		Andy Kirk was never a topnotch instrumentalist, composer, arranger or personality, yet he parlayed his musical talent, organizational skills and a series of lucky breaks into an enormously successful career as a bandleader.
		Although his musical legacy is not as great as that of rival bandleaders Benny Moten and Count Basie, Andy Kirkâs Clouds of Joy was one of the most popular big bands during the heyday of jazz in Kansas City and one of the first regional orchestras from the southwest to achieve national prominence.
		Andrew Dewey Kirk was born in Kentucky and raised in Denver, where he played the tuba and bass saxophone with a local orchestra.

		Andy Kirk led one of the swing era's essential bands, a group that emerged in Kansas City in 1929 in the heated Kansas City milieu of the Walter Page and Bennie Moten bands.
		An essential component of Kirk's success was the presence of Mary Lou Williams, who helped define the band's style, both as a pianist and composer.
		After a six-year break in which Kirk's band did not record, they emerge as a full-blown and fluid swing band on Williams's "Walkin' and Swingin'." One of the band's most popular numbers, it's just one of this CD's high points.

		If the sale of Andy (and Greaves) pays off some of the debts and keeps the creditors happy, then, unfortunatly, so be it.
		great to know that kirk has gone to northampton although we still have to play them, however asamoah seems a good catch and i feel that havin him in the side will be good (as long as his ball controls better than franny greens) lol.
