Andy Kirk & His Clouds Of Joy Jukebox Hits 1936-1949 CD New 824046407728

Andy Kirk studied music under Wilberforce Whiteman, father of Jazz pioneer Paul Whiteman. Kirk started playing bass and tuba in Denver with George Morrisons band, and in 1925 he joined Terrence Holders Dark Clouds Of Joy. In 1929 he took over leadership of the band (which was renamed Andy Kirks Twelve Clouds Of Joy) and moved to Kansas City. During 1929-30 they recorded some excellent hot performances with such players as Mary Lou Williams and violinist Claude Williams. In 1936 the band relocated to New York and immediately had two huge pop hits. First, a version of Fletcher Hendersons theme, Christopher Columbus and then with the original version of the now standard ballad Until The Real Thing Comes Along.\n\n \n \n\nDisc 1\n\nTrack\n\nTitle\n\nArtist\n\n1\n\nChristopher Columbus\n\nAndy Kirk & His Clouds of Joy\n\n2\n\nUntil The Real Thing Comes Along\n\nAndy Kirk & His Clouds of Joy\n\n3\n\nWhat Will I Tell My Heart\n\nAndy Kirk & His Clouds of Joy\n\n4\n\nDey
