Historic Sound at Brown is a new exhibit in the John Hay Library featuring fifty 78-rpm recordings from the John Hay’s collection of historic sound recordings. Dating between 1903 and about 1950, the recordings span a wide range of musical styles from Minstrel Show to Broadway, Gospel to Novelty Records and from Early Jazz (Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong) to Swing (Artie Shaw) and post-WWII jazz and Military band music. Illustrated sheet music from the John Hay Library’s Sheet Music Collection supplements the recordings.
