Joe Jack Giacopelli, Vestax product manager

American Music & Sound (AM&S) in Agoura Hills, Calif. has added Vestax, a Tokyo-based manufacturer of DJ mixers, signal processors, professional turntables and CD players, to its distribution roster, and appointed Joe Jack Giacopelli as Vestax product manager.

Lynn Martin, president of North American Pro Audio, which represents AM&S in the United States, comments, "For the past two years, Vestax has been represented by Korg USA. Korg did a great job for Vestax but has now decided to concentrate on its core business, so we are pleased to be able to step in and offer Vestax support through our well-established distribution channels."

Toshi Nakama, president of Vestax Corporation, states, "Lynn Martin and his staff have a great deal of expertise in the DJ and night club markets in the United States. We were very pleased with the work that Korg USA put into marketing our products and are sorry to have to end that relationship, but we are now looking forward to the continued growth of our innovative and unique products in this important marketplace with the assistance of AM&S."

Joe Jack Giacopelli, aka DJ Joe Jack, joins AM&S from Korg USA.
