Joyce Cobb and the Cool Heat ARTIST ID: 31058

Joyce was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma and reared in Nashville. Early in her career she landed a record deal with a subsidiary of Stax Records and continued her recording career with the West Coast based Creem Records. At the same time, Joyce participated in a project for RCA Records. She recorded a single that earned #42 and an album that peaked at #11 on the Billboard Magazine charts.

In April 1992, JOYCE COBB'S On Beale Street opened to rave reviews, with Cobb being the first female to have a nightclub named in her honor. Joyce has been voted "Best Female Singer" by the Memphis chapter of NARAS (National Association of Recording Artists and Songwriters) and named "Best Female Entertainer" by the Beale Street Merchants Association. In the early '90's Joyce performed on the traditional jazz circuit regularly with the Hot Cotton Jazz Band.

Joyce is presently a member of the University of Memphis faculty, teaching jazz vocals in the Commercial Jazz Department. Ms. Cobb can be heard in Memphis on WEVL FM90, with her two shows, "Voices", which features a variety of vocalists and personal interviews; and "Songs For My Father", a program that shares a collection of instrumental jazz music.
