The Georgia Washboard Stompers
The complete recordings of this washboard band, which was assembled by Decca Records in 1934 and 1935. These exciting sides feature the fine trumpet work of Taft Jordan, and are important as examples of how the washboard band style evolved in the 1930s after first gaining popularity in the mid-1920s.
