Joe Kelly (musician)
Joe Kelly is an American Jazz musician.
Joe Kelly was a successful jazz musician in Chicago during the 1970s, frequently playing to a full room five nights a week. He headlined the band along with Barrett Deems, Quinn Wilson, Johnny Board, Mike Huniford, Paul Quinn and Larry Barr. Joe semi-retired from Jazz in the 1980s.
He began a second career playing post call at some of the bigger horse races around the country. However, his main post with the post call was at Arlington Park Race Track in Illinois. It is the brief "Boots and Saddles" tune and a little bit of jazz that has made bugler Joe Kelly a legend among horse racing fans across the country for more than twenty years.

Famous quotes containing the word joe:
“This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
