Dom Moio
Jazz Soloing Concepts
Drumset Master Class
Thursday, 2:00 p.m.

Dom Moio has been playing drums since the fifth grade. His first influence was funk master Bernard Purdie. However, after hearing Miles Davis with drummer Jimmy Cobb, Moio’s attention was directed toward jazz. Leaving the East Coast in 1979, Moio played with jazz luminaries such as Mose Allison, Herb Ellis, Ahmad Jamal, and Clark Terry. He also had the opportunity to meet and study with Walfredo Reyes, Sr. He has recorded two compact discs with Carl Fontana. Moio also recorded with The Jazz Nonet, Chuck Marohnic, and Greg Hopkins. In 1997, Moio had the opportunity to record with the Four Tops playing both drumset and Latin percussion. He has written and published two books: Latin Percussion in Perspective and Be-Bop Phrasing for Drums. Moio is currently teaching a Latin percussion class, music in world cultures, and applied percussion lessons at Mesa Community College, as well as keeping a busy schedule at Arizona State University.
