1954 Jeff Mezzrow born on the South Side of Chicago.

1968-1972 High School years and the young Jeff Mezzrow sees and meets all the blues greats. Albert King (who plays at his High School prom), B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf.
1969 Mezzrow's 1st gig (a Halloween party) is in the New Trier High School gym.

1972-1990 A million gigs in a million clubs from Boston to D.C. out west to Colorado.
1991 Jeff is bringing his band MEZZ to New York for shows in the Greenwich Village clubs. Most weekends are spent in "The Bitter End", "CBGB'S", and Kenny’s Castaways". Bassist Rick Kolow meets and falls in love with German tourist Carmen Schenk and is off to Germany. Kolow books some gigs in the Sping of '91 and drummer Ric Haddad, bassist Rick Kolow, and Mezzrow do the 1st MEZZ Germany tour.
1993 "Luxury beyond Belief" is the 1st MEZZ release on Fortune Records.
1996-2001 Mezzrow moves to Germany and brings various rhythm sections over from Boston and New York to tour.
Where does this name MEZZ come from anyway?
"Mezz has always been my nickname." says Jeff.
But Mezzrow's father's cousin, Milton "Mezz" Mezzrow, was also a musician. He was a jazz clarinetist and saxophonist from the twenties through the sixties. Milton Mezzrow played with such notables as Gene Krupa, Sidney Bichet and Bix Beiderbeck.
He was a pioneer in race relations, having formed the first interracial group to perform in New York. When it came to drugs, Milton was infamous. He was so reknown for his evangelistic attitude toward marijauna that in 1930's New York, a joint was called a Mezzirole!
