One time on the bus to Boston, I showed Joe Raiche the stuff I was doing, like playing these vamps with accents in one hand and playing with the right hand against it.
Morello played with Johnny Smith for several months when, “Kenton was playing Birdland and Stan Levy had to take about three weeks off. I remember Joe Raiche and I used to go together to study with Stone. I mean, it’s nice to have two drummers that can play together. There are new cats coming up and naturally the drum companies are out to push their instruments. Joe studied with Stone and spoke about the influence that book had on his playing. They sound like drummers and not musicians because they don’t know where they are in the tune. I could play that record and I thought, ‘I’m as good as that.
I never practiced a crossover in my life. One time, I even brought him to the doctor’s building where they were going to do the operation. That’s all. Joe said, “Oh man, the old man [Stone] is not going to like that.” Later Stone came out with his book, Accents And Rebounds, where he’s doing all of that stuff. The teacher didn’t know until two years later that I couldn’t see the music.
I became Springfield’s best drummer and learned how to read. He died on March 12, 2011 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA. His new book, Master Studies II, points the way to the drumming innovations of tomorrow.
I’m playing better musically than ever.
He had students and people that he taught who were in awe of him. It’s the guy that doesn’t have the chops who tries to get in there, that sounds like a jerk. I put them on the set to see where they’re at, and then I’ll give them a choice. Today, at age seventy-eight, Joe is still playing great. I thought that it was interesting the way he played “Opus One.” He did a thing with his left hand and I thought, “Geez, how does that work?” So I figured that out myself.
As far as his brush technique, Morello said that he never really practiced with them.
He was a vaudeville drummer. The title is very corny. Let’s get out of here.” And I argued with him. Joe is currently fronting his own quintet which would be impossible without his friend and guide dog, Matthew, given to him by the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. in Smithtown N.Y.
I thought that was brilliant. You meet a few friends and a lot of schmucks in this business.”. I haven’t worked a day in my life outside of this since I was about sixteen.”. “Those records like Louis versus Buddy — they get so monotonous after awhile.
He played the whole set, but he played a lot of snare. “I like melodic playing which doesn’t mean you have to have a million tomtoms.
Jo used to play his bass drum open.
I guess they think it’s just a lot of laughs, a lot of wine, women and song. Everything I’ve done in that department was trial and error. That’s him.’ This guy came over and asked, ‘Are you workin’ Friday?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘How would you like to come and start with me at Birdland?’ It was guitarist Johnny Smith.”. Kenton was looking for a sub and all the guys around New York were saying, ‘Oh man, I wouldn’t take that job, it’s like chopping wood.’ Sal said ‘Why don’t you go on the band?’ I decided to do it. He had a method of practicing and playing where everything was loose. “When I left that job, all those cats that had been putting me down wanted the gig. Joe Morello is a drummer not often written about.
I memorized everything on violin.
Nothing’s right except him. If it is, then hold them that way.’ If it’s natural for him, why change? Who cares?
In recent years stories have circulated stating that Morello was somewhat of an embittered recluse. Chops.
