That Toddlin' Town

For various reasons (outlined here), the post-war Chicago jazz scene has not received its due credit in the history books. The Red Saunders Research Foundation aims to correct that imbalance with this informative page. Here you can educate yourself about the major names, labels, and trends of the vibrant Chicagoland music scene of the '40s and '50s. Never heard of Buster "Leap Frog" Bennett or The Four Blazes? You will here. Link to exhaustive discographies and label histories that capture the eclectic flavor of the Windy City's jazz and R&B scene during this bygone era. If you thought jazz was just a New York thing, you need to go here and find out what you've been missing
