Joe Pica (September 19, 1923 – December 13, 1973), nicknamed "The Wizard of the Keys," was a popular United States East Coast pianist and lounge singer who flourished in the 1950s.
[7] Joe Pica played at the Three Acre Grill in Rutherford NJ late forties to early fifties.
I made records on 45 disks of Joe Pica for people that requested a song.
Had she not married and we continued our friendship I know I could have helped her to get to the right people that would have brought her to national and possibly international fame.
To me Joe Pica was the best piano player and Terry Amadio was the very best female singer in my, D. Tony Ciaramella, lifetime.Down the Shore in Long Branch, NJ, appearing Friday and Saturday nights at the Kensington Lounge was one of the best piano players I ever heard: Joe Pica, the Wizard of the Keys.
