Hey guys,
This thread reminded me a a chart I have that you might be interested in.
This is a composition by Joe DiOrio called, "Blues for Bela" - that's Bela Bartok, and obviously it's a bit outside.
Joe played this a few times for us at G.I.T. back in 1978-79, and my roommate, David Carlson from Sweden transcribed it. He then showed it to Joe who confirmed it was accurate. Then, for our GIT class of '79 graduation party, David and Joe got up and played it together. I think it was a highlight in David's life. Anyway, David shared his score with me, and now I'm sharing it with you.
Hope you like it. It's a bit bizarre, but the more you hear it, it grows on you. Enjoy!
Thanks for the Diorio stuff! BTW: For those of you the belong to eMusic, the "It's About Time" CD just became available a few weeks ago. However, in typical eMusic fashion, it is listed under Dom Moio (not Diorio!), who is a sideman on the album.
I was a '79-'80 grad of GIT. Joe was sporadically around and the only time we really got to see him play was when Pat Metheny came for a seminar and he and Joe played a few tunes. Watching them play made me realize how amazing Joe was, and also how good Metheny was. They killed it on standard tunes. Joe's an amazing person.
You guys beat me to Joe by a few years (GIT Class of 1987). Loved my time with Joe. He taught me one thing that has stuck with me all these years: "All's well that ends well". Great transcriptions. Thanks guys.
Ha! And I'll split the difference...GIT 1984. Joe was around once a week or so during my year...and he remains to this day one of my greatest musical heroes. I love his "To Jobim With Love" CD.
Joe has always been one of my favorites. He actually played with my uncle Wally Cirillo in the seventies. An album called solo duo. I met joe when I was 15 ...back in the seventies and studied with him briefly in Miami. I have studied his playing ever since...still learning...for me... the Coltrane of guitar...
It's actually intended as a gift for my wife, to sing through and play her Yamaha 76 kb. She's been using an Alto TS110a powered speaker with a small mixer, but I've been looking for something a bit...
I have a bag of tools, spares and useful odds and ends that lives in my car. The tools include what I'd need for pretty much anything I know how to do. Part of gig planning is thinking about...
I once again have too many guitars. Two of them are L-4CES, one from 2003 which has the maple body, and one from late 2009 which has the mahogany body. The 2003 has two pickups, the 2009 is Wes-style...
Along those lines, don’t forget to carry the spares you need to finish the gig in the event of a failure. Just as a $10 bolt can end the race for a million dollar car, a $15 cable or a $2 fuse can...
If the exteriors of the cables all look the same - same color, same size, et al - then you have a problem. I intentionally don't do that. I make my own cables, both speaker and instrument, and I...
Here's something else I learned. Don't ask how.
I had the idea to run vocals and guitar through my mixer, Yamaha MG10XU.
Then, hard pan the vocals, left, to the FOH speaker.
Hard pan the...
