...most likely new tune most competently played . . . Benny Goodman's "The Sheik" keeps up the good standard the sextet has set--and shows for the first time what excellent drumming Nick Fatool is capable of . . .

The Yardling can be an important outlet of Freshman opinion, and can in turn...
Johnny Kirby's "Blue Skies" and "Royal Garden Blues" is the finest example of small group ensemble playing I've heard....Muggay Spanier supposedly disbanded his little Dixteland band because of financial trouble to go back to Ted Weems. But the latest story is that he stayed with Weems till the end of the week and then went back to New York to round up his band...
