A professional career that has spanned an extraordinary amount of versatility and mastery, takes Pulizzi from sideman, session player, teacher, engineer, producer and bandleader, to solo performer and composer. Like many highly creative artists, Pulizzi needs a variety of contexts to express the full range of his musical vision. Pulizzi has gained great notoriety and acclaim as guitarist on the R & B/ jazz scene but you can still catch him playing a rock gig with his own band Heritage Drive or a solo guitar performance at the art museum.

A musician's musician, Pulizzi's professional portfolio puts him involved in many top projects and even if his name does not immediately ring a bell, there is no mistaking his unique and distinctive guitar sound does. When it comes to improvised solos, Pulizzi is a genius. The technical application of chord changes applied to the development of solos combined with great feel in his rhythm playing as well as lead will make you think. “His approach to playing is extremely creative and adventurous, yet always accessible. This is a rare trait,” says colleague Duncan Crooks.
