Joe Gallivan

He attended the University of Miami and then moved to New York in 1961, where he had a big band with Donald Byrd that featured Eric Dolphy, Pepper Adams, Don Ellis, Johnny Coles, Julius Watkins, and Duke Pearson.

In London he was considered a replacement for Robert Wyatt in the band Soft Machine but did not end up joining the group, instead collaborating with its former members Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper.

During the same year he recorded Des del silenci in Barcelona with the Ektal Ensemble, including trumpeter Benet Palet, percussionist Marti Perramon, and Gnawan quartet Nas Marrakech featuring vocalist Abdel-Jahlil Koddsi.

In 2000 he performed at the Bell Atlantic Jazz Festival in New York City in his band the Rainforest Initiative with Dean, Parker, Charles Austin, John McMinn, Marcio Mattos, Lei'ohu Ryder, and Mahalani Po'epo'e.

He recorded the live album Vienna with bassist Paul Rogers and Indian violinist Anupriya Deotale and LA with Benn Clatworthy.
