S. ballet fans were once more on the stage of Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House last week.

After she had left him for the last time he wrote her: "There...

The band itself, although not full of individual stars, has that swing peculiar to colored orchestras, giving a good, solid rhythm. Benny's brother, Buster, spells a bit of this disc with his lifeless accordian, but the damage is more than repaired by "Lips" Paige's trumpet work.
