Jazzy Joe

January 31, 2005 (Press Release) -- Joe Pereira popularly known as 'Jazzy Joe' has come a long way since he picked up a violin in Goa way back in 1934. Little Jazzy Joe, all of seven, set out for his first music lessons under the Portuguese solfegio system. Lessons that would see him through show business for the next seventy years and more! One of the pillars in the foundation of Indian film's music
industry and featured soloist in countless commercial recordings, today virtuoso saxophonist Jazzy Joe is India's most popular and accomplished jazz musician. His long and eventful career has spanned just about every live jazz avenue from clubs and hotels to concerts and festivals worldwide. He takes the stage to enthrall audiences with an exuberance that has to be seen to be believed. Co-produced by Colin D'Cruz and Orlando Fernandes, this album features some of the most popular jazz standards laced with flavours of Goa. Seventy years of Jazzy Joe is finally recorded with strong support from virtuosos in their own right,
George Fernandez on piano, Colin D'Cruz on bass and Lester Godinho on drums. Hear sample sounds from this album at the CD section of www.jazzgoa.com
