@@bielzinhoferreira8184 you do know that Wes Montgomery called him one of the best young guitar players besides himself during an interview...Taught thousands of professional guitar players in Miami, LA at MI and USC. He once told a story of how he advised Jaco Pastorious...
I agree with the idea, the lines are incredible. He is an excellent guitarist, the ideas do not end and he chains one with another better than the previous one.
I met Joe at U Miami in 1973, had a lesson with Bredice. Joe spent thousands of hours with Slonimsky's Patterns in music. He's the only guitar player with one foot in tradition and yet totally modern, treating melodies based on consecutive 4ths, 5ths, etc as much as the typical thirds and arpeggios. Sadly, like Thelonius Monk, nobody to carry on his direction. I also like he rarely goes above the 12th fret, using the full tenor sax range, rather than the squeeky alto range preferred by most guitar players.
I still remember Joe’s words to the incoming class I was in at GIT in LA. He was about to play a song he wrote called Peace and he told us, “don’t use your music to be famous, use your music to make peace.” That has always stuck with me and I think of it often. Listening to this song I am just as amazed at his playing as I was 30 years ago.
I studied with his teacher who had a master's in music theory. Vince Bredice was a musical genius. Joe is also a genius on guitar. What you see is the top of ten layers deep. Joe knows theory as well as he plays. He is one of only a few gifted players still alive from their period and time. I met Joe twice and he is truly brilliant. I knew Vince for years as a student and friend. I lost track of him , miss him greatly and don't know if he is still with us. Vince was from a large family, mostly all musicians. I heard he had a brother Fred but knew nothing about him but heard he was a great player. Vince lived in Miami and his wife had a farm in Missouri but tried to find him and had no results. He may still be alive but I couldn't find anything about where he is or if he passed. The musicians in the Bredice family must have all been very talented and having been around Vince changed my playing and the way I thought about theory and playing. God Bless them all for their genius and love for music. He would show you something complex and say, "Even my dog Hondo could do that!" He would always make you laugh and try to make you want to practice and play. He was a wonderful person and teacher. I miss his humor a lot. He played in Segovia Master Classes as a young man, few could ever rise to be accepted to that. He was amazing and so was Joe DiOrio. There are few that come close to replace them. Like many of the big band players, it is talent you only see a few times in a generation.
Take a closer look. He's looking behind his eyes, not the camera. IOW, he's inside his head and not focusing. But what if Joe enjoys watching his fingers dance over the frets. Good for him. But again, a closer look will show he's "vaguely" seeing the fingers on his left hand, he's simply in his own world and enjoying the music. Masterful!
i got to hear and study with joe and ted greene in la in the seventies. They were both really good teachers and nice people to know. i would say a serrious music student would do well to study their work thanks to all who post good stuff
His books were too advanced for me when i started. Now I retuun to them again and i see more and more levels to the game he was showing us.. he was a musical genius of the highest order in guitar.... may he rest .
Joe Diorio is great, deserves wider appreciation. His recordings are hard to find. On Amazon, they're quite expensive. His work with Ira Sullivan on the old Horizon label was terrific, too.
Give his teacher, the great Vincent Bredice, some credit also. Vince had a master's in music theory. I studied with him and miss him very much. Met Joe years ago, a very kind and humble person. Many jazz cats had big egos and attitudes, not Joe. Just pure talent and a big heart.
Hi. I just found this because I was searching for anyone connected to my grandfather, Fred Bredice, for my aunt just emailed me a few days ago, mentioning Joe D as being a student of Fred's, too. I've been investing some time in doing my Ancestry-com tree, building some knowledge of the Bredice family (my mother was born Lorraine Bredice, Fred's third daughter) from CT and Italy. Do you know how Vince was related to Fred?
I just found this because I was searching for anyone connected to my grandfather, Fred Bredice, for my aunt just emailed me a few days ago, mentioning Joe D as being a student of Fred's, too. Anyone here who goes back to the 40s/50s/60s who may have known the Bredice (musicians) clan?
Chris - if you're reading this, I miss you man. I miss playing finger style and gypsy jazz during those Dinwiddy days. And jamming in Russell Square park. You know who I am ;) S
Joe Pass's book explained .."thinking chord" or reharmonize chords, passing chords, is all about harmony, then when you have the harmony ,you can create a melody on it
I was hooked on Joe's playing in the late 50s when he was on Eddie Harris' "Exodus to Jazz" album that was very popular at the time. Joe's solo on the title track was exquisite. Unfortunately it cut off the jukebox 45 RPM but remains on the 33RPM album. The album is a nice mainstream session. His Spitball label recordings were also wonderful! And anything with IRA Sullivan is always great!!
Any chance you knew the Bredice folks whom he apparently learned from? Fred Bredice, a music teacher, was my grandfather, but he passed the year before I was born ('69). Just trying to find folks who knew him.
@@michaelbrown2890 I have Mr Bredice’s books, or at least one of them. The books were quite advanced and very interesting. I’ve got a large library and a small house. I did read, back in the day, that Joe studied with Mr. Bredice. That’s why I bought the book. To the best of my knowledge, Joe is still alive, though not active. Once in awhile, he used to answer some of my emails, but very rarely. You want to try writing to him. Thanks for your note.
Check out the Jake Feinberg Show. He interviewed Joe Diorio not too long ago. He mentioned your grandfather and that he studied with him. The interview is on TH-cam. Joe is recovering from a stroke and has some paralysis, but spoke very well with a lot of history.
21st Century intervallic Designs was on my music stand through my teen years but it was so hard to find music by fringe names in the 80s i hadn't really actually heard Joe until recently! So great!
Did you ever get in touch with him? I was just searching, unsuccessfully, for a contact. He was apparently a student of my grandfather Fred Bredice, a guitarist and music teacher.
I just found out about Joe Diorio, from watching an interview pt. 1 with Wes Montgomery? Who mentioned him in 1965 or so, along with Nelson Symonds from Montreal. Whom I hear from various friends of mind, was an amazing guitar player as well.

I have a different approach to enjoying this master's work. Instead of following his work on any individual tune, I take his lines and adapt them to songs where they really need to be screamed out. It's easy to hear quite a few other tunes possible from the lines in this tune. Of course, his most difficult lines I pass over, or just use snippets. Definitely one of the top ten jazz guitarists of all time.- Charles Bevell Bloomington, IN
Any chance you'd heard of the Freddie Bredice Band from back then? 'Twas my paternal grandfather, and I'm just looking for any insights into his stuff. I've just recently found an ad in a Scovill Times newspaper from there for a show he was doing at the Cabaret Dance club. Just curious who knew his stuff.
Joe, I remember catching you at Gulliver's in Patterson, NJ on "Monday jazz guitar night" in the early 1970's, a small intimate club on a side street where all the great Jazz guitarists like Bucky Pizzarelli and Joe Pass performed solo to 10, maybe 15 people. You were young, super fast, but a bit off on accuracy. I must say you have corrected that. You sound and play fantastic with perfect execution. Best to you Joe.
Si, la gente siempre presta más atención a lo aparente, solo por llenar los huecos que tienen en el alma, mirar solo los defectos pero no las virtudes.
Remembering the days when you played at the Universal Unitarian Church in S Miami with Ira Sullivan, Steve Bagby, Tony Castelano, and Vince Lawrence. AMAZING concerts!!
Yes sir! I studied with Bagby and was at the church when they recorded their duet album Straight Ahead to the Light. Just listened to it for the first time in 40 years on Spotify. They used to live next to each other in a duplex around Coral Gables the music that would come out of there was incredible
Really nice and love the fluidity and interesting lines etc, I met you many moons ago doing a clinic on my speedpick. Great playing and thanks for the inspiration, Steve Zook
Great, but also time to consider other players, unknown but who play great too. In fact time to focus on your own game, every point of view are important and valuable. Beside that, talking about respect or wider appreciation for one or another makes unavoidable the question of being better than another or being inferior or superior : Music is not a competition and should not be a monetizable object for it's an individual expression of a moment.
Such a great version of this tune! Joe's lines are unbelievable!
If u are here then i should pay attention on this guy. Thanks Jens , for teach me english and music. Cheers from Brazil , hope meet u some day.

No wonder this guy's so good, he keeps an eye on each hand

What you said is funny and evil...
and the third one ...
C H K D S K lol WTf lol so funny and evil lol

wishing the great JOE DIORIO HAPPY 84 YEARS OLD TODAY!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE !!!!!!
I’ve been playing this tune for years. Listening to this I realise I haven’t even touched the surface.

That's why I play wearing sunglasses
Joe is a true legend, and he should never be disrespected.
Rare Birds was such an awesome album
This man is criminally underappreciated.
Well hello, Mr. Diorio! Seems there's an endless supply of master guitarists I've never heard of.
Check out his book Intervallic designs.
Joe's played just about every note there is to play :-)
He plays so beautiful I could cry. Absolutely amazing
He is bar none best live performance I have ever witnessed...at our faculty recital...
yep
Seeing you playing again brings back memories of you and Ira Sullivan at the Rancher in Miami in the seventies. Great to hear you again.
His right hand is so relaxed yet precise, total mastery of motion economy on the guitar.
Such a marvelous player! Rest in Peace...
Joe is my favorite guitarist bar none
Joe was a master guitarist. He was right up there with Bruno, Pass, and Martino.
Modern jazz saxophone/Coltrane 🎷Modern jazz guitar/Diorio🎸 (melody, harmony, supreme)

I played bass in the 70's, I was an acquaintance of Jaco, Joe and i had the same teacher--an incredible man by the name of Vince Bredice.

I'm totally digging his Intervalic Designs book. Bought it 15+ years ago and never really delved into it until now. It's a rut breaker for sure!
Super Joe on guitar.What an iconic musician 👏
RIP Joe Diorio 🙏
I hear that Joe Diorio also played with Ronnie Singer in the late 40s/early 50s. I'm Ronnie's sister and would love to get in touch with Joe.
Did you ever get in touch with him? I was just searching, unsuccessfully, for a contact. He was apparently a student of my grandfather Fred Bredice, a guitarist and music teacher.
