William Henry "Chick" Webb (February 10, 1905 – June 16, 1939) was an American jazz and swing music drummer as well as a band leader. Webb was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to William H. and Marie Webb. From childhood, he suffered from tuberculosis of the spine, leaving him with short stature and a badly deformed spine; which caused him to appear hunchbacked.

If Chick Webb’s life had been a novel, filmmakers would have lined up to option it. Through genius and a fabled will, Chick became a true titan in American music. This remarkable story of an indispensable man is one of the great musical documentaries of our time. Chick was touted as king of the drums on the cover of the 1939 Gretsch Drums catalog. The unique nature of Chick’s drumkit mirrored his unique qualities as a drummer. On one such occasion in 1937, Chick’s band faced the high-flying Goodman band at its peak, with popular superstar Gene Krupa in the drummer’s chair. According to all reports, Chick’s band left Benny’s group drained and defeated.

Tea for Two by Chick Webb. The Southland Cafe radio broadcast of May 4, 1939, Webb's last recordings, less than a month and a half before his death, fill out the CD. Again the band is in top form, and Ella Fitzgerald sings on several tracks. One would never suspect from listening that Webb would be gone 6 weeks later from TB.
