Columbia: The old professor, Kay Kyser, Dolly Mitchell, and the trio, do “Ac-CentTchu-Ate” and “Like Someone In Love.” Tommy Tucker is back on wax with “My Heart Sings,” sung by Don Brown and The Two Timers, with Don doing double duty on “Don’t Ever Change.” The great Benny Goodman Quintet, appearing in “Seven Lively Arts,” do two of the numbers from the show, “Ev’Ry Time We Say Goodbye” and “Only Another Boy and Girl.” Peggy Mann is featured on the first side and Jane Harvey is on the reverse. Drumaestro Gene Krupa and his orchestra have a pleasing duo in “I Walked In,” lyricized by Buddy Stew¬ art, and the G-Noters swing out on “I’ll Remember Suzanne.” If you liked the music from “Okla¬ homa,” and who didn’t, be sure to get the “Oklahoma Medley,” which in¬ cludes all the songs from the show, done in the masterful style of Andre Kostelanetz and his orchestra. Les Brown has a good twosome in “Twilight Time,” done as an instru¬ mental, and “Sentimental Journey,” with Doris Day taking the musical trip. Ginny Simms’ new one is “This Heart of Mine” and “I’m In A Jam” (with Baby). Ginny’s radio conductor, Edgar Fairchild, is the baton man. The old favorite, “When Your Lover Has Gone,” has been recorded by Harry James, with plenty of trumpet in evidence. “The Horn” and his quin¬ tet get together for “I’m Confessin’ ” on the other side. Ray Noble and his orchestra give us “Sweet Dreams, Sweetheart” and “How Bright The Stars,” with Larry Stewart’s vocals. The latter tune was adapted from Ray’s “Indian Suite.” Count Basie and his solid aggrega¬ tion, are in for “I Didn’t Know About You,” sung by Thelma Carpenter, and a typical Basie number, “Red Bank Boogie.” Capitol: Liltin’ Martha Tilton has recorded two fine ballads, “I Should Care” and “Stranger In Town,” with Paul Weston’s orchestra. “Stranger” was written by Mel Torme, the talented singer-drummer-arranger, who is heard on the Fitch Bandwagon show. Johnnie Johnston fans will like his platter of “What A Sweet Surprise” and “My Heart Sings.” Paul Baron’s orchestra and arrangements. Inciden¬ tally, Johnnie was recently signed for a return engagement to New York’s Capitol Theatre, where he made such a hit on his first appearance. • The Pied Pipers and Paul Weston do a swell job on “Dream” and “Tabby The Cat.” You’ll remember “Dream” as the beautiful theme song on Johnny Mercer’s Chesterfield show. Stan Kenton’s band does “Ev’Ry Time We Say Goodbye” with a Gene Howard vocal, and on the flipover, Anita O’Day warbles a jivey thing, “Are You Livin’, Old Man?” which should prove to be as big a seller as Kenton’s “And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine.” Jam Notes: Eileen Barton is going off the Si¬ natra show, and will probably be set on a new radio commercial shortly. . . . “The Voice” has been taking it a bit slow since he dropped “The Hit Parade,” and has been spending a lot of time in Palm Springs, resting be¬ fore he starts his new picture for R.K.O. . . . Speaking of “The Hit Pa¬ rade,” I don’t particularly relish Lawrence Tibbett as a replacement for Sinatra. I’ve always liked Tibbett, but I just don’t think he belongs on that program. . . . Tommy Dix, who clicked in his first film, “Best Foot Forward,” and then went into the army, has been playing night clubs in the east since his medical dis¬ charge. He was a big hit at Manhat¬ tan’s veddy chic Persian Room at the Plaza Hotel. . . . Sgt. David Rose, the composer-conductor, who has been very ill, is reported much im¬ proved. . . . Jane Froman has made a sensational comeback after her tragic clipper crash a couple of years ago, and is planning a nation wide concert tour this summer. . . . Charlie Spivak is the latest band leader to form his own music publishing com¬ pany. . . . Spike Jones has been kill¬ ing the people in theatres, especially with his rendition of “Holiday For Strings,” which is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Spike hopes to record it for Victor soon. ... Jo Staf¬ ford is going to solo it from now on, and made her debut in the night club field at La Martinique in New York. . . . Buddy Rich will probably form his own band when his contract with Tommy Dorsey is up in May. . . . Eddie Condon’s Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert orchestra has been signed by Decca. . . . Tommy Dorsey is chang¬ ing male vocalists again. Freddy Stewart is out, and his successor will probably be an unknown. . . . Ginnie Powell cut out from the Gene Krupa band and may take one of the many studio contracts which have been offered her. * * * Well, good people, this is it for now.
