Consistently, they've managed to come out with some of the most interesting records ever issued. Take a listen at Bei Mir Bist' Louis Armstrong's Shadrack, Crosby's and Boswell's Bob White, Fitzgerald's A-Tisket A-Tasket, Crosby's and Mercer's Small Fry — and all the rest. Now they've done it agaiti with the Andrews Sisters' new series. The Andrews had begun to slip back from that peak set by their original recording of Bei Mir. Decca has revived them for a long time to come with the release of Sha! Sha! and Tu-IA-Tulip Time. The orchestra is Jimmy Dorsey's— which makes it perfect. Other items in this month's products that deserve your attention are : SWING Two recordings by Lionel Hampton boasting some never-to-be-duplicated sax work and Lionel himself : Shoe Shiners Drag and I'm in the Mood for Swing and Muskat Ramble, backed by Ring Dem Bells (Victor). A-Tiskct is dead, but Teddy Wilson's record isn't. It features a great six-piece combination and Nan Wynn's singing. The other side is Note It Can Be Told (Brunswick). Count Basie, now being boomed as having the greatest colored swing band (which it isn't, because it can't compare with Ellington's), does a good job in the nursery rhyme tradition. The tunes? London Bridge Is Falling Down and Stop Bcatin 'Round the Mulberry Bush (Decca). T. Dorsey is here with a great collection of material. Novelty : I'll See You In My Dreams, done like Marie, and Stop Bcatin 'Round, a tune of which Tommy is practically the father. Sweet and terrific : The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, backed by Copenhagen. Swing : The Clambake Seven in The Sheik of Araby and Chinatown, My Chinatown (Victor). Just to prove to yourself that my last month's rave about Art Shaw was deserved, get these Shaw numbers : Vocation has Nightmare and It's a Long, Long Way to Tippcrary. Bluebird has Indian Love Call, coupled with Begin the Beguinc, plus Back Bay Shuffle and Any Old Time. You've never heard anything quite like them. No matter what the tune, you can always depend on the Duke. The Ellington recordings of the month have Watermelon Man with Love In Swing time, which is a little better than the coupling of Lambeth Walk and Prelude to a Kiss (Brunswick). An abbreviated Ellington band plays under the Johnny Hodges label. You'll like A Blues Serenade and Jitterbug's Lullaby (Vocalion). Jimmy Dorsey's Change Partners and The Yam (Decca) are right up there with the best. His Love Is Where You Find It and Garden of the Moon aren't. Gene Krupa still comes along. You'll approve of his Rhythm Jam. It's backed by the slower You're as Pretty as a Picture (Brunswick). Two oldies are done up by Larry Clinton : Milenberg Joys and Dipper Month (Victor) — both worth your while. Larry has also coupled Berlin's The Yam and Change Partners. Bea Wain can take a bow on them. SWEET Al Donahue's is a smooth sophisticated outfit. Examples are Lambeth Walk and Stop Bcatin' 'Round (Vocalion). Henry Busse, complete with the wa-wa corn of his trumpet, is on hand with two more Berlin ditties — I Used To Be Color Blind and The Night Is Filled With Music. You might also try Bambino and Don't Cross Your Fingers (Decca). Hal Kemp, too, has recorded the two Berlin tunes worked over by Busse. Nice work — but I still wish Kemp could find that old style of his. It was much superior. Bob Allen's vocals, however, are a large help. VOCALS Ella Logan, the girl who started to swing the old Scotch ballads a long time ago, has done two new ones. Her kindly treatment of The Blue Bells of Scotland and My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean (Brunswick) are both good. The first of the Decca records by the Merry Macs are good vocal work. You can have Sto/> Bcatin' and Pop Goes the Weasel or On the Bumpy Road to Love and There's Honey on the Moon Tonight. Bea Wain, who has decided to leave Clinton to free-lance, is the principal attraction on a new recording by Larry. She sings the operatic My Heart is Thy Sweet Voice and the ancient A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cozv (Victor). Good luck, Bea. CLASSICAL If you really want some fun along the classical lines, get hold of Victor's Lieutenant Kijc Album. Recorded by Koussevitsky, it is the music from a popular Russian film. Good blues, lively tunes and a lot of musical humor. Popular Debussey's Iberia is the other ace of the month. Conducted by John Barbirolli and played by the New York Philharmonic, the album definitely belongs in any growing collection. Arthur Fiedler's Boston "Pop" Orchestra does a varied job — everything from a minuet to swing — on Pop Goes the Weasel (Victor). Then they've also done a twopart arrangement of the Skaters Walts. Both of these old standbys are good. Another charmingly entertaining collection is the album of the Fantastic Toy Shop. Ballet music, it is played by the London Philharmonic, conducted by Eugene Goossens (Victor). Marian Anderson, great contralto, sings two of the spirituals of her own race : Trampin and / Know Lord Laid His Hands On Me (Victor). An unforgetable record. —J. M.
