  • Aristocrat/Chess Records by Frank Daniels
    Aristocrat/Chess Records by Frank Daniels When Aristocrat Records began in early April, 1947, the firm had several partners. The label was going to feature all sorts of musicians – not just pop, or country, or jazz. By September they hired Leonard Chess to help sell their singles, and by the end of the year several of the partners had gone away. The musicians’ union strike in 1948 probably drove some of the others away, so that by 1949 Evelyn Aron and Leonard Chess were basically running the show by themselves. Aron joined Art Spiegel that year in forming American Distributing, and Phil Chess wound up joining Leonard. By spring, 1950, they were preparing for a name change to Chess Records. As if they were foretelling the future, some of the greatest artists on the label were in their blues stable – including the always- noteworthy Muddy Waters, the father of (modern) Chicago blues. Muddy had recorded unreleased material for Columbia and had just released one record for Ballen’s 20th Century label, the B-side of a single. That had been a primitive version of his song, “Mean Red Spider,” a record that would be rerecorded for Aristocrat. As soon as his first Aristocrat single hit (in February, 1948), Muddy was a blues legend. When Aristocrat morphed into Chess, right away he released the song that gave the Rolling Stones their name (7/15/50). Aristocrat Records had plenty of talent on the label, but their blues artists piqued the most interest, and these were the artists that Chess was most interested in promoting.
