Description

The early Rock & Roll and Rockabilly recordings for the first time on LP.

Joseph W. Welz (born Welzant, March 17, 1940) is an American musician best known for his short tenure as pianist with Bill Haley & His Comets.
Welz was born in Baltimore and started his music career with his group the Jay Rockers in the 1950s. Welz was amongst the first group of rock and roll pianists to start using the boogie-woogie style with his left hand. He attributes this to the lack of a bassist in his band, forcing him to play basslines using his left hand.
He attracted the attention of Bill Haley when The Jay Rockers opened for the Comets. While serving as a recording engineer for the Armed Forces Network in Berlin, Welz recorded and co-produced a live session for Bill Haley & His Comets for AFN Frankfurt. (see Hydra CD Bill Haley On The Air). Upon exiting the military in 1963, Welz later joined the Comets as pianist for a few weeks. It was also during this time that Welz signed a record deal with Canadian-American Records and released the single "Hey Little Moonbeam".
