Andy Kirk, though virtually unknown nowadays outside of jazz circles, led one of the hottest swing bands in the country during the 1930s, rivaling Basie’s. His band, the Clouds of Joy, also introduced some of the biggest names in jazz, most notably Mary Lou Williams.Kirk grew up in Denver, Colorado, where he came under the musical tutelage of Paul Whiteman’s father, Wilberforce Whiteman. His first job, as bass saxophonist and tuba player, came with the George Morrison Orchestra in 1918. In 1925 he relocated to Dallas and joined Terence Holder’s Dark Clouds of Joy, a band he eventually took over in 1929, changing the name to the Clouds of Joy (sometimes known as the Twelve Clouds of Joy, depending on the number of musicians in the band).
