Jim and Chazz go way back to the late 60's when they first played together touring with Friend and Lover and Chazz regularly sat in playing piano with Siegel Schwall.
In the early 70's Chazz joined the Jim Schwall Blues Band and left Chicago for the country life, but as fate would have it an abrupt change in Chazz's life put him on a different path and away from music.
Now, thirty years later, they have reunited on Chazz's CD "Recovery". Jim plays acoustic and electric guitar on many of the songs. Jim also co- produced the album which was recorded at Paradyme Studios in Madison, WI.
Chazz has also released his memoirs "The Fire Within" where we catch a glimpse of the impact Jim has had on Chazz's music and life.
