CHUCK BERRY & THE ACES Chuck Berry passed away on March 18, 2017 at the age of 90. The Aces were one of the earliest and most influential of the electric Chicago With special guests blues bands in the 1950s. Led by the guitarist brothers Louis and Dave Myers, T-Bone Walker and natives of Byhalia, Mississippi. The brothers originally performed as the Willie Dixon Little Boys. With the addition of the harmonica player Junior Wells, they rechristened themselves the Three Deuces and then the Three Aces. With the enlistment of the drummer Fred Below in 1950, they became the Four Aces and finally the Aces. Influenced in large part by jazz, they developed an urbane, sophisticated style well ahead of its time; in particular, Below’s refined rhythms led to the rise of the blues shuffle beat and helped launch the drums to a new prominence in blues bands. During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s the original Aces periodically reunited for recordings, tours, and festival gigs. - wikipedia + + + + + Thanks to taper Doctor Robert; William Tell; and to Lucifer Burns for sharing the show at Dime.
