...were right. Good Morning, Blues, played by the Moanin' Blowers (bandleader unannounced), was a sneak opening-the first of a dozen 15-minute broadcast spots scattered through the week, featuring a new six-man band led by the screwiest bandster in the business: Raymond Scott (real name: Harry Warnow...
Raymond Scott-brother of Hit Parader Mark Warnow-began his career with a "Quintet" which contained six players, wrote brittle, sophisticated jazz pieces with titles like Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals. In the past year Leader Scott has had a dance band, has toured up & down the land, is proud that he knows how to pronounce names like Manitowoc, Wis.

...most of the 13,000 Stadiumgoers, the real part of the evening began when big, magnetic, broad-smiling Negro Baritone Paul Robeson appeared.

His music, whose deliberate jazz style is so sophisticated that it seems almost a caricature of jazz, has attracted the attention of such musical bigwigs as Igor Stravinsky. Last week Bandleader Paul Whiteman devoted the best part...
Last week, to fight such fake concerns, a committee was organized at the Lambs Club, Manhattan. Members were such big radio-earners as Frank Crumit, Jazzmen Johnny Green and Mark Warnow, Dr. Marion Sayle Taylor ("The Voice of Experience"). At first meeting they reviewed many an instance where innocents had been hoaxed by promising advertisements ("Be a Star in Six Weeks," "A Radio Job for Life"). Many had paid fancy fees on the assurance that a high-priced engagement automatically went with a diploma. The new committee proceeded to chronicle such cases, to warn the public that no authorized "radio...
