While country blues singers-musicians such as Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, and Big Bill Broonzy (who took guitar lessons from Papa Charlie) have been celebrated for their contributions to American music, few lovers of blues or early jazz have even heard of Papa Charlie Jackson. Jackson's lack of contemporary recognition is due to a number of factors, including his instrument of choice. Jackson played a six-string banjo on almost all of his recordings, and his material, while some of his songs express the highly emotional sentiments that early collectors of \"Negro\" music valued, much of his recorded repertoire retained the light-hearted sensibility of vaudeville. But the most important factor may be the especially poor sound quality of Jackson's recordings, which makes it difficult for any but the most dedicated enthusiasts to enjoy. In this talk, I will discuss Jackson's recording history and describe my tribute project, which combines new performances of some of Jackson's material side by side with remastered versions of the originals, to be released on Document Records.
