An ongoing project:

THE CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS

(and other ED KIRKEBY GROUPS!)

Here are some developments in our continuing attempt to come up with a comprehensive toasting of the CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS and related Ed Kirkeby-managed bands. A complete series, particularly of the Ramblers unit itself, is a long way off, but Toast of New York is on the case! For a complete list of all our Ramblers-related projects, click here!

At last: THE COMPLETE GOOFUS FIVE. As of July 2002, All three volumes are in. The last one had one track that took forever to find ("Alma Mater Georgia Tech" of all things!) but it was worth the wait, because this is a truly wonderful band, a great Ramblers/Kirkeby spin off band and truly worth doing complete. Lots of great Adrian Rollini!

Nestor leaps in with his own volume of CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS / VARSITY EIGHT!

A work in progress: the legendary J. E. M. presents a series of ASSORTED RAMBLER-IANA. With special thanks to JIMBO! We're NOT distributing these discs yet - consider this page a sneak preview. Hopefully between JEM and JIMBO we will soon have massive amounts of the Ramblers and Kirkeby bands available!

Mr. Bumby is proud to Present: BLUEBIRD RAMBLERS ASSORTMENT Tom calls this one "the incredibly incomplete Bluebird Ramblers." I think that our title cuts him a little more slack. A mix of Ramblers and Kirkeby-related recordings on Bluebird, 1935-1936, some fascinating stuff, plus two unissued tracks by JOE VENUTI.

Jimbo PresentsTHE CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS, ADRIAN ROLLINI and COMPANY Here is where you'll find Jimbo's excellent collections of THE UNIVERSITY SIX and ADRIAN ROLLINI, freelancer. The VARSITY EIGHT is coming soon!

The latest: ADRIAN ROLLINI and JOE VENUTI RARITIES! You won't believe some of the stuff these dudes have dug up!
