1918: Wilbur Sweatman

Gordon looks into the work of Wilbur Sweatman, a seminal yet fairly obscure character in the history of jazz. Born near Kansas City in the late 19th century, Sweatman quickly became a virtuosic clarinetist capable of playing in a variety of styles including ragtime and classical among others. In the early 20th Century, Sweatman started his career as a Vaudeville performer, a move which would help him gain notariaty but also cause him to be panned by most jazz historians. In 1916, Sweatman makes what Dr. Vernick considers the first jazz recording in history, coming almost a year before Original Dixieland Jazz Band’s famous recording for Victor Records in 1917.
