BEST BROAD CASTS OF 1939-40 Music. — ( Orchestra ). “St. Louis Blues ” . . . segue to “ Noc¬ turne ” . . . hold under. Voice. — “Well, that’s music,” John Kirby said. You take a band and you work hard. You play and you think and you talk your music and pretty soon it gets right, the rhythm flowing, the reeds deep, the bass beating behind to let the horns ride over. We felt good, we felt right, and our music kept cornin’. Russ Procope we had on sax, and John himself on bass, and we played ’em down the way we made them, the way John Kirby said. Music. — ( Orchestra ). Theme up and down for Announcer. — Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been listening to Flow Gently Sweet Rhythm, a new Columbia series featuring John Kirby and his orchestra. With the six men who make that marvelous music, you heard the Golden Gate Boys and the first lady of swing Ella Fitzgerald. John Kirby’s numbers today included: “Then I’ll Be Happy,” “Hawaiian War Chant,” the sextette from “Lucia,” “It Feels so Good,” and “St. Louis Blues.” While Ella Fitzgerald sang “Sugar Blues” and “The Starlit Hour.” “Job,” from the “Old Songs Hymnal,” and “Rock Island Line” were by the Golden Gate Boys. Join us again next Sunday. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. 326
