Harry " The Hipster " GIBSON " Opus 12 Eee " !!!

RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH MR HARRY GIBSON ! Harry "The Hipster" Gibson (June 27, 1915-May 3, 1991) was a jazz pianist, singer, proto-rapper and songwriter.
Gibson played New York style Stride piano and boogie woogie while singing in a wild, unrestrained style. His music career began in the late 1920s, when as the young Harry Raab, his birth name, he played stride piano in Dixieland jazz bands in Harlem. He continued to perform there throughout the 1930s, adding the barrelhouse boogie of the time to his repertoire, and was discovered by Fats Waller in 1939 and brought down to mid-town Manhattan, where he made a splash and changed his surname to Gibson. Between 1939 and 1945, he played at various Manhattan jazz clubs on 52nd Street ("Swing Street"), most notably the Three Deuces, run by Irving Alexander, and Leon and Eddies, run by Leon Enkin and Eddie Davis.
