Joe Houston

About the artist

Joseph Abraham "Joe" Houston (July 12, 1926 – December 28, 2015) was an American rhythm & blues tenor saxophonist. He was born in Bastrop, a suburb of Austin, Texas, and studied trumpet in school, changing to saxophone later. As a teen he began emulating a touring band by buying a red suit with white pants. One night in 1941 a saxophone player did not show for a gig with the band and Houston took his place. Between 1943 and 1946, Houston toured with King Kolax's band through Kansas City and Chicago and throughout the Mid-West.
