...Hawkins and Chu Berry, has never received half the recognition he deserves. Yet what he does on this session (for my money he's far and (away the star) should end all arguments as to his qualifications for the big league. Billy Kyle, who plays piano in a driving rhythmic style which might be described as super-Wilson, has for some inexplicable reason taken a back seat to Jess Stacy, Hines, and Joe Sullivan. However his work on these records (take for example his long chorus on The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise) shows him to be definitely...
...London cool, Stockholm warm. When he reached Vienna, the city went wild. Haines taught the Viennese to waltz on ice. They formed the Vienna School of Skating, founded the International Style, now universally used by figure skaters. Haines never returned to the U. S., never lived to see his rhythmic technique accepted by his native land. He died in 1879, while traveling from St. Petersburg to Stockholm, was buried in the little Finnish village of Gamla-Karleby. Thirty years later, Manhattan Socialite Irving Brokaw, after winning an international prize in Switzerland, brought the International Style of skating back...
...Compiègne. Residents of Manhattan's German colony sat chilled and stilled in their seats. With fine photography, which in itself emphasizes (in contrast to Russia's Mannerheim Line) the martial superiority of Teutons over Slavs, the picture shows the German Army's crushing, rhythmic power; patience and proficiency in arms; perfect planning and instant, athletic response to commands. In this picture is the other side of the retreat to Dunkirk; the blasting of Tournai; the whining accuracy of the Stukas (divers); the plod and dash-as occasion required-of German soldiers afoot or on horses...
...thirty-two bar choruses full of technique and nothing else. I realize that it has a terrific commercial appeal: witness what Krupa's pyrotechnics did for the Goodman band three years ago. But at the same time, Krupa had something else on the ball, an intangible rhythmic sense that makes all the difference in the world between a good drummer and a lousy one. It's all right to play flash now and then. I get a lot of kicks out of a good technician like Ray McKinley when he takes off for twenty minutes while Will Bradley...
...evidence, he goes to the great apes, nearest kin to man. They show - and inherit - wide differences of personality. Gorillas like to thump their chests. Both gorillas and chimpanzees do crude dances and rhythmic poundings, but orangs and gibbons do not. By people who have studied them closely, gibbons are usually described as shy, gentle, amiable, affectionate. Gorillas are reserved, deliberate, discreet. Chimpanzees are lively, responsive, emotionally unstable. These temperamental differences are obviously not due to variations in the natural habitat, for animals born in captivity manifest them. Moreover, at this stage, differences between individual members of the same species...
