...heard, there isn't an awful lot that I can add. However, I would like to mention a fact which impresses me as making the date doubly important, and that is the opportunity given to Ben Webster and Billy Kyle, and of which opportunity they made the very best. Needless to say, Teagarden, Stewart, and Dave Tough are their magnificent selves, as you would expect, and as you've heard on pretty nearly everything they've done. However, a musician like Ben Webster, although his work ranks with that of Coleman Hawkins and Chu Berry, has never received half...
...delightful feature of life in Cambridge is that things run along pretty smoothly without the petty rules on radios, dress, ownership of automobiles, and other needless red tape which plagues the student at most prep schools and at too many colleges. A citizen in the Harvard community is regarded as such. Yet, though the liquor and cut liberalizations were put through here long ago, the parietal rules still lag behind those of Yale and Princeton. At present a Student Council committee is investigating the logic which distinguishes parietal discipline from supervision over the student's other private affairs at college...
...Needless to say, Powers annexed the 220 by a country mile in addition to the clean-cut victory over favored Bob Schaper of Brown in the 100.

But it may equally well be said that only as some men and some institutions, such as the university and the church, preserve that dispassionateness can we be saved from the fallacious hopes and needless fears. In religion, at least, only a study of its history can give us the long range view of spiritual and moral processes, which are our best safeguard against disillusionment and despair. We venture to think that, in spite of many valid criticisms of our curriculum, for its archaic and non-contemporary...
...piano and cornet combination is a pretty famous one in jazz, as the great Bessie Smith used it on many of her recordings. Similarity doesn't stop here, though: Miss Wiley may not have the range that Bessie had, but her singing shows the same rich vibrato and feeling. Needless to say, the instrumental background is impeccable. Jess and Muggsy play unobtrusively, and the way they blend with the vocal results is a kind of jazz you don't hear every day (COMMODORE) ... Ray Noble cuts two swell dance sides for COLUMBIA, Far Away and Sioux Sue. Both are original...
