L^ollector d (^i omef BY ELLIOT LAWRENCE {The youthjul Mr. Lawrence came right out of the University of Pennsylvania and into the top of the musicmaking world. After conducting the studio orchestra on WCAU in Philadelphia, he formed his own dance band, started recording for Columbia and became the fastest-rising star on the musical horizon. College dates are the Lawrence band specialty. Here's Elliot's second list for Collector's Corner — his first appeared in an earlier issue. * * * My likes and dislikes in music follow no defined pattern. I like music which pleases me, dislike the kind that rubs me the wrong way. As far as an orchestra's vocalist's interpretation of music goes, I respect the rendition if it proves that the person interpreting it has a knowledge of music. On the other hand there is nothing that makes me throw up my hands more quickly than an interpretation which shows that the bandleader or singer knows nothing whatsoever about music — and believe me, there are many such individuals whose incomes are in six and seven figures annually! Please don't take all this to mean that I'm a prude in my musical tastes. I like all types of music. However, I thoroughly dislike a dishonest or shabby interpretation of any piece of music. In this light I would like to list my ten favorite records, all of which 1 believe are worthy of being in any collection of the finest in music: 1. "Bijou" by Woody Herman — with Bill Harris's wonderful trombone. 2. "Artistry In Rhythm" by Stan Kenton— a thoroughly sincere artist. 3. "Voice of Frank Sinatra" album, my favorite being Frank's superlative rendition of "These Foolish Things." 4. "Tenderly" by Sarah Vaughan, who is one of the finest new singers. 5. "Benny Rides Again" by Benny Goodman — great because of Eddie Sauter's outstanding arrangement. 6. "For You" by "Tommy Dorsey, who is one of my favorite bandleaders. 7. "I Can't Get Started With You" by Leonard Tristano — a great piano solo. 8. Ravel's "La Valse," as rendered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. 9. Brahms' Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Artur Rodzinski. Brahms is my favorite classical composer. 10. "Oo-Pah-Pada" by Dizzy Gillespie— a great be-bop rendition. New Improved Pepsodent Removes FILM Amazingly! In just 7 days— you'll have brighter teeth and fresher breath — or DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK!
