I was unaware Joe Diorio had passed away on Feb. 2nd until seeing the “Joe Diorio Celebration of Life” held on Feb. 15th, hosted by Beth Marlis, here on KZitem. I was moved! Joe touched my heart! So, I decided to share this video of Joe Diorio speaking in two 30 minute seqments. This is part two.
This video was recorded at the Joe Diorio Fund Raiser/Jazz Guitar Workshop, hosted by John Pisano, at California Vintage Guitar & Amp in Van Nuys on January 15, 2006. Joe had a stroke in 2005 that impacted the full function of his left hand, and thus, his playing. In less than a year, Joe’s ‘extended family’ came together to help him out. Joe’s words will impact all aspiring jazz guitarists worldwide on how they approach their music, the time spent developing it, and their attitudes towards others.
There is no music, just Joe answering questions, sharing his thoughts, his ideas, and his stories of the incredible life he lived as a jazz guitarist. As Joe said, “Being at the right place, at the right time” and meeting people like Wes Montgomery, Tal Farlow, Joe Pass, and my teacher, Ted Greene. He underscores the humility and kindness of the greats!
What a beautiful person! We love you, Joe! Rest in peace!
