"I'm not saying that I'm a great BeBop player..." Are you kidding me? You are one of the best BeBop players ever... 😊

Joe was the best of the best. He set an incredibly high bar.

Intervallic designs...
He's a proper visionary.
Not everyone 's cup o tea, but a splendid fellow

Decades ago, I heard Joe Diorio at a jazz club in the L.A. area. In addition to being one of the best, he was easily the fastest guitar player I've ever heard.

Exactly correct Joe! Clones have helped destroy the essence of Jazz! No stories of their own. They make good sidemen or ladies though. Especially when they giggle.. quite entertaining!

He is an amazing musician but play to white for me, no swing , no bluesy notes , like Europeu music. I studied his methody. I learn some great lines but to cold for me. I'm studying Benson, Wes, Barney kessel,Metheny. It's more Organic ,more intuitive and more dinamic.
