About the artist
Wilbur Coleman Sweatman (February 7, 1882, Brunswick, Missouri – March 9, 1961, New York City) was an African-American ragtime and dixieland jazz composer, bandleader, and clarinetist. Sweatman was one of the first African-American musicians to develop a nationwide fan base. He was also a trailblazer in the racial integration of musical groups. Wilbur Coleman Sweatman was born to Matilda and Coleman Sweatman. Wilbur's father ran a barbershop in the riverside town to provide for his family, which also included daughters Eva and Lula.
