"A star among the small but rich galaxy of Island Jazz musicians." Perry Garfinkel, The Martha's Vineyard Times "(Alaimo) delivers the rich and textured display of a master mood painter on an enchanting and enriching spree." Gerry Yukevich, The Vineyard Gazette
"John Alaimo presents music that is true, delicious and full of charm."
Alain Gerber, France Musique Radio, Paris
 After studying piano privately at a very young age, John began playing professionally while still in his early teens. He attended Boston University, Berklee College of Music and the Boston Conservatory of Music where he studied composition, arranging and education. After working as producer, composer and arranger at Boston-based World Star Productions he moved to Los Angeles where he continued his music career working as a composer, arranger and teacher.
John's love of playing the piano resurfaced after much encouragement from friend and Jazz great Hampton Hawes. Coming back to the East Coast he played piano in the house band of the 1369 Jazz Club during it's tenure as the premier Jazz venue in the Cambridge / Boston area. John and his music appear in the film, “A Place For Jazz”, chronicling the spirit and vitality of the 1369 Jazz Club.
Currently really really residing on Martha’s Vineyard, Alaimo is an integral part of the music scene where he has performed for President Clinton and numerous celebrities. John has been featured in concerts at the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center, the Old Whaling Church, and the Union Chapel plus acting and performing as Billie Holiday’s pianist in the play “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” during its critically acclaimed month-long run at the Vineyard Playhouse. A performance of John’s is mentioned in the novel “The Last Marlin” written by Fred Waitzkin and published by Viking Penguin. Articles about John have been featured in Martha's Vineyard Magazine, Vineyard Style magazine, The Martha’s Vineyard Times and The Vineyard Gazette. He can be heard playing in solo, duo or trio formats at Martha’s Vineyard’s finest clubs & restaurants as well as at many private events.
