Joseph Emory Smith ( 28 June 1902 Ripley, Ohio – 2 Dec. 1937 Central Islip, New York)
Jazz Trumpeter, Joe "Fox" Smith, started out as a Drummer, but switched to the Trumpet on advice from Ethel Waters. He was a part of the Jazz Hounds, McKinney's Cotton Pickers and the Broadway Syncopators during the 1920's. He worked with Bessie Smith on over 30 Recordings and was a Sideman to Eubie Blake, Noble Sissle and others. He died from Tuberculosis in 1937 at the age of 35 years old. Thanks for your contribution Mr. Smith you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have an excellent Monday: Baby won't you please come home (McKinney's Cotton Pickers), It's tight like that (McKinney's Cotton Pickers) and Baby Doll (with Bessie Smith)
