Music in the Movies {Continued from page 63) of rhythm. These boys are as different in their style as the Mills Brothers are in their hot style. An unusual recording that we feel sure you'll like. On the other side The Charioteers sing "Peaceful Road," written by Hoagy Carmichael, who gave you "Star Dust" and "Lazy Bones." This song is reminiscent of "The Last Roundup," as the boys produce some unusual vocal harmonies that may strike your fancy. (Decca.) Ray Noble's recording of the song, "Down by the River," from Bing Crosby's film, "Mississippi" is as fine a bit of work as we've heard in some time. This is played by Ray's new band, and although we don't think that it's quite up to his English combo, without a doubt it will get there. The saxes don't have the lift and the rhythm isn't so pronounced but these are offset by the brass work, this section having his former unit stopped a dozen different ways. The genius of Ray Noble's arranging is found in every measure and without doubt, he could pick up a band on a street corner and turn out good records. Al Bowlly is Noble's featured vocalist and although he has had plenty of ballyhoo, we can't get very excited over his work. Bowlly has a pleasing voice, but there are plenty just as good who have never gotten the breaks. Another tune from "Mississippi" is heard on the other side as Ray Noble and his orchestra play "Soon." A slow tempo bit with plucked fiddles and the brass cut short. Another example of Noble's versatility, with Al Bowlly doing the vocal chorus. (Victor.) "TT'S AN OLD SOUTHERN CUSf TOM" is next and it's played by Leo Reisman and his orchestra. This melody is from George White's "Scandals of 1935" and is a typical southern show tune. Reisman does a surprisingly good job of recording, good all the way through, with a bit of trumpet work that does much to make the record a success. Phil Duey is the vocalist. Another tune from the Scandals is on the other side. "According to the Moonlight" is the title and it's also played by Leo Reisman and his orchestra. Again we have nothing but praise for Reisman. Most leaders play this song to a fairly fast tempo, with the result that much of the delightful melody is sacrificed for the sake of rhythm. Reisman converts it into an excellent slow tempo dance number that is very pleasing to say the least. Again it's Phil Duey who does the vocal chorus. (Brunswick.) PROM the film, "Reckless," Richard Himber and his orchestra select and play the number, "Everything's Been Done Before." Needless to say, Himber turns out a fine platter. It is a smooth rhythmic melody with a nice vocal bit by Joey Nash. You ought to go for this. "Beyond the Shadow of a Doubt," also from Reckless, is played on the reverse side. Jan Garber and his orchestra do the recording, and if you are a Garber fan, no doubt you will find this entertaining. Played in the approved Garber-Lombardo-Kassel fashion, this one, like "Old Man River," just keeps rollin' along. Lee Bennett does the vocal refrain. (Victor.) "T THINK I CAN" is from the pic*■ ture, "Brewster's Millions," the song being written by Ray Noble and in this case played by Jack Jackson and his orchestra. Since Noble left London, Jackson seems to have taken his place, and without doubt, they could have found a much worse substitute. Jackson really has the stuff, and we believe that you'll agree after hearing this record. There is one chorus of French harmony and brass figures that is a masterpiece. You'll like it. Back to this side of the pond as we listen to the other side played by Raymond Paige and his orchestra. "So Lovely and So Sweet" is the title and we certainly find no fault with the recording. The arrangement by Felix Mills coupled with the vocal work by Hugh Grant goes to make a record that is entertaining all the way through. (Victor.) qpED FIO RITO and his orchestra -* entertain us next with the recording of "Got Me Doin' Things" from "Love in Bloom." Fio Rito and his orchestra have changed their style considerably in the last few months and, in our estimation, the change is for the better. The new style tends for more solo work, and we believe that it's always a good idea to let the good men in a band show what they can do. In this case, we enjoyed the accordion and trumpet interludes. Muzzy Marcellino is the featured vocalist. Another song from "Love in Bloom" is heard on the other side as Ted and the boys play "Let Me Sing You to Sleep With a Love Song." A waltz this time and affording an agreeable contrast. It's Howard Phillips who is heard in the vocal chorus. (Brunswick.)
