California Ramblers -1926 - I Wonder Whats Become of Joe?

Dedicated to my friend lepaysandu
a Hot foxtrot on Edison by the
California Ramblers.
Features a great bass sax solo by Adrian Rollini.
Another great trombone solo by Abe Lincoln!
Has an early piano solo by new band member Jack Russin.
Roy Johnston plays the powerful jazzy trumpet lead.
recorded May 11, 1926
The extended 4 minutes of Edison disc playng time
lets the band really shine!.

Hi Biff ! 'est un disque superbe !! Merci pour la dédicace ! Quel belle machine, je n'ai jamais vue d'Edison comme avec un pavillon comme sa, ni se reproducteur. Mais quel sons superbe! "California Remblers" est pour toujours un de mes orchestre favori! Seulement dans les 20's!!! Merci !! Sa me va droit au cœur !

Loved this presentation.Never saw a reproducer quite like that one.

Thanks for sharing this gem. As a schoolgirl I lived in a S.England hostel and in the common room was a pile of well worn ill cared for records (mainly male tenors) and a player similar to this. When the voice changed you had to rush and quick turn the handle - I loved it - probably where my interest in record and players originated.

Super!
Well done!

You did e fine job on this video.Love your introduction.By the way this is a different version version than mine off Columbia.

[@lepaysandu]

Do il again, I like it!
Oui, je l'aime beaucoup cette Edison, et je pence aussi a se "Poor old man" qui n'aimait pas le Jazz...
La version par OPSO est très hot aussi...
Thanks again.

Interesting to compare the California Ramblers version with the Little Ramblers recording of the same song

I think he met Sally!

Bro, you are so funny! Brilliant retort.

2reeler Abe Lincoln parece copiar a Kid Ory. Very Nice art work.

[@Lucius1958]

Nice tune……… but the Frankenphone is disappointing. Why couldn't you play it on an actual Edison machine?

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks again.
