I have been a big fan of Joe Alessi since I was in high school. Joe and I both grew up in the bay area and he was already a star by the time he was in high school. We’ve gone on to work together many times in New York on motion picture soundtracks, television commercials and even a few Hip-Bone Music projects. It is always an inspiration and a tremendous motivation to play with Joe. He plays at the highest level every time he picks up his instrument and his presence makes everyone around him better. There may be some as good, but there are none better than Joe Alessi. I’m honored to have been able to share this time with him and gain some insight into his extraordinary life and career.
