	Ertegun brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ertegun brothers, Ahmet Ertegun (born 1923) and Nesuhi Ertegun (1917–1989) were co-founders of Atlantic Records.
		Ahmet Ertegun, together with his brother Nesuhi, producer Tom Dowd, Jerry Wexler and others created Atlantic Records in the late 1940s as an independent record company that became a jazz and pop empire in the 1960s.
		Many independent record executives, like the Erteguns, were from immigrant backgrounds, including the Bihari brothers and the Chess brothers.

	JULES BIHARI
		Jules Bihari was the eldest of the four Bihari Brothers (Jules, Saul, Joe and Lester), who are best known for founding Modern Records, one of the top independent blues and R&B labels of the '40s and '50s.
		Bihari noticed a distinct lack of proper funding and distribution for the blues records his customers wanted to hear, but which were often hard to locate and stock.
		Lester Bihari was enrolled as a talent scout in the Memphis area, bringing Ike Turner to the label and introducing his brothers to producer Sam Phillips ; a relationship which led, indirectly, to the signing of the company's greatest money-spinner, B.B. King.

	meteor
		Meteor Records was formed by the Bihari brothers who had launched the Modern Music label in Los Angeles after the war in the late 40s.
		But in 1952 they started a new label in Memphis to be run by Lester Bihari called Meteor that would concentrate in the mid-South in signing and recording regional talent there.
		In 1957 the label is barely alive as the Bihari Brothers consolidate their labels in Los Angeles.

		Bihari and his sidekick arranger Maxwell Davis handed the Jacks a beautiful ballad titled "Why Don't You Write Me?" that was getting some attention on the Showtime label as recorded by the Feathers.
		With Moderns strong national distribution, Bihari knew he could record a song that was starting to move in a version by another act on a smaller label and still beat it to most of the marketplace.
		Bihari liked the act and the song, christening the girls the Teen Queens; by the spring Aaron's little sisters had the number two RandB record in America and number 14 on the pop chart.

		After a bitter rivalry with the Bihari brothers (who Phillips was also leasing material to) Chess would place the most promising of the Sun recorded artists, Howlin' Wolf, on its own label.
		Happily, this unpleasant situation was remedied in the CD age, with Chess/MCA embarking upon a series of comprehensive reissues that restored almost all of the catalog to availability, including much of the rare and out-of-print material that had only surfaced on imports or bootlegs as well as material that had never surfaced.
		The intentions and achievements of the Chess brothers have remained the subject of mixed scrutiny.

		With Bihari's right-hand man Ike Turner hammering the ivories and a handful of local musicians rounding out the combo, Joe hooked up a portable machine at a Canton nightclub and proceeded to roll tape.
		Bihari recruited an excellent sextet for the occasion consisting of Modern's in-house arranger Maxwell Davis on tenor sax, baritone saxist Jewel Grant, trumpeter James Parr, pianist Willard McDaniel, bassist Ralph Hamilton, and drummer Jesse Sailes.
		After a last get-together in Chicago in January of '56 reuniting Elmore with a somewhat juggled lineup of Broomdusters that produced his final single for the Biharis (this time issued on the parent Modern logo), James was let go by the company.

		With a few months left on his Trumpet contract, Elmore was recorded by the Bihari Brothers for their Modern label subsidiaries, Flair and Meteor, but the results were left in the can until James' contract ran out.
		In the meantime, Elmore had moved to Chicago and cut a quick session for Chess, which resulted in one single being issued and just as quickly yanked off the market as the Bihari Brothers swooped in to protect their investment.
		In 1957, with his contract with the Bihari Brothers at an end, he recorded several successful sides for Mel London's Chief label, all of them later being issued on the larger Vee-Jay label.

	Legendary Record Producers

		The Bihari Brothers, Joe, Lester, Jules and Saul originally got into the recording business in 1945, to provide material for their Los Angeles jukebox business.

		Turner was also a talent scout for the Bihari Brothers' Los Angeles-based Modern Records, where he helped get early breaks for artists like Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King.
		The 18 tracks on this collection, spanning the early 50's to the early 60's, is a perfect showcase for Turner's pounding piano, fine songwriting and especially his stunning guitar pyrotechnics.
		The seeds of that success rest on the unparalleled recordings he cut or the Bihari Brothers on their RPM, Kent, and Modern imprints between 1950-62.

		Excellent singles for Atlantic, Mankind, and Hill (another imprint operated by brother Matt, who served as Z.Z.'s producer for much of his career) preceded a 1972 hookup with United Artists that resulted in three albums and six R&B chart singles over the next couple of years.
		The music Wolf made in the Memphis Recording Service studio was full of passion and zest and Phillips simultaneously leased the results to the Bihari brothers in Los Angeles and Leonard Chess in Chicago.

		Shake Your Moneymaker: The Best of the Fire Sessions (Buddha 74465 99781 2) by the great Elmore James is a beautiful example of the latter and the perfect companion to a compilation of his Meteor and Flair singles for the Bihari brothers made several years earlier.
		Recorded between 1959—’61, these timeless classics were originally issued by Bobby Robinson as 45 rpm Fire singles or on Sphere Sound and Fire LPs and have been reissued again and again for almost 40 years.

		As Polish immigrants who landed on these shores in 1922, the brothers toiled in their father's junk business, but later went on to define "The American Dream." Leonard bought and operated liquor stores and a few small nightclubs (described as little more than dives) while Phil served his country in the war.
		Paying for the privilege of having their records played seemed completely natural to Leonard and Phil, natural enough that these monetary transactions would be claimed in their tax returns, long before anyone heard of the payola scandal that would rock the music industry to its foundation years later.
		Phillips began sending masters from Wolf's sessions to the Bihari brothers in California for their RPM logo, and simultaneously to the Chess boys, who were operating their label in Chicago.
