Essay in Ragtime: Brun
This record was acquired from the collection of Steve LaVere. LaVere was a legendary and somewhat controversial figure in the history of American jazz and blues music. He was involved in some of the early efforts in the 1960s by the Imperial label to gather historical blues compilations, and he was a key figure in helping the family of blues legend Robert Johnson establish claim to his publishing rights, a process steeped in public and professional contention, to say the least. Along the way, Steve also amassed a large collection of rare and obscure blues and jazz records. This is one of several acetates from his collection.
This acetate grades E, both surfaces are glossy and clean with just a few light marks. There is no label on either side.
