A moderator has edited this artist: "This was a pseudonym used by Duke Ellington and his orchestra. See (Duke Ellington)"

I don't know about them, but I am wondering, were they connected to Joe Turner?

Also, is Joe Turner With Pete Johnson’s All Stars the 'Big' Joe, as in Big Joe Turner And Pete Johnson Trio?

There are two separate Joe Turners:

That's true, see e.g. DAHR.

Not at all. He ("Big" Joe Turner, b. 1911) came much later, made his first recordings in 1939, with Pete Johnson, see below.

Yes, definitely.

All albums except one (Effervescent, Classic Jazz CJ 138) were made by "Big" Joe Turner, the blues singer. Moved that album to the newly created Joe Turner [jazz pianist].
