Joe Mooney Born 03/14/1911 (Paterson, NJ) Died 05/12/1975 (Fort Lauderdale, FL) For a period of time, Joe Mooney was a well-known jazz accordionist -- which is definitely a small field -- but he had a lengthy and a rather episodic career. He went blind in the early '20s but by 1926 was playing duets with his brother Dan on radio.
