July 1939. Gordonton, N.C. “Country store on dirt road. Sunday afternoon. Note kerosene pump on the right and the gasoline pump on the left. Rough, unfinished timber posts have been used as supports for porch roof. Negro men sitting on the porch. Brother of store owner stands in doorway.”

Zoot suits came out of Harlem Jazz Clubs in the 1940’s and quickly took hold in the African American population. The country was listening to Cab Calloway, Count Basie and Benny Goodman – mostly at segregated clubs where non-whites were not admitted, despite the fact that most of the musicians were black. Born of Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean cultures, big band swing expanded to include Latino musicians like Lalo Guerrero and Don Tosti, who incorporated boogie-woogie with rhumba rythyms. Caló (the Spanish jargon of young immigrants, often used in pachuco swing) used rhyming slang, much like African American jive, and is where the term “zoot suit” was born.
