Dearest Hopes. In 1914 the Malmö Conference of the Three Kings agreed that Scandinavia would try to keep out of World War I while trading to beat the band with all belligerents. Last week in Stockholm it was already clear that World War II is not going to be any picnic for neutrals, but faces them at the outset with grim threats to their independence. Getting right down to cases, Finnish Foreign Minister Eljas Erkko asked Swedish Foreign Minister Rickard J. Sandier, Danish Foreign Minister Peter Munch and Norwegian Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht what concrete assistance, if any, their...

Crosby's bunch was covered here briefly last week. Most important thing to understand about the band is that their rhythm is completely different from that played by most bands of today. It is two beats to a phrase, instead of four. As a result, you get a style of jazz that is more staccatto, with shorter melodic phrases, and all sorts of trick rhythmic effects achieved thru breaking up the beat. In other words, this is a white man's way of playing jazz, as opposed to the colored man's more lagging, slurring attack of long phrase...
