        Congenital tuberculosis of the spine caused his short stature. Chick was just over 4’0” and he had a hunched back. He started drumming – buying his first drums with wages earned from delivering newspapers – to loosen stiffness in his joints and increase upper body strength. 3/

        About 1924 – aged just 15 - Chick moved to New York City where he started playing in clubs. On Sundays, he’d jam with jazz heavyweights (like Duke Ellington). Chick encountered #ableism early on. Often, his #disability meant others didn’t even consider auditioning him. 5/

        Webb used custom-made pedals, ‘goose-neck’ cymbal holders, a 28-inch bass drum & a variety of other percussion instruments when he played. (I would’ve liked to have got a better sense of what he needed adapted & what he didn’t, but this wasn’t really clear from what I read.) 6/pic.twitter.com/tkEDSexlAi

        By 1926 Chick had his first job as a bandleader, heading up the ‘Harlem Stompers’. Duke – like a manger to the band – helped them get their first big gigs. In 1927 Webb signed as the Savoy Ballroom’s (one of the few non-segregated clubs at the time) house band, in #Harlem. 8/pic.twitter.com/pgUmCEKYEO

        In 1927, aged just 18, Webb and his band “became the talk of Harlem” after beating Joe King Oliver and Fletcher Henderson respectively in a ‘battle of the bands’. (So crushing was the defeat Oliver’s drummer – who had snubbed Webb beforehand - apologised to him afterwards.) 9/

        Three years later, Webb would prepare for battle again – this time against two huge heavyweight bands, Duke Ellington’s and Cab Calloway’s, playing against each other at the Savoy in 1930. Webb beat them. Both. 10/pic.twitter.com/bKelZFsCKT

        In May 1935 Webb hired an 18 year-old teenager - named Ella Fitzgerald. When the Savoy owner's objected - seeing Ella as shy - Chick insisted, “Listen to the voice!” By November 1936, they were recording as “Ella Fitzgerald and Her Savoy Eight.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzLQKLGrC78 … 11/

        Chick's battle with Benny Goodman revealed his lazer-like focus and competitiveness. Before taking the stage, Webb told his band-mates: “Tonight we got to make history… anybody do any little thing wrong… just pack and go home because this is my life.” 14/

        Gene Krupa – widely celebrated as one of the G.O.A.T.s – said of Chick: “I’ll never forget that night - he just cut me to ribbons… When he felt like it, he could just cut down any of us.” Webb became known as ‘the King of the Drums’.

        An exceptionally talented drummer, Webb and his band lost only one battle – to none other than Duke Ellington (also in 1937). (Caveat for strict jazz heads: in 1938 he battled Count Basie and, from what I’ve read, the final verdict is unclear.) 16/pic.twitter.com/eHC1cBHmTc

        In 1938, Ella Fitzgerald would go on to provide the band with their biggest hit record, 'A-Tisket, A-Tasket’. Other hits included ‘Liza’ and ‘T’aint What You Do’. Chick and Ella “were very close, supportive, and loving of one another.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCIFg5ddZZY … 17/

        Writers suggest Webb’s disability and his devotion to his band-mates made him work twice as hard. “He didn’t want to be seen as sickly, so he would keep going. His loyalty...made it impossible for him to ease up…despite the fatigue and the pain.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzLQKLGrC78 … 19/

        Webb might have been ruthlessly competitive, but he was also deeply caring – especially of his friend, Ella Fitzgerald. As his health deteriorated, Chick instructed his band-mates: “Anything happens to me… take care of Ella… Just take care of Ella.” 20/pic.twitter.com/aFgA3E7r3h

        On 16 June 1939, Chick Webb died following a major operation in Johns Hopkins hospital. Legend has it his last words were “I’m sorry: I’ve got to go”. He was only 30. Over 7,500 people attended his funeral in Baltimore where, as a tribute, Ella Fitzgerald sang ‘My Buddy’. ENDpic.twitter.com/x68BnrD5Lb

        PS: I would've liked to have learned more about the racism and ableism (and, of course, the intersection of the two) that Chick Webb must've encountered as a disabled black man in segregated America, but there wasn't much in the sources mentioned.
