Joe Farrell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joe Farrell, real name Joseph Carl Firrantello (16 December 1937 Chicago Heights, Illinois, USA - 6 January 1986 Los Angeles, California) was a jazz saxophonist and flutist.

In the 1960s Farrell played with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band. He is best known for performance with Chick Corea, in Return to Forever, as well for a series of albums under his own name on the CTI label, he also recorded with Charles Mingus, Jaki Byard and Elvin Jones.

He was heavily influenced by John Coltrane. His early solo CTI LP, "Song of the Wind", with Chick Corea and Jack DeJohnette, showed an avant garde style.
