[edit] About
Joseph started playing the alto saxophone in the 1980s and later switched to drums before finding his home on the bass. He studied the Double Bass and Bass guitar at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee from 1988-1991. In 1992 he moved to Memphis, Tennessee and started working in nightclubs in and around Beale Street and worked with many notable artists. While in Memphis, he received the prestigious Milt Hinton Scholarship to further his jazz studies and he also received a Premiere Player nomination by NARAS, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
In 1997, Moore moved to his current home in Atlanta, Georgia. Soon after his arrival he started working with Capricorn recording artist Bruce Hampton and the Fiji Mariners. Cult legend and Jamband guru Hampton regularly invited guest artists to sit in with the band, particularly on the 1997 H.O.R.D.E. Tour allowing Moore to network and create musical dialogues with artists such as Jimmy Herring and Rob Wasserman to name a few.
After the demise of the Fiji Mariners, Joseph joined Hick Hop band Blueground Undergrass and was a contributing member for over two years. In the midst of his hectic touring schedule with BlueGround Undergrass, Joseph continued to put out his solo recordings as well record with his Jazz trio, The E.M.P. Project.
