...London curtailing their classical recording sessions in the U.S., DGG is moving into the vacuum with all the muscle its considerable financial resources will permit. Among the bonuses this may yield to the opera buff: DGG is said to be negotiating to record the Met's new Carmen next September, with Marilyn Home in the title role and Leonard Bernstein conducting...
Harvard coach Joe Restic polled his players last month on both questions. He said last week that the vote was "better than four to one in favor of playing a tenth game."

...stuffed 48 of his latest songs into his attache case and hopped a jet for Hollywood. There, after hiring a Capitol Records studio, he gathered together his arranger-conductor (Jazz Great Benny Carter), a crack 49-piece band (including Saxophonist Bud Shank, Drummer Louis Bellson, Guitarist Barney Kessel), Vocalists Carmen McRae and Joe Williams, and a chorus of twelve.
