“Bimbo” – Clarence Williams and his Orchestra (1933)

Recorded on September 1, 1933
Released as Vocalion 2778

Whenever I hear a Clarence Williams record start off with the scratchy syncopated washboard playing of Floyd Casey, I know it’s gonna be good.

This record is no exception: “Bimbo” by Clarence Williams and a small washboard band (labeled as an “orchestra”) that also featured Ed Allen on cornet, Cecil Scott on clarinet, and an unknown guitarist.

A real treat to listen to – enjoy!
