Bohumir Kryl was among the greatest cornet soloists of his era, easily fitting in with Herbert L. Clarke, Walter F. Smith and Albert Bode. Born in Horice, Bohemia 5/2/1875 the son of stone mason and sculptor, he indeed learned this craft. He ran away with a circus at age 11 and performed as an acrobat and trapeze artist. It was during this time he took up the cornet and after only two weeks he was playing in the street parades common when the circus first arrived in town. After a serious accident he left the circus to come to America. Ever the industrious one, he played violin and cornet with the ship's orchestra to pay for his passage.

He headed West to Indianapolis where family friends had settled and he did sculpt the form of Ben Hur as well as working on the Soldiers' and Saliors' Monument in Indianapolis. At this time he was also playing with the When Clothing Company Band as solo cornet.

He played with the Sousa Band from 1894 through 1898, first as an assistant to Albert Bode, then Walter F. Smith eventually he became the solo cornetist. He left Sousa's Band for TP Brooke's Chicago Marine Band for two year, then on to the Duss Band at Madison Square Garden. in 1902 he accepted the solo cornet chair on the Innes Band. His first experience was to play two solo's per concert on a four month transcontinental tour (over 150 not including encores!).

He formed his own band and toured with them extensively. He recorded for a phenomenal number of companies including Victor, Edison, Zonophone, Pathe, Berliner and Norcross. As an example of his playing ability I would invite you to listen to Edison 2 minute 8253 (Carnival of Venice). Here in a brief two period he spans the range of pedal C to double high C (four octaves) and exhibits all the double and triple tongue fireworks of his contemporaries. He was extremely popular and hence his recordings are easy to find.

After a kurfuffle with the American Federation of Musicians he ceased all musical activity.

He died in Wilmington, NY 9/71961.

Dan Reed

Rust is no help on this because it's neither a jazz nor dance band record, so he doesn't list it in those tomes; the Victor Master Book Vol 2 shows instrumentation and says Gershwin plays piano and celeste, ditto his 1976 Compleat Entertainment Discography.? Wikipedia says the Victor Symphony was drawn from the Philadelphia Symphony.? That's as close as I've been able to get to finding out who played the trumpet passages.? Anybody out there got any clues, I'd love to hear 'em.
