The vast majority of the records are from the personal collection of Sid Woods, an R&B, Soul and Jazz
disc jockey in the 60s at Indianapolis, Indiana’s only African American radio station-- WGEE. In addition
to being a DJ, he also hosted many jazz festivals across the Midwest including the Ohio Valley Jazz
Festival in 1964 which included Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck and Dizzy Gillespie. Prior to
1961, he was the DJ at WRAP in Norfolk, Virginia, one of the first African-American stations in the
country at that time. In the mid-1950s he got his start in spiritual music and was known as the “Gospel
King of Tennessee”. He was a personal friend of Wes Montgomery and included in the original
collection was a lacquer test pressing of Full House on Riverside. (While 90% of the records for sale are
from this collection, if you are curious about a specific record, please feel free to email me.)
