MASTER CLASS
Finding opportunities for growth and development are important aspects in the process
of evolving as a creative musician. Since the beginning of his career, Grammy Awardwinner Joey Calderazzo has played primarily in quartets led by saxophonists, such as
Michael Brecker and Branford Marsalis. As a musician and composer, the pianist had
become comfortable in this format, developing an intensity in his playing and predilections in his composing that those ensembles’ sizes demanded.
In the early 1990s, Calderazzo recorded three albums for Blue Note Records: In The
Door, To Know One and The Traveler; Secrets was released on Audioquest and Joey Calderazzo on Columbia Records. In 2002, he signed to Marsalis Music and released Haiku and Amanecer in 2003 and 2007, respectively. Calderazzo’s co-leader credits include
Songs of Mirth and Melancholy, a 2011 duo with Marsalis. Calderazzo debuted on Sunnyside with 2013’s Live,
a trio recording featuring bassist Orlando Le Fleming and drummer Donald Edwards. Calderazzo’s sideman
recording credits include Arturo Sandoval, Bob Mitzner, Bob Belden, Vincent Herring, Jeff “Tain” Watts and
Jerry Bergonzi, as well as Marsalis and Brecker.
Calderazzo saw the establishment of his trio as a means to strengthen his craft by working on new material and musical concepts, approaching them with a fresh and hard-won perspective, reflected in Going Home
(Sunnyside), a new recording of originals and standards. Going Home is a tremendous document of his musical process and a milestone of his progress, synthesizing his decades of creativity into something new, sublime and supremely centered as a composer, improviser and band leader.
With roots in North Carolina, Calderazzo splits his professional time between teaching as an adjunct professor at North Carolina Central University, working with Marsalis and company, and pushing his own trio art
to new heights.
