Chicago's Jazz Age Melting Pot: Hot Jazz, Boogie Woogie & the BluesNovember 19, 2009In the Twenties, Chicago’s South Side "bright-light" district "The Stroll" was the heart of the jazz scene. Peppered with nightclubs, pool halls, tattoo parlors, and vaudeville houses, it was home to the city’s 100,000 African Americans. During the day, the city was segregated, but at night differences between black and white became somewhat blurred. Chicago nightlife knew no boundaries, and the sound of jazz seemed to seep up out of the sidewalks.Riverwalk Jazz

I Wish I Were Twins: The Fats Waller Bluebird SessionsOctober 1, 2009Introduced in the middle of the Depression, records on RCA Victor's ‘Bluebird’ label were priced at an affordable 35 cents apiece. Fats Waller's blend of hot, rhythmic piano playing and hi-jinx tomfoolery on hundreds of 78 rpm 'Bluebirds' clicked with the public, and sold in the millions. Fats Waller and his Rhythm was the studio band for his Bluebird Sessions. Waller's genius and wit helped carry the band, enabling them to record as many as ten sides in a single day. Rarely did band members know in advance which tunes they'd be recording. The chaos was all part of the fun-loving spontaneity characterizing the Rhythm's Bluebird recordings.Riverwalk Jazz
