Joe Carello Named
"Jazz Educator
of the Year"
Joe Carello
CNY Jazz Central has named saxophonist Joe Carello "Jazz Educator of the Year," recognizing his years of service to the Stan Colella Parks and Recreation All-Star Big Band, a collaboration between CNY Jazz and the City of Syracuse. He will be presented with his award at the intermission of CNY Jazz's April 15, 2012 Big Band Cabaret in the Sheraton Syracuse University ballroom, featuring the Morton Schiff Syracuse University Jazz Ensemble directed by Joe Riposo and the CNY Jazz Orchestra (CNYJO). The concert doors open at 4 p.m.
Carello is a Syracuse native and has fronted the Syracuse Department of Parks and Recreation's Stan Colella All Star Band since 2003. A performer with this band as a youth, he went on to play with Colella's professional group for many years.
He has performed with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra on many occasions having been a featured soloist in concerts with Diane Schurr, Maureen Mcgovern, and Jeff Tyzik to name a few. Carello was also a member of the Syracuse Symphony Rock Ensemble--a group started by Calvin Custer in the 1970s.
As lead alto saxophonist with the CNYJO, he has performed with Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Slide Hampton, Joe Lovano, Bob Mintzer, Grady Tate, and others. As a sideman Carello has worked with Chuck and Gap Mangione, Harry Connick Jr., Natalie Cole, Barry Manilow, and Frank Sinatra Jr. He has recorded with Danny D'Imperio, Eric Alexander, Barry Harris, Nancy Kelly, Ralph Lalama, and more. He is a featured performer with college and high school jazz bands and is a sought-after clinician and adjudicator.
In addition to his performing career, Carello is a teacher at Onondaga Community College, Le Moyne College, and co-director of The Band Bus School Music Service.
"In my opinion, Joe Carello could have won this award the first year and every year thereafter, and in receiving the award this year, he also wins 'most overdue!'" says Larry Luttinger, Executive Director, CNY Jazz. "He always shows selfless dedication to each of his students, and especially to those in need, and without fail he is a nurturing mentor for whom his students achieve far more than they ever thought they could. Joe is the consummate teaching artist."
