Beskrivelse

Joe Venuti practicing on his violin in a studio, New York, 1975.

Joe Venuti (by name Giuseppe Joe Venuti) was an American jazz musician and pioneer jazz violinist. He was classically trained in the violin from a young age and studied solfeggio with his grandfather. He later said that while he studied music from him, he did not learn any one instrument but rather music theory in general. He began studying the violin in Philadelphia, and later claimed to have studied at a conservatory, without providing any corroborating details. Despite this, his style of playing was characteristic of someone who had a solid basis in violin technique.

b. September 16, 1903 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
d. August 14, 1978 in Seattle, Washington.
