A revised edition of the disc was released in the United States as A Day's Journey.) Over the next 30 years, Jezzro would release a steady stream of jazz, country, pop, Latin, and inspirational albums (most through the Green Hill label) that focused on his tasteful but expert guitar work and his interplay with other musicians. Jezzro also continued to work steadily as a session player and a producer, overseeing his own sessions as well as those of other Green Hill artists. His work as an artist and producer has earned him one Grammy nomination and seven Dove Award nominations to date. The prolific bassist has played on or produced over 300 albums, and in 2017 alone, he produced By Request: Most Requested Songs for jazz pianist Beegie Adair, released his own album Sinatra on Guitar, and brought out a sequel to his 2010 album Christmas Jazz titled Christmas Jazz 2.

Biografía de Mark Deming
Jack Jezzro es un músico y productor que ha disfrutado de una larga y exitosa carrera como músico de estudio, acompañando a una amplia variedad de grandes artistas en sus grabaciones, así como elaborando sus propios álbumes en los que muestra su talento y versatilidad como guitarrista.
Jezzro nació en Rivesville, Virginia Occidental, el 2 de diciembre de 1957. Tuvo un gran interés en la música desde muy joven, empezando a tocar el piano cuando tenía sólo tres años. Aprendió a tocar la guitarra escuchando discos de Chet Atkins, y en su adolescencia aprendió a desglosar las partes individuales de las canciones que le gustaban de Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor y los Doobie Brothers. Después del instituto, Jezzro estudió en la Universidad de Virginia Occidental; su escuela de música no tenía un programa para la guitarra, pero Jezzro también podía tocar el bajo, y sus habilidades en el instrumento le llevaron a ser miembro de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Charleston mientras aún asistía a la WVU. Jezzro asistió a la Escuela de Música Eastman en Rochester, Nueva York, donde fue asesorado por el célebre bajista James VanDemark. Al igual que en la WVU, Jezzro pronto se unió a la sinfonía local, la Orquesta Filarmónica de Rochester, como bajista, mientras que también perfeccionaba sus habilidades como guitarrista de jazz. En 1981, se trasladó a Nashville, Tennessee, donde se convirtió en el bajista de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Nashville, un puesto que ocupó durante diez años. A mediados de los 80, se abrió camino en el prestigioso mundo de las sesiones de trabajo cuando pasó a formar parte de la Nashville String Machine, una sección de cuerdas de alquiler que apareció regularmente en grabaciones de algunas de las principales estrellas de la música country y pop, desde Garth Brooks y Faith Hill hasta Bruce Springsteen y Matchbox 20. En 1988, Jezzro salió como artista en solitario con el lanzamiento de su primer álbum como cabecera, Step on It, que fue lanzado en Japón por Pony Canyon Records. (Una edición revisada del disco fue lanzada en los Estados Unidos como A Day's Journey). Durante los siguientes 30 años, Jezzro lanzaría un flujo constante de álbumes de jazz, country, pop, latinos e inspiradores (la mayoría a través del sello Green Hill) que se centraban en su trabajo de guitarra de buen gusto pero experto y en su interacción con otros músicos. Jezzro también continuó trabajando constantemente como músico de sesión y productor, supervisando sus propias sesiones así como las de otros artistas de Green Hill. Su trabajo como artista y productor le ha valido una nominación al Grammy y siete nominaciones a los Premios Dove hasta la fecha. El prolífico bajista ha tocado o producido más de 300 álbumes, y sólo en 2017, produjo "By Request": Most Requested Songs para el pianista de jazz Beegie Adair, lanzó su propio álbum Sinatra on Guitar, y sacó una secuela de su álbum de 2010 Christmas Jazz titulado Christmas Jazz 2.
