Great stuff - Georgia Gibbs was born in Worcester ( born Irene Lipshitz - no kidding), and the Earl Bostic stuff may have Worcester born pianist Jaki Byard on it - have to do some research... What a great find! - Thanks!

Georgia Gibbss, hummmm my mom's maiden name was Irene Lipshitz, but was changed to Linden when she was young
wonder if this is any relation?

This is an excellent site. I have been listening to this for a while so I'm glad someone posted it here.

One they don't have is this one from 1923:

"Okeh Laughing Record"
