Victor 22640 vs Brunswick 4653 Casey Jones Special

Post by Vinrage_mania »

ok I know both are Andy Kirk and His 12 “clouds of joy “...when they are not Blanche and her Joy boys that is not the odd part
the record is on Two different labels ,three if you count the British Parlorphone how is that possable? .I have not looked at recording dates yet but really odd

Interesting--are the Casey Jones records similar arrangements?
I have the Brunswick 4653 listed in my Trader post but I haven't heard the Victor recording.

Vinnie, you are on to something.

Two different recording dates and locations- Calloway March 1931 in Camden and Kirk November 1929 in Kansas City, but Calloway's personnel is basically the Kirk band of 1930 with Mary Lou Williams and Andy Kirk himself on this session.

Seems Kirk was on hiatus (or likely forced hiatus due to the Depression) at Brunswick during this time (last Brunswick session was December 1930), and didn't begin recording again until signing with Decca in 1936.
