No. It's not a room, but a *very* contrived tape repeat with reverb
added to it. This became part of the very distinctive Bostic R+B
sound.

Using a tape delay to feed a reverb plate was common practice in TV in
the '60s and '70s before digital reverb units become the norm.

The track being discussed here, Earl Bostic's recording of Flamingo was
made in 1951, there were no reverb plates then.

Perhaps then you would explained where the 'reverb' came from?

Before plates, the common way was an 'echo room' with speaker and
microphone. But you've stated it was not a room.
