Chess Records

Chess Records est un label discographique américain, anciennement basé à Chicago, dans l'Illinois, actif entre 1947 et 1985. Il était dirigé par deux frères : Leonard Chess et Phil Chess. Chess Records reste un des labels les plus importants de l'histoire du blues et a joué un rôle non négligeable dans le rock 'n' roll et la musique soul. Chess Records compte des douzaines de singles et d'albums considérés aujourd'hui comme des pièces maîtresses de la musique rock, par des artistes comme Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley et d'autres. Histoire Le nom original de Chess Records était Aristocrat Records. La société était située à Chicago dans la 71e rue et à Phillips. Deux immigrants polonais, les frères Leonard et Phil Chess, alors propriétaires d'une boîte de nuit, achètent une partie de la société en 1947 et quand en 1950, ils en furent les seuls propriétaires, ils la renomment en Chess Records. La société déménage alors dans la 49e rue et Cottage Grove. En 1951, ils distribuèrent Rocket 88 de Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats produit par Sam Phillips, un des premiers morceaux de l'histoire du rock 'n' roll. La même année, ils créent le label Checker Records. Chess Records devint célèbre pour ses enregistrements de blues, rock 'n' roll et rhythm and blues. À partir de 1952, ils produisent les disques de Howlin' Wolf qui joue alors souvent des morceaux écrits par Willie Dixon, l'auteur attitré de Chess. Dixon, qui avait signé chez Chess en 1951, est un des personnages-clés : il était non seulement un bon bassiste et un compositeur acharné, mais il aidait également à l'orchestration des morceaux. En 1954, est créée une société d'édition, ARC Music et en 1957 un nouveau label fait son apparition, Argo, renommé plus tard Cadet, spécialisé dans le jazz. C'est aussi en 1957 que Chess achète un building situé au 2120 Michigan Avenue où un studio d'enregistrement de très grande qualité, baptisé plus tard Tel-Mar, est installé. Tout est fait pour garder le son particulier des enregistrements Chess marqués par un écho. En 1966, Chess s'installe au 320E 21st Street et dans le même temps il produit un plus grand nombre de disques de rhythm and blues et de gospel. Marshall Chess, fils de Leonard, tente de remonter le label, tombé en désuétude dans le courant des années 1960[réf. nécessaire]. Mais la mort brutale de son père en 1969 met un terme à son entreprise. Phil Chess vend la compagnie à GRT, fabricant de bandes magnétiques mais en 1974 le label disparaît. En 1985, GRT est rachetée par MCA.

Chess Records

La Chess Records è stata una casa discografica nata nel 1950 a Chicago, Illinois. Storia La città di Chicago era diventata un punto di riferimento per la musica nera, a causa della forte immigrazione di afroamericani provenienti dal Sud degli Stati Uniti che abitavano la periferia della città; i due fratelli Leonard e Phil Chess (all'anagrafe Lejzor e Fiszel Czyż, emigrati dalla Polonia nel 1928) decisero di acquisire nel 1947 le quote della Aristocrat Records, diventandone proprietari, cambiandone la denominazione e dedicandosi a questo genere musicale. Era specializzata in musica blues, rock and roll e rhythm and blues, e ha visto incidere alcuni tra i più grandi artisti del ventesimo secolo, come Bo Diddley, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Etta James e Chuck Berry, che il 21 maggio del '55 incise il suo primo successo, Maybellene, che raggiunse la posizione numero cinque della Billboard rock charts e la numero uno della classifica R&B. Secondo molti è la prima canzone rock and roll della storia, e la prima canzone rock and roll ad avere un testo poetico. Nel 1952 i produttori lanciarono un'etichetta alternativa, la Checker Records, per la radio. Nel 1956 venne fondata sempre da loro un'altra etichetta (jazz), la Marterry, che cambiò subito nome in Argo Records. Essa però venne poi rinominata in Cadet Records per evitare confusione con un'antica etichetta inglese di nome Argo. La storia di Leonard Chess e della Chess Records è stata raccontata nel film del 2008 Cadillac Records.

Chess Records

Chess Records (Чесс Рекордз) — американский лейбл звукозаписи, базировавшийся в Чикаго. Основали лейбл в 1950 году и им управляли братья Леонард и Фил Чессы. В основном компания издавала блюз, ритм-н-блюз, госпел, ранний рок-н-ролл, и иногда джазовые записи — как под баннером Chess Records, так и нескольких подлейблов, среди которых были Checker, Argo и Cadet. История Братья Леонард и Фил Чессы, еврейские эмигранты из Польши, приехали в Чикаго в 1928 году. Они занимались питейным бизнесом и к 1940-м годам владели несколькими барами на юге Чикаго. В крупнейшем из них — ночном клубе «Macomba» — для развлечения посетителей работали живьём артисты, причём среди этих артистов было много блюзменов, переехавших в Чикаго из дельты Миссисипи в 30-х и 40-х годах. Братья увидели, что эти исполнители не записываются надлежащим образом, и где-то после войны начали делать записи артистов своего клуба сами. В 1947 году они основали компанию Aristocrat Record Corporation, которая в 1950 году, когда братья решили сосредоточиться на производстве музыки и ушли из питьевого/клубного бизнеса, была реорганизована в компанию Chess Recording Company. В 1952 году к основному лейблу у них добавился блюзовый подлейбл под названием Checker. К 1954 году Chess Company уже была хорошо известной звукозаписывающей компанией, имевшей в своём активе блюзовые и ритм-н-блюзовые хиты таких популярных исполнителей, как Мадди Уотерс, Хаулин Вулф, Литл Уолтер, Сонни Бой Уильямсон, Кларенс «Фрогмэн» Генри, Джин Аммонз и Уилли Мейбон. Как пишет Энциклопедия Чикаго, «имя Chess Records стало синонимом ритм-н-блюза»; компания «отразила в своих записях яркий новый стиль американской музыки с корнями на американском Юге, который повлиял на и вдохновил пионеров рок-н-ролла от Чака Берри до „Роллинг Стоунз“». В 1969 году президентом компании стал сын Леонарда Чесса Маршалл, и в том же году компания была продана производителю магнитной ленты General Recorded Tape (GRT). Серии альбомов The Real Folk Blues, издавалась с 1965 по 1967 гг; Chess Vintage Series, издавалась с 1969 по 1975 гг. В кино Фильм «Кадиллак Рекордс» (2008) рассказывает о истории компании Chess Records.

London House (Chicago)

The London House was a jazz club and restaurant in Chicago located at the corner of Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue, in the London Guaranty and Accident Company Building. History Renovated in 1946 by George and Oscar Marienthal, the London House was crafted from the building's original 1920s Fort Dearborn Grill. Known as a dining spot, London House was revamped in 1955 to become a club that featured jazz and stayed open until 4:00 a.m. It gained notoriety from jazz artists who made commercial recordings there. Notable performers included Oscar Peterson, Ramsey Lewis, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Marian McPartland, Dinah Washington, Cannonball Adderley, Erroll Garner, Ahmad Jamal, Nancy Wilson, Barbara Carroll and Bobby Short. Frank Sinatra Jr. made his Chicago debut there on the club's 20th anniversary in November 1966. Arts and Leisure Co. bought the club in 1969; it was sold to Paul Wimmer in 1971. However, jazz music's popularity had decreased and the club closed in January 1975. Ramsey Lewis was London House's last headliner on January 12. Jerry Dambra, managing partner from 1971 to 1975 (and also managing partner of Mister Kelly's in Chicago) famously said, "I was a lucky man to close the two greatest clubs in the world."

The Shoppes at College Hills

The Shoppes at College Hills is a lifestyle center retail complex located in the city of Normal, Illinois, USA. It is one of two major shopping centers in the Bloomington-Normal area (the other being Eastland Mall). The complex was built in 1980 as a small enclosed shopping mall called College Hills Mall, and was demolished and rebuilt in 2005 as an outdoor center. Anchor stores include Hobby Lobby, Target, Crunch Fitness, and Von Maur. History Plans were first announced for College Hills Mall in 1978. The mall's first stage, comprising a Carson Pirie Scott department store and other mall shops, opened on August 14, 1980, followed by a Montgomery Ward anchor on September 25. Two years later in 1982, Target was added as a third anchor. MetLife bought the mall in 1986 for $21 million. In the summer of 1989, Carson Pirie Scott's new parent company, P.A. Bergner, sold this location, as well as the Carson's location in Forsyth, Illinois stores to Von Maur. Montgomery Ward closed its store in 1997 and was replaced with a Hobby Lobby crafts store in 1999. Also in 1997, Stein Mart added its first central Illinois location to the middle of the mall, while MC Sports moved to Eastland. Over time, many other stores relocated to the larger mall as well, leaving College Hills without most of its major chain stores. In addition, Stein Mart closed in October 2000. By June 2004, the only tenants remaining at the mall were the three anchor stores and a Diamond Dave's Mexican restaurant. After its closure, the entire mall building was demolished except for Hobby Lobby, Target and Von Maur. Cullinan Properties then redeveloped the property as an outdoor mall, with Gordmans being added as a fourth anchor. The new center officially opened in August 2005. The shopping center was purchased in January 2017 by Alto Real Estate funds and M & J Wilkow. In April 2017, it was announced that Gordmans was going to be closing which closed sometime in 2017. In January 2018, it was announced that Hobby Lobby would move into the vacant Gordmans space which opened on June 25, 2018. On August 21, 2018, it was announced that Comcast will open a new store at the shopping center in winter 2018 or early winter 2019. References External links The Shoppes at College Hills
