Description
I am now listing several autographed photographs that were inscribed to him personally from other entertainers and performers during his career in my E-Bay shop.
Joseph Albert Morello (July 17, 1928 – March 12, 2011)
was an American jazz drummer best known for his work with the Dave Brubeck
Quartet. He was particularly noted for playing in the unusual time signatures
employed by that group in such pieces as "Take Five" and "Blue
Rondo à la Turk". Popular for its work on college campuses during the
1950s, Brubeck's group reached new heights with Morello. In June 1959, Morello
participated in a recording session with the quartet—completed by the alto
saxophonist Paul Desmond and the bassist Eugene Wright—that yielded
"Kathy's Waltz" and "Three to Get Ready", both of which
intermingled 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures.
During his career, Morello appeared on over
120 albums. He authored several drum books, including Master Studies, published by Modern
Drummer Publications, and also made instructional videos. Morello was the
recipient of many awards, including Playboy magazine's
best drummer award for seven years in a row, and Down Beat magazine's best drummer award five years in a
row. He was elected to the Modern
Drummer magazine Hall of Fame in 1988, the Percussive Arts Society
Hall of Fame in 1993, and was the recipient of Hudson Music's first TIP
(Teacher Integration Program) Lifetime Achievement award in June, 2010.
