Las primeras grabaciones fueron con el sello King. Aunque estuvo vinculado al jazz, frecuentó también el mambo (colaborando con los Afro-Cubans de Machito), a través del cual consiguió un gran éxito en 1951 con "This Is Happiness". Grabó varias sesiones para Prestige en los años cincuenta contando con la colaboración de algunos de los principales músicos del momento, como el batería Max Roach y el piano Billy Taylor. Sarah Vaughan llegó a grabar su composición original "Serenada". Holiday es también pintor abstracto, usando como tema a músicos de jazz. (es)

While still in his teens he began forming musical groups and obtained his first recording contract (with King Records) in 1949. He adopted the stage name "Joe Holiday" before the recording contract date. Holiday played hard bop early in his career, but he is best known for his adaptations of the mambo style. Many of his sessions included members of Machito's ensemble, the Afro-Cubans. He had a hit in the U.S. with "This Is Happiness" in 1951 and recorded for Prestige Records with Max Roach and Billy Taylor. Sarah Vaughan recorded his composition "Serenada". Holiday also does abstract painting. He and his wife, Kelly Holiday, are president and vice-president, respectively, of the St. Lucie Professional Arts League based in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where he presents annual "Art & All That Jazz" events, which have included Linda Cole (singer and daughter of Nat King Cole), Miami musicians Ira Sullivan, violinist Nicola Yearling, and pianist Lenore Raphael.
