...jobs done several years ago, and featuring pretty nearly every white musician worth listening to. Among the offerings are Panama by Jimmy McPartland, Jazz Me Blues by the Bob Crosby Bob Cats, Swingin' on the Famous Door by the Delta Four (how did Roy Eldridge get into this), Decca Stomp by Red Norve, and Tin Roof Blues by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings including Wingy Mannone and George Brunies. There's a small descriptive booklet with the album, written by Dave Dexter, Jr., Associate Editor of Down Beat...
NEWS AND NEW RELEASES: Four sides by Benny Goodman have finally come out on COLUMBIA, and they're everything you could ask for. First coupling is by the band: Nobody, and Henderson Stomp. Nobody is a swell pop tune sung by Helen Forest, who seems to be more and more influenced by Billie Holiday. The arrangement is very good; ideal for dancing.

Highlights: Cootie Williams with the Sextet, playing half an hour straight, including...
...within driving distance and probably worth going to see. A not-so-wild rumor says Cootie Williams will be with him. Ellington's loss is Goodman's gain, but I can't see Cootie with anyone but the Duke...Record of the week is Special Delivery Stomp by Artie Shaw's Gramercy Five (VICTOR). Featured is Billy Butterfield, whose muted trumpet beats Muggsy at his own game. Also heard are Johnny Guarneri, playing a harpsichord (!),, and Nick Fatool, whose drumming is reminiscent of Krupa at his best. Whole record jumps like hell. Reverse in Keepin' Myself For You, and makes...
