Jump Jim Crow RW Gordon field recording [anon. Californian 2] (1920-23)

CD 4, track 21

“Jump Jim Crow” is the second of three short field recordings on Before the Big Bang made by Robert Winslow Gordon ca. 1920-23 of unknown Californians in the Bay area. If there are any commercial recordings of this minstrel song from the acoustic era, we are not aware of them.
