Since my previous video by the extremely obscure Danny Yates Orchestra (only 3 known sides) was inexplicably rejected, I am trying this one, hoping for a more successful outcome. The California Ramblers were a popular and prolific jazz group from the 1920s, that recorded hundreds of songs under many different recoræd labels throughout the 1920s. Three of the members of the band, Red Nichols, Jimmy Dorsey, and Tommy Dorsey, would go on to front big bands in later decades. The original bandmembers were from Ohio, but chose the name California Ramblers because they thought people would be less inclined to listen to a jazz band from the Midwest. They recorded for nearly every independent label in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., using over 100 unique aliases. This excellent record was made in 1929. The vocal was credited to Jim Andrews, allegedly Irving Kaufman.
