...recent stuff, but I've burned gallons of midnight oil listening to Louie and Bessie Smith. All I'm asking from a lot of critics is that they try to be a little more fair in their judgments. They would do well to listen to Woody Herman and Charlie Barnet, before they dismiss them, by saying with amused tolerance: "It's pretty good, but it's commercial." Mike Levin, who wrote the best swing column Harvard ever saw, harped on this for two years, for all the good...
...Just the thing for those who want to dig a rhythm section that doesn't have to sweat in order to swing. . . . Best solo of the week comes from Eugene Cedric's tenor sax, on My Mommie Sent Me To The Store, a BLUEBIRD recording by Fats Waller. . . . Charlie Barnet's arrangement of Night and Day (BLUEBIRD), gives new life to the old tune. The reverse, Wild Mab of the Fish Pond, features some very super-Ellington orchestration. . . . Latest on the New Goodman band: Earl Hines on piano. Keep you fingers crossed

...Contrasts," his theme song and the best record Jimmy Dorsay has made in some time. This is a really unusual record, beautifully recorded with James playing superb six... "Beautiful Dreamer"-more Stephen Foster by Cana Loma, and well done... "No Name Jive," by Charlie Barnet, shows once again how few ideas are in this band, how noisy ... while on the contrary we elect Woody Horman to the post of "Power House King" for his "Get Your Boots Laced Poppa." If you like tremendous drive-here it is-two full sides...
...Charlie Barnet is scheduled to do six twelve inch sides on Otto Cesana's "Symphony in Swing"--the longest jazz yet recorded . . . Bob Crosby's band gets some punch it has long needed with Doc Rando going in at third sax and Hank D'Amico going in shortly at lead. This will give the band three great clarinetists: D'Amico in the New York style and Rando and Fazola in the New Orleans style . . . Eddla Durham is starting a band--big news since he was responsible for much of the Lunceford-Basie-Savit success...
