Slim Gaillard Trio With Wini Beatty - Bel-Tone 755 (1946)

According to several different sources, Slim Gaillard was either born in Detroit, Pensacola, Alabama or Cuba.

Like Cab Calloway, Gaillard published a dictionary of his own vernacular.

Here is his Trio paired up with pianist Wini Beatty. A YouTube search for Beatty popped up a couple of anti-communist 60s era folk songs that she had recorded for the Key label.
