YOU CAN'T BUY A SHIRT, BUT YOU CAN STILL LEARN ABOUT J & M


Cindy & Dave with Cosimo Matassa.

 J & M studios was THE place for R & B artists to record in New Orleans from the late 1940's through the mid 1950's.  In 1949, Dave Bartholomew produced the Fats Domino record "The Fat Man" at J& M.  Many music historians consider this to be the first rock 'n roll record.  Other seminal rock 'n roll artists who recorded under proprietor/engineer Cosimo Matassa at J & M include Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Lloyd Price, Ray Charles, Big Joe Turner, Shirley & Lee, and Professor Longhair, to name just a few.  Click on the links below to learn more about Cosimo
