Joseph Vella is the creative visionary behind Jazz Online and remains the driving force today. He calls upon his lifelong passion and study of the music along with nearly 20 years of experience in the industry to form his distinct perspective. Armed with a broad understanding of jazz, combined with an extensive archive of original content, the goal of this one time musician turned internet entrepreneur is to present an unfiltered but intimate portrait of the music. Though his spirited viewpoint sets the tone, it is the voices of the artists themselves that enrich the experience. Vella’s ability to direct and shape this unique narrative is at the heart of Jazz Online and what separates it from the rest.
