Official Description
A middle-school band teacher, Joe Gardner's life hasn't quite gone the way he's expected. While teaching is a noble profession, his true passion is playing jazz, and he's good. Joe believes he was born to play professionally, and though he's 46 years old, he feels his opportunity to land a high-profile gig could come any day. Joe has an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz history, and even if his passion for music may have hampered his social life over the years, it hasn't hampered his confidence....
Development
Earlier versions of the film depicted Joe as being much more cynical to his students and openly voicing his opinion of how they view themselves. When going through rewrites, the team realized that it made Joe unlikable. Kemp Powers and John Baptiste gave input on how Joe should act around his students and what he should say with much of his dialogue taken almost verbatim from Baptiste. Joe was originally depicted as an actor who gets his big break on Broadway, but the filmmakers switched him...
Physical appearance
As a human, he is African-American with a black mustache and has black thick-rimmed glasses. He wears a grey fedora, a black sweater, brown pants, and red shoes. As a soul, his nose is not featured, but his glasses and fedora are now part of him.
When Joe was a young boy, his father took him to a jazz club where he found his passion for music. Since then, he has aspired to be a successful jazz musician but wasn't able to get his big break. He became a teacher for the middle school band, and he was first shown encouraging Connie, who was playing the trombone after the class laughed at her. When he finally got his big break he fell down a manhole and got into a coma. Not wanting his life to be over when his big break is about to come, h...

Joe appears at the Disney+ Day party, which is been hold at Moe's Tavern along with several other Pixar characters.
Around the time Soul was about to be released, several scenes from the movie, including some featuring Joe (starting with when he fell down the manhole) headed the Back to the Past segment of Wonderful World of Animation. Since then, the scene where Joe played his piano at the performance represented Soul. Joe is also among the characters in the Di...
Joe is the first black African-American protagonist in a Pixar feature film.Joe apparently had some sort of relationship with a woman named Lisa. Who she is and when the relationship had happened is still unknown.Joe was part of a hip-hop group in his youth, a fact he is embarrassed about.When Joe is playing the piano, his movements and habits are copied verbatim from musician Jon Baptiste, right down to certain finger gestures and ticks that help with the performance.A cheaper, shorter alternative to Greatest Hits (2008), S.O.U.L. contains three of Joe 's four Top Ten R&B/Hip-Hop singles released through 2001: "All the Things (Your Man Won't Do)," "I Wanna Know," and "Stutter." "I'm in Luv," a song a casual Joe fan probably expects in a package such as this one, is absent.
