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...
Well, hey, surprise!
I just came here to read about something else, saw this and guess what - today I also fitted JS112s to my '66 ES125 and - exactly the same: new guitar!
I didn't move the...
I have a 1st generation Parker Fly, never tried, and never needed to turn the rod. More Non-defining info, I know, but a data point on stiff necks and boards.
Thx guys. I should be ok with my existing sounds in my brick and mortar instruments for right now - my organ, and then bass, vibes, rhodes and piano sounds on my digital piano. But I'll probably...
the 120 sounds very different from the 100 or 200. 100 and 200 are more similar. I have not a/b'd them but a friend of mine has both and says the 200 is much brighter. It's a thicker guitar too,...
Reverse! Reverse!
Is anyone else here the right age to be hearing the Cha Cha Slide voice saying that every time someone mentions learning the tune in reverse order now?
No?
Anyone?

Hi,
I've had my full TF subscription for probably as long as TF existed, and recently 2 fantastic jazz comping courses came out that some of you may be interested in.
John Pizzarelli's Jazz...
Haha exactly. I think it's cool that even though our micro generation came of age around the millennium, we were still the last to experience olden type society. I was born in 85 and I remember...
