Vintage 1920s-1950s Jazz & Blues 78s Lot - Wilbur Sweatman 1918, Boogie Woogie, Miff Mole

​A superb 5-record collector’s lot tracing the roots of early jazz, rhythmic stride, and boogie-woogie piano from 1918 through to the 1950s.

​This selection spans decades of jazz evolution, starting with one of the absolute earliest commercial jazz recordings, sweeping through 1920s hot trombone, and landing on driving 1940s piano boogie. A fantastic instant collection or stock injection for a vintage boutique.
