Critics Rave about Exuberance!
 The first reviews of the latest Joe Deninzon Tio CD, “Exuberance”, are in. Check out what critics are saying:
Justin Donnely, critic from Australia
Dean Quigley, www.celebritycafe.com
“Exuberance is drenched with such style. With respect for the classics and a daring avant-garde boldness Joe Deninzon’s endeavor is certainly a success.”
“Some of their songs…seem almost tailor made for those lost around the poolside martini bar alone late at night as other songs such as sound like they were made some place where both Frank Sinatra and Frank Zappa find common ground. “
“Both Primus or Palao could respect the talents of The Joe Deninzon Trio which to me is their greatest appeal.”
“I recommend this album to anybody interested in the mastery of music as well as classical, jazz and alternative rock fans. Deninzon is only doing good for music. Breaking down barriers, opening minds, and carving a respectable niche for himself. Joe Deninzon is sure to soon be on every music snob’s list of notable artists, I can guarantee it.”
-Sean Quigley

Joe Deninzon to Teach at
Mark Wood Rock Orchestra Camp
 Last year, I had the honor of being the Rock Violin teacher at Mark O’Connor’s legendary String Camp. This year, another one of my heroes invited me to teach at his Rock Orchestra Camp. Mark Wood was the designer of the 7-string fretted Viper Electric violin that I play. He is a legendary performer who has played with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Dee Snyder, and Billy Joel, to name a few. He is also a true revolutionary in the world of electric violin and string education. The camp will take place at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, KS from July 17-23, 2011. To register, visit http://www.mwroc.com/
Some of the topics I will be teaching include:
- “Fiddlefunk”: Using the violin in a funk or hip-hop band
- “Rhytholin”: Chopping, scratching, and comping on the violin
- The “Effective” Violinist: Working with effects in a solo or composition
- Fusion Violin: Mahavishnu, Jean-Luc Ponty, and original songs
- Singing and playing/arranging violin parts around vocals
- Rocking out your string quartet-coaching and performing some of my string quartets that I perform with Metro Strings
Peace, love, and good happiness stuff.
