Raie Da Costa #1 Recorded 1930 - 1932 CD338a

Raie Da Costa hailed from South Africa, along with her friend Harry Jacobson. Raie was born in 1905 and by 21 years of age was recording prolifically - fortunately, as her career was very short - only eight years. I have access to many of her personal collection of 78 rpm records, and will be adding more discs to this. Raie is accompanied by 'The Night Club Kings(Ray Noble) on the Monte Carlo and Whoopee medleys and her friend Harry Jacobson on 'Goodnight Viennna' and 'Sunshie Susie' sides. It has been said that she always completed a master with one take - a monumental task as her playing is incredibly complex and dynamic. All these tracks were transferred with a special digital hi-definition process for smoother, fuller, clearer sound.
