...instrumental in forming the French recording company called Swing. On his whirlwind visit to this country circa 1938, he did the spade work on Victor's re-issuing program, organized those lusty Mezzrow-Ladnier Quintet sessions on Bluebird, and godfathered one of Basie's best waxings, the Panassie Stomp...
...been bad enough having Harold Ickes slam down his mitt and stomp off the field. Picking a substitute was almost worse. With big Ed Pauley ducking pop bottles, and Harry Truman's Missouri infield hobbling weak grounders, the President's critics were ready to boo almost anyone he sent in. But last week some of them actually found themselves applauding his new Secretary of the Interior, tall (6 ft. 3 in.), huge (237 Ibs.), young (38) Julius Albert Krug, last chairman of the late War Production Board...
...week from Friday night. Of course you can never tell who might sit in. An intriguing possibility presents itself when Louis Armstrong comes to Boston. Since the hand plays a good many of Louis' old tunes, such as "Muskrat Ramble," "Dippermouth Blues,' "Struttin' With Some Barbecue," "Sunset Cafe Stomp," "Big Butter and Egg Man," "Come Back Sweet Papa," and "Squeeze Me," you might stumble into the master himself dipping back into his very colorful past to play again the tunes he likes best but has given up because he now leads a commercial dance band...
Personal Touch. The commander who drilled the Fifth is no martinet. He drove himself, as well as his troops, hard. But in a relaxed sort of way. He does not stomp or rage-or even smoke to ease his nerves. The tauter Mark Clark feels, the quieter he usually becomes.

He does not have General Patton's histrionic flair, or General Eisenhower's command of expletives. Yet he can let off steam with...
...high point of the program, for me, was the duo compositions by Duke's talented protege, Billy Strayhorn, "Dirge" and "Stomp." They are considerably far ahead of anything this young man has done so far, and come close to overshadowing much of Duke's work, on this program at least. The third composition, "Nocturne," was omitted from the Boston concert, but if it's anywhere near as good as the others, it should be reinstated immediately...
