American music history was made in Atlanta
In June 1923, New York-based Okeh Records took their newly-invented portable recording equipment to Atlanta, Georgia. In an empty downtown warehouse on Nassau Street they made American music history.
This first “field expedition” to record music outside the permanent music studios in cities like New York and Chicago gave Okeh the opportunity to find and record talent in new musical genres. Most noteworthy, the Nassau Street recording sessions were the first to record what we know today as country music, but significant blues and jazz recordings were also made.
