JOE AZARELLO “JUST JOE VOL. 1”
Accomplished jazz pianist, composer, slipped away on September 8, 2021. He was 77.

Joe and Tom grew up in Kenmore, NY (near Buffalo), first went to Rochester and played with many of incoming jazz groups, but migrated westward and began playing in LA and San Diego in the 60’s with the who’s who of the day. There wasn’t a jazz club that the brothers did not perform in.
