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 is a simplification but the impression I get is that Parker was the very much the main source. (Dizzy had a big influence on trumpeters of course - such as Miles).
Sonny and Clifford came in a...
Sorry Cliff I haven’t actually commented on the recording. Well done! As other have said you are making progress. The head is sounding really good now. I think you have a process that’s working.

Wow! This combination of clarity and sustain is unusual for an archtop. A new guitar category altogether? A perfect match for Mark's poetic playing style - a test pilot of the highest order!
Sight-reading (as in immediately and correctly playing a piece you’ve never heard before) is sorcery. A chord chart is one thing but pulling complicated and unknown music from the dots…? Forget it....
I've been playing the guitar for many years, but most of them, playing by ear.
I have taken several online courses, one of them focused on jazz, but I realize that, the more I learn, the more I...

Has anyone tried the JHS Clover preamp pedal?
