About Joseph Joe
Musician. He was known as a blues and boogie pianist pioneer, who created the musical path for every blues and blues-rock musician to follow. In the 1940s, his big voice on blues boogie compositions and pop songs were standards on such tunes as "Well, Well Baby" and "I Met a Girl Named Martha." For years, he performed at clubs nationally as well as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and clubs in London, Berlin and Paris. He also was featured in a British documentary, "The History of Boogie Woogie." After his father passed away in 1963, he took a 25-year-old layoff from his music. He eventually returned to his gospel roots on his final album, "Big Joe Jumps Again!" that included an appearance by rock guitarist Peter Frampton released in 2005. In 2004, he was inducted into the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Hall of Fame. He died from diabetes.
