NOTE: all recordings were made with a digital USB connection Stanton player, and recorded in lo-fi audio  quality. Especially with the 78 rpm recordings the sound will be worse than when played on a proper set-up.
The crackle or hiss sound worse then when we play these on our old Lenco L70.  


Info: Connie's Inn was a Harlem, New York City nightclub established in 1923 by Connie Immerman (né Conrad Immerman; 1893–1967) in partnership with two of his brothers, George (1884–1944) and Louie Immerman (1882–1955). Having immigrated from Latvia,  the Immerman brothers operated a Harlem delicatessen and made their fortune as bootleggers. Their club was located at 2221 Seventh  Avenue at 131st Street from 1923 until 1934. Acts featured there included Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Wilbur Sweatman,  Peg Leg Bates, Bricktop and Fletcher Henderson. Unlike the Cotton Club, Connie's Inn featured African-American performers but  did not restrict its audience to whites only. Members of the Ziegfeld Follies, heiress Gertrude Vanderbilt, and numerous others poured  in from downtown to enjoy the shows at Connie's Inn and were sometimes influential in moving their revues to Broadway.

Leonard Harper became the Connie's Inn in-house producer during its glory days.

In the early 1930s, the Immermans moved Connie's Inn to a downtown location. There, they produced one of their last great revues,  Stars Over Broadway, which starred Billie Holiday and featured Bessie Smith as a temporary fill-in for Holiday when she was ill.

The Great Depression forced Connie's Inn to close and the Immerman brothers to obtain individual employment. In April 1934 the  Harlem site re-opened as the Club Ubangi and featured famous lesbian, gay and bisexual entertainers such as Gladys Bentley and  comedian Jackie Mabley, later known as Moms Mabley.
