Joseph later moved to Los Angeles, California.  He studied with Robert Hurst (Diana Krall, Chris Botti) and has spent a number of years making the rounds on L.A.'s Jazz circuit. His influences include Chick Corea, Charles Mingus, Paul Chambers, John McLaughlin, J.S. Bach, Miles Davis and Ray Brown.

His new release, "Evolving Paths" features Joseph's original compositions and arrangements and blends odd meters, multi-layered harmonies and ostinatos with solid acoustic bass grooves.
