You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''John Albert Guarnieri''' (March 23, 1917 &ndash; January 7, 1985)<ref name="LarkinJazz">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Who's Who of Jazz]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-580-8|page=176))</ref> was an American [[jazz]] and [[stride (music)|stride]] pianist, born in New York City.<ref name="NYT" />

==Career==
Guarnieri joined the George Hall orchestra in 1937.<ref name="NYT" /> He is possibly best known for his [[big band]] stints with [[Benny Goodman]] in 1939 and with [[Artie Shaw]] in 1940.<ref name="LarkinJazz"/> Guarnieri is also noted for his embellishment and juxtaposition of jazz with classical piano, such as [[Domenico Scarlatti|Scarlatti]] and [[Beethoven]].

Throughout the 1940s, Guarnieri was active as a sideman, recording with artists such as [[Charlie Christian]], [[Cozy Cole]], [[Ike Quebec]], [[Charlie Kennedy (saxophonist)|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 Records|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 Records|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]];<ref name="LarkinJazz"/> his solos were the first examples of jazz recorded on the instrument.<ref name="NYT" />

In 1946, Guarnieri's trio was broadcast twice by the [[BBC Home Service]] in the UK in a short series highlighting American, British and French jazz artists dubbed as 'Kings of Jazz'. The 18 January and 
29 March episodes featured his trio with Guarnieri (piano), [[Slam Stewart]] (bass), and [[Sidney Catlett]] (drums), and was introduced by [[Alistair Cooke]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?order=asc&q=Johnny+Guarnieri#search|title=Search Results - BBC Genome|website=Genome.ch.bbc.co.uk|accessdate=January 25, 2020))</ref>

In 1949, Guarnieri recorded an album with [[June Christy]] entitled ''June Christy & The Johnny Guarnieri Quintet''. In his later years Guarnieri shifted more toward jazz education. In commemoration of his reputation as a teacher, Guarnieri's students financed a label for him called "Taz Jazz Records". In the 1970s, Guarnieri recorded numerous albums on his new label, and until 1982 worked at the "Tail of the Cock" nightclub in [[Studio City, California]].<ref name="LarkinJazz"/> In the early 1980s, Guarnieri recorded ''Johnny Guarnieri Plays Duke Ellington'' on a [[Bösendorfer]] Grand "SE" player piano, for the Live-Performance Jazz Series.

==Death==
Guarnieri was based in [[Los Angeles]] later in his life, but traveled to the East Coast to play a concert in January 1985.<ref name="NYT">Wilson, John S. (January 9, 1985) "Johnny Guarnieri, 67, Pianist Who Played with Big Bands". ''The New York Times''. p. B6.</ref> He played at the [[Vineyard Theatre]] at East 26th Street in [[New York City]] on January 6, but had to stop at the intermission because of dizziness.<ref name="NYT" /> He went to a friend's house to rest, but was admitted to [[Saint Barnabas Medical Center|St Barnabas hospital]] in [[Livingston, New Jersey]] the following day, where he died following a heart attack.<ref name="NYT" />

==Personal life==
He was survived by his wife, Jeanne, six children, and 18 grandchildren.<ref name="NYT" />
