...first consists of four twelve-inch sides issued by the Hot Record Society, and which I was unable to review when they were released six weeks ago. The band playing is called Jack Teagarden's Big Eight, and includes Teagarden, Rex Stewart (trumpet), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Barney Bigard (clarinet), Billy Kyle (piano), Billy Taylor (bass), and Dave Tough (drums). The tunes are: St. James' Infirmary, Shine, The World Is Waiting for The Sunrise, and Big Eight Blues...
...Burns and Pete Sax fall within the 175-pound bracket. Dug has wrestled in every meet so far, and has lost his bout in only one. Heavyweights Howle Gleason, Doug DeCoster, Dave Vaughan, Bob Burns, and John Corrigan are the present rivals for the top group. Glesson and DeCoster have wrestled in two meets apiece, while 175-pound Pete Sax has fought one scrap for the heavies...
...Back to San Quentin, and Scarlatti would have appreciated what harpsichordist Johnny Guarneri does to some of his own ideas (VICTOR)...Benny Goodman's latest twelve inch recording, Superman, is another elaborate Eddie Sauter orchestration, and features Cootie Williams pyrotechnics all the way through. There's also some tenor sax by Georgie Auld, who gets the same dirty tone out of his horn that Benny likes to use (COLUMBIA)...

Benny Goodman's twelve-inch coupling features a number of things, including Helen Forrest singing The Man I Love, Benny's clarinet, a bit of Cootie's trumpet, the best sax section in the world, and some extremely imaginative orchestration by Eddie Sauter on the reverse, Benny Rides Again. On the latter, Sauter ignores any conventional form and just lets his mood carry him away--with the help of the band (COLUMBIA). . . George Avakian, of Yale and Columbia Records, recently...
...record is the rhythm section, which is second only to the Count's. As a matter of fact, Basic plays piano here, and shares honors with Artic Bernstein (bass), Charley Christians (electric guitar) and Harry Jaeger (drums). Wholly Cats features the surprise of the year: Georgie Auld off tenor sax. Georgie used to be to the sax what Buddy Rich is to drums. Now he's playing swell horn, modelling his style on 'Coleman Hawkins', and you couldn't ask for a better master.... Dillagene, Woody Herman's new vocalist, does a nice job on Five O'clock Whistle, (DECCA...
