The Charleston originated in the southern USA at the beginning of the 20th Century. Based on African rhythms, the dance became very popular around 1913 and stayed in vogue right through most of the Roaring Twenties. Like the hip flash, bobbed hair and raccoon coats, the Charleston has remained synonymous with that era.
Electrical recording techniques were introduced in 1925 by COLUMBIA records, so we have the benefit of improved frequency range on the majority of the tracks presented on ... Read More
