...proposed reopening of the Copley Square's Hop Scotch Room hit more than the usual number of technical hurdles and so the public debut of Charlie Vinal's Rhythm Kings goes by the boards. The great disappointment is that apparently the band was assured of success. One hundred and forty-six reservations had been made for the first Saturday night by Harvard servicemen alone, with the ASTP and V-12 responsible for the greater part of this surprising figure...
...least, a few people got to hear the Charlie Vinal Rhythm Kings last Sunday, and in its augmented form including trombonist. George Lugg, who was to join the band eventually. Before returning to New York on the N.H.R.R.'s midnight Owl, Lugg went out to Charlie Vinal's that night and recorded eight sides with Charlie, Johnny Windhurst, Ev Schwarz, and Jack Hart. Of course, these records will not be released, although if it weren't for wartime conditions (including my own status) I'd be inclined to issue the four best sides privately.

...Charlie Vinal, Johnny Windhurst, and Ev Schwarz appeared last Sunday at the Jazz Club's ninth session of the season, with George Lugg coming up from New York to lend his trombone to the ensemble. George is currently with Ed Farley's band (which includes Rod Cless and Ken Duvallon of the old Art Hodes Columbia Five which served "Clarinet Marmalade" with bacon and eggs at Childs' 03rd Street Restaurant in New York). Lugg will be going to Canada for the rest of the month with the Farley band, and then opening at the Tic Toc here in town after...
