“In a concert in Birmingham's Symphony Hall ... (conductor) Joe Muccioli, took a mezmorized audience through the Miles Davis classic album "Sketches of Spain". It was a true honor for JazzMouse to be involved with this production for BBC Radio 2. - JazzMouse.co.uk
Randy Brecker in front of the Burlington Discover Jazz Orchestra, capably conducted by Joe Muccioli...was the highlight of the evening. Muccioli provided just the right blend of music history and solo acknowledgment as the musicians worked through selections of “Porgy & Bess” as well as a complete reading of “Sketches of Spain.” - Paul Kaza, Burlington Free Press, Burlington Vt.
