#1 - Jimmy Bell (August 29, 1910 in Peoria, IL - December 31, 1987 in Chicago, IL) was an American jazz and blues pianist and singer. Boogie-woogie pianist and singer Jimmie Bell led one of the many piano trios which were so popular in South Side clubs. (Aristocrat hedged its bets by calling him Jimmy and Jimmie on the same label, but he spelled his name with the "ie.") At the time of his lone session for Aristocrat, in December 1947, his trio partners were Leo Blevins on electric guitar and Andrew Harris on bass.
