Biography

Born in San Francisco, Granelli was involved with the city's hard bop scene from a young age. A day spent with drummer Gene Krupa in 1948 informed his passion for percussion[1] and eventually led to him studying with Joe Morello.

In the 1960s he recorded and toured with the Vince Guaraldi trio,[1] appearing on Vince Guaraldi, Bola Sete and Friends and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Later in the decade, he joined the Denny Zeitlin trio with Charlie Haden.[2]

Since the 1990s, Granelli has lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, becoming a Canadian citizen in 1999. In 2010, he released his first solo album, 1313.[3]
