'''Joe Farrell,''' real name '''Joseph Carl Firrantello''' (16 December [[1937]] [[Chicago Heights, Illinois]], USA - 6 January [[1986]] [[Los Angeles, California]]) was a [[jazz]] [[saxophonist]] and [[flutist]].

== disagree with edit ==

In the 1960s Farrell played with the [[Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band]]. He is best known for performance with [[Chick Corea]], in [[Return to Forever]], as well for a series of albums under his own name on the [[CTI]] label, he also recorded with [[Charles Mingus]], [[Jaki Byard]] and [[Elvin Jones]].

<blockquote>

He was heavily influenced by [[John Coltrane]].

Arrested on 9 June 1941 for resistance activities, he spent the rest of World War II in German custody, first in the “Oranjehotel,” '''a prison set up by the Germans''', after which he was deported to Buchenwald via the Nazi transit camp Amersfoort. </blockquote>

His early solo CTI LP, "Song of the Wind", with [[Chick Corea]] and [[Jack DeJohnette]], showed an avant garde style.

I disagree with the modification" a prison set up by the Germans" which was added to the sentence.

At the start of WWII The Dutch turned it into a prison for prisoners of war, and after the capitulation of The Netherlands the Germans took over the prison. (De Scheveningse gevangenis werd in de eerste dagen van de oorlog nog gebruikt voor Duitse krijgsgevangenen, maar na de capitulatie namen de Duitsers de gevangenis over) See http://www.oranjehotel.org/

The "Oranjehotel" was as no time a hotel but always a correction facility, and I think this needs to be specified, or the correct name of the institution used which is "Scheveningse Huis van Bewaring".(My fault but I have no idea what the English name would be for Huis van Bewaring, therefore I used it's nickname).

[[de:Joe Farrell]]

A Huis of Bewaring is a place were inmates were kept in cells to await trail and sentencing. It's unclear why the place became more known by it's nickname then official name.
