[smudgersmissingleg]

smudgersmissingleg, here's the first recorded version of Black Betty, by James "Iron Head" Baker. It was recorded in 1933 by John and Alan Lomax at a Texas prison.

I never knew that, really cool to see where the Ram Jam version originated from?.

Didn’t Charlie Parker do a Bassa Nova album?

Charlie Parker died before the Bossa Nova era began in the late 1950s. He did, however, record some sides with Machito and his Afro-Cubans, and was influenced by Machito to do other Latin/Mambo tunes. There are a few compilation albums that include this stuff.
