-----------------

JOE GIARDULLO is Brooklyn-born, and raised on the South Shore of Long
Island, New York. He grew up on R&B music, playing tenor sax in club and
regional bands and moved north to the Woodstock area in the 1960's.

It was a rich environment for hearing and playing original music, and it
was here that he got his first soprano saxophone. The local scene
included great players like saxophonist Gene Dinwiddie (Paul Butterfield
Blues Band), multi-instrumentalist Howard Johnson (Archie Shepp Band),
and a whole segment of the original ESP Records lineup! Joe played all
kinds of music -improvised, jazz, rock, blues, club date, weddings-you
name it. But things grew stale and in 1977, he packed up and moved to
Amsterdam, Holland.
Amsterdam was alive with great music- Burton Greene, Han Bennink,
Charles Tyler, Philip Wilson and a thriving local scene as well. It was
a good season to be living and working there.

After a short period based in Amsterdam, Joe returned to live 100 miles
north of New York where after a few years, he slipped into a 10-year
hiatus from public performance, although he continued to play in
private.  Then he met up with saxophonist/trumpeter Joe McPhee one night
at a club.  That meeting in 1991 marked the beginning of a continuing
collaboration.  And it has also reintroduced audiences in the US, Canada
and Europe to Giardullo's music.

Joe's music has been commissioned by The Oliveros Foundation, by the Udu
Drum Division of LP Percussion, and by Amnesty International Woodstock.

In 2004, he has been Artist In Residence at The Center For Contemporary
Art in Warsaw, Poland and at Lugar Comum in Lisbon, Portugal.

2005 sees Joe concentrating on solo soprano concert tours and a new
recording of his music for creative chamber group: G2.

Joe opens 2006 in grand style: he's invited to be a member of legendary
trumpeter Bill Dixon's trio at the Sons D'hivers festival in Paris in
January!
