The OP has proposed subtly a challenge, which I'll start to get busy on: examples of these good folks material. Thanks mate--I was just idling about. When to start? I'll let Miss Peggy Lee tell you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4K41Qt_eIU < from a marvelous series freshly released--The Snader Telescriptions

About Eddie Lang: well first of all his name at home was Salvatore Massaro (cribbed from a comment--look at that beautiful Italian nose), then: it's so easy to apply filtering technology to clean up recordings that I view leaving surface noise in as a sort of fake authenticity. BTW he died at age 30 from a botched tonsillectomy. Damned shame.
