This t-shirt features the Okeh records logo. Based in New York City, Okeh Records (pronounced 'okay') was founded by German-American Otto K. E. Heinemann as a subsidiary of the German-owned Odeon Records in 1916. Its early productions featured popular songs of the times, particularly from the Vaudeville genre. There was also a taste for the more obscure elements of jazz. Okeh Records went on to exploit later developments in popular and not so well-known music, often introducing its audiences to Polish, German & Jewish artists singing in their native languages. The label survived to become instrumental in the growth of the Swing, Jazz, Blues & Funk genres. Okeh is also famous for two of its biggest stars; Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington.
