Musician

Gioele Pagliaccia

Born:

Gioele Pagliaccia is a drummer, multi instrumentalist and composer born in Marsciano (Perugia) but raised between Italy, the United States and Santo Domingo.

Thanks to his step-dad he started playing percussion at age 8 but switched to drums three years later, teaching himself how to play by obsessively practicing over records by The Police, Primus, Fela Kuti, Slayer and John Coltrane. Around that time he also learned how to play both the acoustic and electric guitars with which he still composes all kinds of music.

After moving to the United States with his family in the mid 90’s and receiving his diploma from the Corvallis High School (OR), he lived and played in New York and San Francisco learning the language of jazz. After a few years he moved to Rome and quickly became part of the city's vibrant scene, performing with artists such as Pasquale Innarella, Henry Cook (Either Orchestra, Mulatu Astatke) and Manlio Maresca among others.

Read "I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens. Sure, a picture will be taken. It might even prove you ...

Smooth Elevator: Moving Target

Read "Moving Target" reviewed by Doug Collette


With a band name that bespeaks fluid motion in the general direction of ascent, Smooth Elevator has set a high bar for itself. But the international trio of guitarist Will Bernard, bassist Danilo Gallo and drummer Gioele Pagliaccia wisely recorded Moving Target live in the studio, fresh from live dates, and, in so doing, captured the ...

On the Road With Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids

Read "On the Road With Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids" reviewed by Gioele Pagliaccia


The first time I met Idris Ackamoor was inside of Centro Stabile di Cultura on a Sunday afternoon in November 2018. The organizers at this historical venue in San Vito di Leguzzano, a small village half hour from Vicenza surrounded by foundries and wheat fields, asked me if I could lend my Ludwig Drums to the ...
