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.
