E-35751-A Sophomore - vDR

Ed Kirkeby began managing dance bands and popular artists in 1916, and it is entirely due to his kindness and generosity that we are able to date exactly most records by the California Ramblers, Little Ramblers, Goofus Five, Five Birmingham Babies, Vagabonds, and Varsity Eight, as well as by many blues singers and other recording artists. Many of his records were issued as by TED WALLACE or ED KIRKEBY WALLACE AND HIS ORCHESTRA / CAMPUS BOYS / SWING MUSIC, and those of interest as jazz or hot dance music will be found under such names. (The Goofus Five on Odeon 193248 and 193428, and "Ted Wallace" on Okeh 40788 and Par lophone E-5807 are all credited to ED KIRKEBY AND HIS ORCHESTRA). On March 2, 1931, a session for Banner remade under Ed Kirkeby's direction some sides made for this label under Ben Pollack's direction some days earlier; they were credited to Ben Pollack on issue, and bear the same matrix numbers as the originals. The Spanish Parlophone issue (B-25459) of the Goofus Five is credited to ED KIRKEBY Y SU ORQUESTA. Several sides appeared on various American and British labels as by ED LOYD (sometimes LLOYD) and his Orchestra, but those made under Ed Kirkeby's direction are not as a rule of great jazz interest, those that are will be found under the California Ramblers, Ted Wallace, the Goofus Five, etc.
