Hello Joe

Hello Love is the 1959 album by American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. This is a CD released by Verve Music Group on 28 September 2004, remastered by Hideaki Nishimura.

At the start of the 1970s a select group of up-and-coming record company bosses who had first made their mark during the late ‘60s were seriously challenging the supremacy of Jamaica’s established musical elite. This soon-to-be reggae royalty included such influential figures as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Harry Johnson, Bunny Lee, Winston Riley and the man whose output provides the focus for this 2CD set, Joe Gibbs. Having already enjoyed numerous rock steady and boss reggae hits, Gibbs expanded an already impressive roster of artists to include some of the island’s most popular acts, notably The Heptones, Judy Mowatt and Dennis Alcapone. ‘Freedom To The People’ includes the very best of the producer’s output from 1971 to 1972, a period during which he further cemented his reputation as one of the most creative and successful forces on the Jamaican music scene.
Packed with an array of reggae hits alongside an equally impressive number of long-lost gems that have remained unavailable on any format for half a century, the collection is an essential addition to the collections of all self-respecting fans of vintage Jamaican sounds.

Mambo Jazz is a 1991 compilation CD by jazz great Joe Holiday. Released by Original Jazz Classics, it is a collection of four different projects he released in the 1950's, all remastered by Kirk Felton.

Joe Locke is widely considered to be one of the major voices of his instrument. He has performed and recorded with a diverse range of notable musicians, including Grover Washington Jr, Kenny Barron, Eddie Henderson, Cecil Taylor, Dianne Reeves, Ron Carter, The Beastie Boys, the Münster Symphony Orchestra and the Lincoln, Nebraska Symphony.

Lou Busch was a major arranger/conductor who created an alter ego for himself in the guise of Joe 'Fingers' Carr, the ragtime and honky-tonk pianist. For the first time on one compilation we present both facets of the spectacular Lou Busch / Joe 'Fingers' Carr career. All of Joe 'Fingers' Carr's hits are included "Let's Do It Again!", "Music! Music! Music!", "Maple Leaf Rag", "Portuguese Washerwomen", "Sam's Song", "Down Yonder", "Tiger Rag", "Beer Barrel Polka", "The Old Piano Roll Blues" and many more! In addition are his great orchestral works plus his hit recordings with wife Margaret Whiting and all three tracks from Roger And Hammerstein's 'The King And I'.

As album sales have seen sharp declines each year, the r&b genre has been hit especially hard. It’s no surprise that many r&b artists have spent the majority of their time touring and only releasing a new album every few years. Joe is an artist that has continued to consistently release albums, but it seems that even he is now considering slowing down. The legendary singer is set to release his twelfth album “#MyNameIsJoeThomas” this month, and is hinting this could be his final one. He’s already off to a great start with the release of this album though, with the lead single “So I Can Have You Back” already reaching top 5 at radio. The album pays tribute to Joe‘s most successful album “My Name is Joe” and it’s poised to give us more of the traditional love songs we’ve grown accustomed to receiving from this timeless artist. YouKnowIGotSoul sat down with Joe once again for an interview and discussed the creation of the new album, if he’s really retiring, the vulnerability in his music, making r&b in the 90’s, and much more.
