This happens to be one of the many pseudonyms of the California Ramblers, who were a popular and prolific jazz group from the 1920s, that recorded hundreds of songs under many different record labels throughout the 1920s. Three of the members of the band, Red Nichols, Jimmy Dorsey, and Tommy Dorsey, would go on to front big bands in later decades. The original bandmembers were from Ohio, but chose the name California Ramblers because they thought people would be less inclined to listen to a jazz band from the Midwest. They recorded for nearly every independent label in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., using over 100 unique aliases. This brilliant record was made in 1922. It features one of the first real 1920's signature songs. "The bees knees" was flapper slang referring to a fabulous dancer, and, more generally, to something outstanding. As a sort of visual pun I added some vintage pictures of bathing girls showing off their "bees knees"...
