Jabo Williams

About Jabo Williams

Jabo Williams was an African American boogie-woogie and blues pianist and songwriter. His total recorded output was a mere eight sides, which included his two best-known "stunningly primitive" offerings, "Pratt City Blues" and Jab's Blues" (1932). Details of his life outside of music are scanty. It is generally supposed that Williams was born in Pratt City, Birmingham, Alabama, United States. However, this is based purely on references to that location, in his self-penned recording of "Pratt City Blues".
