"Crazy Blues", written by Perry Bradford and peformed by Mamie Smith, is considered the first blues recording -- a recording that started a craze for the blues that lasted into the 1930's. Supposedly, Sophie Tucker had been engaged to record this song, but Perry Bradford convinced record executives to let 37-year old Vaudeville/cabaret singer Smith make the recording though she was African-American.

"Arizona" was James Reese Europe's first published composition, according to Peter Lefferts bibliography of the musician's works. This is a first edition copy published by Sol Bloom in 1903. I have not been able to determine how Europe came to write the music for this work, though William Estren, the lyricist, wrote for Bert Williams and other African-American performers. This music is important because it initiates the career of Europe, whom Eubie Blake called "the Martin Luther King of music." This copy is in about VG condition. It has some edge, corner and surface wear along with a former o... View more info
