“You know, with so many layers to our country, if you ask that question; you’re pretty much gonna answer it yourself because if you look back in history there's a difference. There's a big difference but the thing is that people have learned to get together and work together on common issues and that is the main thing; when people wanna be together and they have a common cause, they will commit. Music is a common thing that we play together and I've very rarely seen; well, I can't say rarely because I’ve seen people say, I won't play with that guy 'cause he's white or I won't play with that guy 'cause he's black,. I gotta roll that one back because in the ‘30s and ‘40s there were a lot of people, revered band leaders now who would not play with black jazz musicians until John Hammond Sr. came along and pretty much forced Benny Goodman to play with Teddy Wilson and then pretty much forced him to play with Charlie Christian who did 36 passes of “Coming Home” and not one was the same and Americans don't wanna hear that; they just don't want to hear it. So, what happened was, when Benny Goodman started playing with Charlie Christian and Charlie could play Bach “Fugue #33” with his eyes closed and Mozart; he sort of integrated those people into his band and before that there were not very many integrated jazz bands and most Americans don't know that history and a lot of times if you bring that history up people get offended because they think that you're pointing at them but it's something to be proud of that we overcame that together. That if there wasn't a John Hammond who sort of forced people like Benny Goodman and made him change the way he looked at the people whose music he became super rich from and Benny Goodman was about as poor a human being as you can imagine when he left the Southside of Chicago. American music is full of stories like that and most of them are inspirational and cathartic and you gotta look at it that way. Nobody is claiming that you should know the whole story; did you know the jazz scene was garnered against Billie Holiday, Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis? Most don’t because they overcame it.”
Saturday September 24 sees Joe visit Beverly for the first time and one can hear the pride in his voice when he discusses his musical "Family."
“I’ve got the regular people who I made the record with on this show. I’ve got Scott on keyboards who has been with me for quite a while, John on drums and Jeff Murphy's been with us for a while since Lenny Bradford is more at home now and so Jeff has been playing bass with us and we all sing and Lenny has done some recording with us so we have a little stockpile of stuff that we've done; we’re like a musical family. We have Byron Cage who played with me on “Everybody Wants A Piece” the Grammy nominated record, Byron started playing with another one of my puppies, Vanessa Collier and another one is playing with Eric Krasno and another one of my puppies is playing keyboards with Christone Ingram now, Will Gorman is playing keyboards with Vanessa, Jordan Rose is playing drums on Broadway Pit for a while; I think he's doing much stuff though. I'm so proud of all the young people that sort of come from my band; a lot of them I got out of Berklee School of Music and they were playing with me while they were going to school which was really cool because that's the way it should be. I'm really extremely proud of Vanessa, she came out of school and did a couple of years with me all over the world and I stressed to her, do your own thing, this is a stepping stone to you doing your own thing and then one of these days you're gonna be getting the blues awards and go to all these places that I'm playing and taking you to now and she's really doing great; I'm extremely proud of her and all of them, they’re just great musicians.”
Walker's talents are not limited to the guitar, he has also produced and performed with multiple other artists and in some cases like that of Misty Blues front woman Gina Coleman and the great Eliza Neals; just working with him helped advance their careers.
“I’m extremely proud that I was able to really help them. Another one was a young lady named Bertha Blades who had changed her name to Sari Schorr which was her name anyway and she’s doing really well in Europe and there are a couple of artists over in Europe that I produced in the ‘80s and ‘90s that are household names like Otis Grand, Todd Sharpville and guys like that; Marcus Bonfanti used to back me and he was playing with Ten Years After for a while and I’m proud of these guys because they were young and they all loved music and I just said, man, that’s the way I felt when I left home at age 16 and Mike Bloomfield took me under his wing and let me live with him and sort of let me live on his dime and he introduced me to all kinds of people; everybody needs a little bit of help somewhere. People like Gina Coleman and Eliza Neals are really motivated and they’re very talented and write their own material and they’re really good on stage and their stuff is original; especially Gina because her stuff doesn’t sound like anybody’s and I’m really proud of her being able to tackle difficult subject matter in her stuff and to be able to take the lumps that you’ve got to take in this business in all kinds of different ways and take it and make it cathartic then to put it in a song is really cool and I really respect that out of Gina.”
