Joe Guy

Joe Man had a short and rather odd profession. A encouraging trumpeter who was simply heavily affected by Roy Eldridge, Guy’s design looked forward towards bop. Nevertheless because of his heroin make use of, he never created beyond a particular intermediate level as well as the outcomes, although fiery, regularly sounded uncomfortable. Man performed briefly with Teddy Hill’s Orchestra in 1938 (being successful Dizzy Gillespie) and was an integral soloist using the short-lived Coleman Hawkins big music group of 1940. During 1940-42 Man played frequently at Minton’s Playhouse and he made an appearance on many privately documented (and later on released) jam classes. His lengthy solos, heard following to Charlie Christian, Thelonious Monk, Warm Lips Web page and Roy Eldridge, generally failed to keep their personal since he had not been on the level; but once again he was simply in his extremely early twenties. Man worked with the best rings of Lucky Millinder, Charlie Barnet and Cootie Williams (in 1942 he motivated Williams to make use of a few of Monk’s compositions). During 1945-46 was carefully connected (both musically and individually) with Billie Vacation. However Joe Man was ultimately busted for medication ownership and after 1947 hardly any was noticed from him. He passed away in obscurity in his city of Birmingham at age 41.
