Listening to the pianistics of Errol Garner usually makes for a fine evening of music, but trying to buy a specific Errol Garner disc usually results in an afternoon of frustration. One record shop we visited had Errol Garner records under twelve different record company labels! The prolific young pianist has made so many records for so many companies that it's a tough job to find the one you want. Might be a good idea for
someone to issue a special Garner catalogue!

There is a strong possibility that the days of the big-name dance bands may be coming around again. Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman and now, Artie Shaw are once again waving their batons in front of dance bands — rather than show bands. Then, too, there are such up-and-coming groups as Ray Anthony, Ralph Flanagan, Claude Thornhill, Elliot Lawrence, and Sam Donahue. The old stand-bys — groups that never did give up — include Charlie Barnet, Bob Chester, Sammy Kaye, Guy Lombardo and Alvino Rey. It would be wonderful once again to have ballrooms and campuses resounding with little else but good, danceable music.
