Lejzor and Fisze Czyż (Leonard and Phil Chess) were Polish Jewish immigrants who, with their upstart little record label, managed to transform American music in the 1950’s. In this live performance and multimedia presentation, Daryl, Seth, and a host of other area music luminaries will bring the story of Chess Records to life with the songs of Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Etta James, Bo Diddley, and more. B. Goode, get your Mojo Workin’, and prepare to be rockin’ in the aisles at the Edlavitch DCJCC!
