  • Johnson, Jay Cee (JC) Collection, 1896-1981
    Jay Cee (J. C.) Johnson Collection (September 14, 1896-February 27, 1981) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Jay Cee (J. C.) Johnson, a Jazz and Pop composer, was often referred to as the “composer’s ‘composer.’” Johnson was born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 14, 1896, and died on Friday, February 27, 1981, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Manhattan (New York City), at the age of 84. He received early education in the Chicago Public School System. His mother, Ellen, and his father—who worked as a waiter on the railroad, was away from home most of the time—is unknown. J. C. expressed an interest in music at an early age, but his mother, who sang in the church choir, did not encourage her son to pursue a career in music. Later, while studying the violin, a friend began to give him piano lessons, and because of his attention dedication sounds better in learning to play, his mother decided that this would be his instrument of choice. At the age of 19, following the death of his mother, he moved to New York City, where he began to study piano with a man named Sam Patterson. Around 1920, he began to work as a session pianist, working with singers such as Ethel Waters, who sung in his first recorded hit titled “You Can’t Do What My Last Man Did,” and would go on to record many of his songs. Johnson would go on to compose more songs, including his first version of “Travel’ lin All Alone,” with Billie Holliday as vocalist (one of her first significant hit songs).

  • New West Records Signs the Mastersons; Debut Record Birds Fly South to Be Released April 10, 2012
    NEW WEST RECORDS SIGNS THE MASTERSONS; DEBUT RECORD BIRDS FLY SOUTH TO BE RELEASED APRIL 10, 2012 “…the husband-wife pair Chris Masterson (guitars, vocals) and Eleanor Whitmore (fiddle, guitar, vocals) were scintillating.” – The Telegraph (UK) of a recent performance with Steve Earle Los Angeles, CA – January 24, 2012 -- New West Records is excited to announce the signing of The Mastersons, a Brooklyn based band who make “music that fuses indie pop and folk music with big, sweet melodies…” (Houston Chronicle.) Eleanor and Chris, who were married in 2009, spent most of the last year on tour with Steve Earle as an integral part of his band The Dukes and Duchesses. Each night, Earle stepped aside mid set and let the Mastersons play. The young couple took the opportunity to introduce audiences to songs from their debut record Birds Fly South, which will be available from New West Records on April 10th, 2012 as both a CD and limited edition 180-gram vinyl. The Mastersons will continue to play with The Dukes and Duchesses as Earle adds more tour dates, but also will be out on the road promoting Birds Fly South throughout 2012. Chris and Eleanor met in 2005 appropriately at a music festival; Chris was playing with Jack Ingram and Eleanor with Susan Gibson. Their accomplished songwriting talents and inherent musical ability have allowed them to co-write and play with many high-caliber musicians over the years. Chris, who at the age of 13 could be seen playing guitar regularly around his hometown of Houston, collaborated with Jack Ingram on the song “Don’t Want To Hurt” and co-wrote “Virginia Belle” and “Sleeping With The Lights On” with Pat Green for his record Cannonball.
