Wikipedia
Steve Brown first went north to Chicago in 1915 with brother Tom in the first wave of jazz musicians to go to the city.
He was a member of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings in the early 1920s, where his early slap-style string bass playing attracted attention.
According to one story, he was the originator of the slap-style when the drummer failed to appear for a show.
