Joe Morello (born July 17, 1929) is a jazz drummer perhaps best known for his years with Dave Brubeck.
Morello was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. He had health problems throughout his career as a professional musician, especially with his back and eyesight. He is mainly known for playing extremely polyrhythmic patterns in odd time signatures. He is featured in an extended solo on Dave Brubeck's hit tune "Take Five."
