Don Joseph (1923-1994) merged jazz and poetry in his style.He was a cornet player of sweet sound and controlled passion, with the mostdelicate of timbres, a feeling for melody and an exquisite choice of notes, whowas not at all compromised by any particular style. Too shy to ask forrecognition, as if playing was the essential thing, it was a pity that such agifted, sensitive player—like his friend trumpeter Tony Fruscella—was seeminglyincapable of sustained work habits.

His imagination and cornet sound was a marriage that yieldedsheer poetry. Throughout a well-structured, diverse set his solos areconsistently excellent, but his chorus on What a Difference a Day Made iscertainly one of the highpoints. It is poetry expressed in music, a combinationof emotion and creative invention intuitively brought to life by hiswonderfully expressive, personal sound, and an impeccable sense of time andpacing, all facets to be found in his work over this set.

His appearances on records were very few, and his solosrare. This CD contains the most complete collection of his work. Some of hisphrases are timeless statements. He was a unique personification of jazz.

About Don Joseph, byBill Crow:

“I knew Don, he played both trumpet and cornet, but I thinkhe only owned a cornet when I knew him. When he recorded with Gerry Mulliganonce, he didn’t even own a cornet. Gerry loaned him one that someone had givenhim. Don’s addiction caused him to pawn anything of value, for a while. Thereare some stories about Don in my book ‘From Birdland to Broadway’.”
