Haymes, Joe, 1907-1964
Biographical History for: Joe Haymes Big Band Arrangements 1920-1960 (bulk 1930-1945)
Biographical Note Joe [Joseph Lawrence] Haymes (b. Marshfield, Missouri, 10 February 1907; d. Dallas, Texas, 10 July 1964), was largely a self-taught musician, though he spent two semesters at Drury College, in Springfield, Ohio. In his teen years, Haymes worked in a circus, performing as a trapeze artist and playing the bass drum in the circus band. In 1928, he became staff arranger for Ted Weems. Among Haymes’ biggest hits was his arrangement of Piccolo Pete for the Ted Weems Orchestra in the late 1920s. Two years later, Haymes formed the Joe Haymes Orchestra, which toured extensively and frequently performed at the Roseland and Empire ballrooms in New York. His band recorded often between 1932 and 1937. As a bandleader, Haymes was known for his precision and for the talent of his musicians. The Orchestra employed such notable sidemen as trumpeters Pee Wee Irwin, Sterling Bose, Cliff Wetterau, and woodwind players Bud Freeman, Johnny Mince, and Toots Mondello. In 1933, Buddy Rogers took over the band and Haymes formed another group, The Joe Haymes Band. A split between Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Dorsey in 1935 led to the recruitment of Tommy Dorsey as the new bandleader of Haymes’ group. Haymes’ career as a composer and arranger spanned the 1920s, the big band and swing eras of the 1940s, and continued into the 1960s. He produced arrangements for legendary trombonist Jack Teagarden, and contributed arrangements to Lawrence Welk, as well as to various Hollywood studios and CBS Records in New York, many of which were often uncredited.
Scope and Content Note The collection chiefly consists of Joe Haymes' musical arrangements, including many of his own compositions. Unless otherwise noted, the music manuscripts are in Haymes’ own hand, and include scores, parts, lead sheets, piano-vocal scores, and sketches. Miscellaneous items in the collection include several photographs, clippings, correspondence, and a discography.
