Joe La Barbera: Experiencing Bill Evans
by Victor L. Schermer
In his own unassuming way, Bill Evans changed the face of jazz piano trio forever.

He loved tradition. It was just his grasp of ...

Joe La Barbera
Born:
Joe La Barbera has performed all over the world with some of the finest names in jazz since his arrival on the scene. From his first professional appearance at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas with Frankie Randall and the Buddy Rich band in 1968 to his work with jazz great Bill Evans and up to the present, he has always been in demand by world class artists and has always been regarded by his peers as a tasteful, musical drummer and a supportive accompanist. Bill Evans summed it up best when he said: “Joe is very dedicated to playing quality music and he’s willing to make the concessions of dues toward that end. He’s a top soloist and he does the right thing at the right time”.
