...From his earliest musical experiences listening to his parent's piano/french horn duets; to imploring anyone in audible range to re-play for probably the 10th time, Elvis singing 'Hound Dog'; to playing the tennis racket while Ricky Nelson sang at the end of 'Ozzie & Harriet' re-runs; to borrowing his father's fedora to aid in his Frank Sinatra imitations; Joe Giglio's focus in life has & continues to be MUSIC. (btw, 'fedora' is a type of hat)...
A key & intense moment of transformation occured at age 12 when a much admired, older saxophonist cousin played John Coltrane's 'Ascension' for him-hypnotized. Weekly trips to Manhattan from the 'burbs to score any & all jazz LP's available ensued...

In his own & rarely quoted words: "My journey through the passage ways of music has been, and continues to be one of joy and discovery. In the course of following my heart, I have played hundreds of gigs ranging from the sublime to the absurd, and have spent countless hours practicing, studying, listening, transcribing, reading, and haunting the dark cellars of the New York City Jazz experience. It all leads to you, the valued listener, and to this opportunity to share my experiences with you via this treasured art form...
