Joe Hunter has been playing piano professionally since 1979, and his versatility has garnered him work with an array of artists. From 1979-82 he attended Cleveland State University. In 1981 he studied in Rio De Janeiro at the Univeridade Gamma Filho, which fueled his passion for Brazilian music. From 1992-97 he served on the Conservatory of Music faculty at Capital University in Columbus,Ohio. Joe has performed with many national artists including Conti Condoli, David "Fathead" Newman, Tito Puente, Eddie Henderson, and Scott Hamilton, and he is a favorite at many Tri-C JazzFest events and is the co-host with Bill Rudman of the very popular “ The Song is You” series. He has taught with the Tri-C Jazz Studies Program for several years and is a popular performer throughout the greater Cleveland area including such nightspots as Nighttown and the Inn at Turner’s Mill. Joe is also a featured player with Ernie Krivda’s Fat Tuesday Big Band.
I am glad to announce the release of my debut CD called "Interro Island". This is my first solo project, which includes original tunes composed and arranged by me. I hope you will enjoy my work!
Hey Joe thanks for coming out to the House of Swing this past Thursday and thanks for bringing Daris. When you walked I got an idea for a song titled 'In Walked Joe' or did Monk already use that theme?
Was just remembering the Easton groove. Working on music for the RC Tribute at Dick's 12/5 & 12/6. Hope you can still make either or both nights. peace, Rog

I reunited with the Brothers Marquez this weekend for what turned into quite the swingin' engagement! It got recorded really nicely and I threw a few of the tunes up there. It has Cleveland swing written all over it. How are things?? I'll be back for a week in mid-late May, I'll be checking up on your calendar.
Thank you for the friendship and for your music. Lots of love & inspiration. More justice and more peace for everyone.
