Joe Giardullo 4tet: Now Is
by Frank Rubolino
Spirited improvisation marks the offering of soprano saxophonist Joe Giardullo and his quartet on Now Is. Master brass and reed authority Joe McPhee is on board, as is stellar bassist Mike Bisio and fiery drummer Toni Tabbal.

Joe Giardullo & Sangeeta Michael Berardi: Art Spirit
by Glenn Astarita
The title of this effort is founded upon painter Robert Henri’s 1923 book The Art Spirit. As multi-reedman Joe Giardullo notes: “these duets with (guitarist) Sangeeta are paintings and drawings to me.” Hence, an appropriate correlation of what appears to be an - off the beaten path - series of duets between Giardullo and the infrequently ...

Joe Giardullo: Language Of Swans
by Mark Corroto
Musicians commonly use certain tricks to demand your attention: they make noise, play powerfully, and exhibit plenty of showmanship. No so for saxophonist Joe Giardullo. His career (till now) has been one away from the spotlight, and therefore beyond popular attention. He has toiled (as an equal partner) in differing bands under Joe McPhee’s name, to ...
Giardullo/McPhee/Bisio/Tabbal: Shadow & Light
by Mark Corroto
The session Joe Giardullo planned for September 11, 2001 never happened. As the musicians assembled about 100 miles from the horrible destruction in New York, they contemplated scrubbing the recording. Giardullo had planned to model this recording after Dave Holland’s Conference Of Birds (ECM 1972) record with Barry Altschul, Sam Rivers and Anthony Braxton. The day ...
