| DR. JOSEPH JEWELL Guitarist, Educator Equally adept on classical and electric guitar, Joe Jewell can be found performing as a featured jazz soloist at the State University of New York Jazz Guitar Festival the week after performing the contemporary concert music of Chinese composer Tan Dun at the La Jolla Chamber Music Festival. In 2003, Joe completed the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Studio/Jazz Guitar at the University of Southern California where he was Pi Kappa Lambda’s Outstanding Doctoral Graduate. In 2006, Dr. Jewell released his first critically acclaimed jazz recording, EVERY NOTE COUNTS, featuring some of the finest musicians in Southern California. Recognized as an accomplished orchestral guitarist, Dr. Jewell has performed on guitar, banjo, mandolin, and other assorted plucked instruments with the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Pasadena Pops, the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, as well as many other prominent orchestras throughout the country. Joe is also an active chamber musician. With the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Ensemble he has performed on the American premieres of new compositions by John Adams and Unsuk Chin. He has made appearances at the 1996 and 1998 San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, 1997 Ojai Festival, and the 2003 La Jolla Summerfest. Joe’s studio credits include performances on soundtracks for television shows on CBS, SHOWTIME and the ODESSY CHANNEL. He has played guitar on the feature films TORTILLA HEAVEN, FOUR DOGS PLAYING POKER, LURED INNOCENCE and UNDERCURRENT. He has played on over 50 commercially released recordings including ten albums for Varese/Sarabande Records. He has recorded for New Mix, Pen Dinas and many other record labels. As an accompanist, Joe has performed and recorded with vocalists Andrea Marcovicci (including a recent sold-out concert at San Francisco’s Symphony Hall) and Christine Ebersole. He has also performed in concert with well-known folksinger, Glen Yarbrough and has played behind Garth Brooks, Nancy Wilson, Bob Hope, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé, and many other celebrities. He has performed in the orchestras for well over a hundred musical theater productions including West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, A Chorus Line, Evita, Chicago, and Little Shop of Horrors. Dr. Jewell taught at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, NY for nine years and was Head of Guitar Studies at the State University of New York at Oswego before moving to Southern California in 1988.

Music:Member Since: 10/11/2006Band Website: joejewellguitar.com Band Members: The Joe Jewell Quartet formed in 2004. Included is Fulbright scholar, Dr. Reed Gratz on Fender Rhodes, one of Southern California’s busiest bassists, Baba Elefante and drummer, Mike Bennett, who has been recently featured in both Modern Drummer and Drum! Magazine. Influences: Joe says: "My earliest influences were the Beatles and the early blues/rock guys like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and (perhaps my all-time favorite guitarist) Jeff Beck. I loved the original electric bluesmen like BB King and Muddy Waters. Later came the influence of the jazz greats, especially Jim Hall, Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. A more recent influence has been Django and the host of the modern gypsy jazz players. Incredible! I’ve had a long-time love of classical guitar genius Julian Bream. I must also mention my most influential teachers: Joe Diorio, Jim Smith and Edward Flower." Sounds Like: About EVERY NOTE COUNTS The sound is unique, capitalizing on the sonic palette created by the electric fretless bass and masterfully played Fender Rhodes. The drumming and percussion provide a solid but creative underpinning for Joe Jewell’s always melodic guitar. The grooves and the stellar Rhodes playing might remind you of the great CTI recordings of the 1970's. Part of the beauty of this CD comes from the eclectic repertoire, which ranges from straight-ahead jazz to R&B to classical guitar; familiar tunes intermixed with many surprises. This is serious jazz but melodic and listenable at the same time. Brilliantly recorded and mixed, it sounds like you are at an intimate concert!
