Alan Lomax found & recorded Jelly Roll Morton in Washington D.C. in 1938, convincing him to play his old brothel songs from Storyville, New Orleans, which were so raunchy that some were not released by the Library of Congress until 67 years later in 2005.

This is a Bluescentric Brand ringer tee, available in comfortable sizes up to 2XL. The material is 4.3 oz 100% combed ringspun cotton fine jersey. It features side seams and contrasting 1x1 baby rib binded collar and sleeves. 

Black Patti Records was founded & went defunct the same year, 1927 -- like a flash in the pan. 

But some-55 tracks that Black Patti recorded until the end of August 1927 uniquely captured a growing & changing new musical style -- part Americana, part vaudevillian, and part of a rollicking style that was spreading quickly through black American communities.

It would come to be known as “The Blues”. Don’t expect to come across a Black Patti in your time crate digging for gold — only a few were pressed back in the 20s, and only a couple are known to have survived into the modern world. 

The print on this shirt features a carefully scanned & restored vinyl record label of the ultra-rare Black Patti Records number 8030 -- a folksy rendition of “Stack O’ Lee Blues”.
