Jazz / Classic Jazz
Recorded: Nov 5, 1928-Oct 9, 1929
This CD contains 20 performances by The California Ramblers during a one-year period of time, rare selections that were originally released by the Edison label. During the era there weren't any big names in the group as there had been earlier but such soloists as trumpeter Fred Van Eps, Jr., (who was influenced by Bix Beiderbecke) and Pete Pumiglio (on alto and clarinet) uplifted the hot dance arrangements of this fine group. Trombonist Miff Mole and bass saxophonist Adrian Rollini have guest appearances but basically this was a no-name unit by 1929. Fans of 1920s jazz will want the attractively packaged set.

California Ramblers
Active Decades: '20s and '30s
Born: 1921 in United States
Died: 1931
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Dance Bands, Early Jazz, Trad Jazz
Two major myths surround the California Ramblers band that recorded for the Edison record company in the mid-'20s. First, despite the fact that both Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey served tenures with the group, this was not the Dorsey Brothers' college band immortalized in their Hollywood biopic. Secondly, the group was not from California (by all reports they never even played in that state), but formed in Ohio by banjoist Ray Kitchenman in 1921.
The California Ramblers were one of the very first big bands on record to aim for dance music with strong jazz overtones. Although Paul Whiteman and Jean Goldkette (both of whom employed Bix Beiderbecke at various junctures) were mining this turf around the same period, their recordings sound almost quaint in comparison to the Ramblers. The band had a drumming dynamo in Stan King, an early playing partner of Benny Goodman's, whose rock-solid beat induced dancing. On bass saxophone was Adrian Rollini, a musical genius who could shine on multiple instruments. Add to this the aforementioned Dorsey brothers, Red Nichols, the straight-ahead rhythm of banjoist Kitchenman, and clarinetist Fud Livingston (comedian Jerry Colonna served a brief tenure with the band on trombone before finding his true leather-lunged calling) and you have a society dance band with real bite and verve. They also hold a parenthetical place in jazz history, hiring trumpet man Bill Moore, one of the first African American jazz musician to work with a white band. Although their time in the limelight was brief, with several of their members going on to bigger and better things by decade's end, the California Ramblers stand as the quintessential white dance band of the 1920s.
