Dizzy, Miles, Wynton … and Joe: When he was younger, Joe was a jazz trumpet player. “The band at the high school I went to was too small to act as a marching band so instead we played jazz and I took to it like a fish to water.”

High School Sweethearts: While both of Joe’s parents were born in the United States, they met in high school in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “My mother’s father was an engineer and my father’s father was a geologist/CIA operative, and their jobs took them and their families to South America.”
