Mississippi Jook Band (1936)
The Mississippi Jook Band was comprised of three musicians specifically assembled for one recording session in a now demolished hotel in Mobile Street in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on 20 July 1936.
The Mississippi Jook Band was Cooney Vaughn (Piano), Roosevelt Graves (guitar) and Aaron (Uaroy) Graves (tambourine).
Although the band was only together for one day and one recording session, which produced only four tracks, the four recordings by the Mississippi Jook Band are considered historically significant by the Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll.
The Mississippi Blues Trail marker "Roots Of Rock And Roll" on Mobile Street in Hattiesburg, Mississippi describes them as:
"“ROOTS OF ROCK AND ROLL – Rock and roll is rooted in the blues of Mississippi. The Mississippi Jook Band (brothers Roosevelt and Uaroy Graves and pianist Cooney Vaughn) earned a niche in the annals of rock after they recorded in Hattiesburg in 1936, nearly two decades before rock and roll exploded in the 1950s. The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll noted that their blues recordings “featured fully formed rock and roll guitar riffs and a stomping rock and roll beat.”
