Description
A MEGA RARE 78 FROM FESS WILLIAMS ON THE EARLY BRITISH BRUNSWICK LABEL (1927)
Fess Williams led bands in both Chicago and New York in the 1920s and early 1930s. He seemed to model himself after Ted Lewis wearing a top hat and playing a slap tongue, gaspipe clarinet style and alto saxophone that is reminiscent of Lewis' playing, but with often more interesting and creative results. Williams' song Hot Town was the band's biggest selling record and it is a really good Hot Jazz anthem. Fess also cut a record under the name of Fess Williams and his Joy Boys while leading a band at the Regal Theatre (4719 South Parkway Blvd.) in Chicago in 1928. The Royal Flush band continued to play at the Savoy while he was in Chicago. Williams was also the uncle of modern jazz great Charles Mingus.
