O saxofonista barítono de jazz, Joe Temperly, nasceu na Escócia no 20 de Setembro de 1929 e tornou-se famoso no Reino Unido através de sua participação na banda do trompetista Humphrey Lyttleton entre 1958 e 1965. Em 1959 ele excursionou pelos Estados Unidos com a banda de Humphrey. Em 1965 chegou à Nova York onde tocou e gravou com a banda de Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Joe Hensderson, Duke Person e muitos outros. Em Outubro de 1974, ele excursinou e gravou com a Orquestra de Duke Ellington substituindo Harry Carney.
Joe Temperley tocou com destaque no show da Broadway "Sophisticated Ladies" nos anos 80 e participou na gravação das trilhas sonoras para o cinema que incluem os filmes "When Harry met Sally", "Cotton Club", "Biloxi Blues" e "Tune In Tomorrow" que foi composta pelo trompetista Wynton Marsalis.
Joe já publicou vários albuns, entre eles "With Every Breath" e "Double Duke". Mais recentemente em Outubro de 2008, lançou o disco tributo à Sinatra "The Sinatra Songbook" com a participação de quartetos e octetos que reuniram a nata dos solistas do jazz contemporaneo de Nova York. Um belissimo trabalho, com a mais alta qualidade.
