TJ's roots go way back to the forties when he led a jump blues
band. He was a multi talented musician particularly on piano,
trumpet and tenor saxophone.
He also owned the record label Puff, and a music publishing
concern. In his spare time he also ran a landscaping business!
In 1964 he was leasing Puff material, by River Rouge group the
Rivals, to West's Lupine label.
TJ recorded a fair number of solo discs throughout the fifties
for such as Paradise, Nat and Sensation, but his latter
recordings were for New York labels.
