  • Jody Williams January 2012 in the Mid 1950'S, Jody Williams Was One Of
    Jody Williams January 2012 In the mid 1950’s, Jody Williams was one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Chicago, yet he was little known outside the music industry since his name rarely appeared on records. His acclaimed comeback in 2000 led to a resurgence of interest in Williams’ early work, and his reappraisal as one of the greatest blues guitarists. His singular guitar playing, marked by flamboyant string-bending, imaginative chord changes and a distinctive tone, was highly influential in the Chicago blues scene of the 1950s. Born in Mobile, Alabama, Williams moved to Chicago at the age of five. His first instrument was the harmonica, which he swapped for the guitar after hearing Bo Diddley play at a talent show where they were both performing. Diddley, seven years his senior, took Williams under his wing and taught him the rudiments of guitar. By 1951 Williams and Diddley were playing on the street together, with Williams providing backing to Diddley's vocals, accompanied by Roosevelt Jackson on washtub bass. Williams cut his teeth gigging with a string of blues musicians, notably Memphis Minnie, Elmore James and Otis Spann . After touring with West Coast piano player Charles Brown , Williams established himself as a session player with Chess Records . At Chess, Williams met Howlin’ Wolf , recently arrived in Chicago from Memphis, and was hired by Wolf as the first guitarist in his new Chicago-based band. A year later Hubert Sumlin moved to Chicago to join Wolf's band, the dual guitars are featured on some Howlin’ Wolf’s recordings.

When, last May, we founded the "Blues Appreciation Society" our ultimate aim was the publishing of just such a magazine, as one seemed badly needed in this now increasingly popular field. It will be published at about 5-weekly inter­ vals, and future contributors include John Godrich, Doctor H. R, Rookmaaker, Derek Coller, Henry Vestine as well as the writers in this i ssue. Our ’B.A.S.' activities will carry on as before, in conjunction with this magazine. Ideas for improving our service are still very welcome and w ill receive our closest attention. We hope to salvage many of the fine, ideas laid down by Max Vreede's original society, and further details will be published here. We need good feature articles, discographies, criticism s and reviews. News of that's happening blueswise your way. Anything topical constructive and interesting. Don’t be lazy. Write it. Let us know what you like, and, more important, what you don’t. Your opinions matter. If you don't write, we don’t know. However we do hope you'll find something of interest here, and will con­ tinue to do so. Finally, on behalf of the ’B.A.S.

Wilson Remodeled for Chess: 1956-57 Architect for remodeling: John S. Townsend Jr. On any given day, tourists from around the world can be found peering into a small two-story building on South Michigan Avenue, or having their photographs taken by the doorway labeled simply by the address "2120". With its unassuming terra-cotta facade and 1950s aluminum storefront, the building seems like an unlikely candidate for inter­ national veneration, but as the offices and studio of the Chess Record Corporation between 1957 and 1967, the building has come to be regarded as one of the legendary historical sites of twentieth century recorded music. Within its walls were produced some of the most influential recordings in the creative development of the genres of the blues and rock 'n' roll, as well as significant recordings in other musical disciplines. Two decades have passed since Chess occupied the 2120 South Michigan Avenue building, but the recordings that originated there are still played internationally and continue to influence the ongoing evolution of popular music. The musicians and management of Chess Records were rough hewn out of the streets of Chicago, giving the company a creative identity that set it apart from contemporary record labels.

  • Vee-Jay Singles
    Vee-Jay Records: the First Fifty Singles The story of Vee-Jay Records very likely begins with people who are not usually associated with the company. In the late 1940’s, Charles and Evelyn Aron founded Aristocrat Records in Chicago. They split from one another in 1948, and Evelyn wound up running Aristocrat – together with her partner, Leonard Chess. Late in 1949, Evelyn left Aristocrat with Art Sheridan to found the American (Record) Distributing Company. This left Leonard Chess with his brother Phil, and they famously renamed Aristocrat – the new label was Chess Records. Aron married Sheridan shortly before the end of the year, and by September of 1950 they had gone back into the record business. They had signed pop singer Arnold Jones and sax player John Porter and began recording them immediately. By the end of the year, Chance had recorded several artists in preparation for a company rollout. The March 10, 1951, issue of Billboard announced the upcoming release of several singles – including Porter’s Chance 1101. Given the moniker “Schoolboy,” John Porter did a fine job and was promoted well. That attention led to the discovery that Art Sheridan had used non-union musicians to record the aforementioned single. Sheridan claimed that they had union cards but apparently had not paid their dues. This got Sheridan in trouble with the American Federation of Musicians, who threw the book at him – preventing him from recording any union musicians until May, 1952. From then on, the union had Art Sheridan on their bad list. While Sheridan’s marriage to Aron did not last long (he remarried in May, 1954), he focused on rebranding Chance Records and building it into a strong Chicago label, along with his financial manager, Ewart Abner.
