BACHELOR BANDLEADER A PROMISING young bandsman '» who for the past three years has kept his melodic orchestra practically within the confines of Chicago's enormous Aragon ballroom is husky, handsome Dick Jurgens. Dick has worked ever since he was twelve. That was the year his father died. Shortly afterward the family grocery store in Sacramento was sold and additional wage earners were needed. Dick's brother and two sisters were too young to help. The high school lad picked up his trumpet and organized a band composed of fellow students. Six of those boys are still with him. Only three unusual incidents temporarily delayed the band's upward climb as it improved musically, to reach its current pleasing style that Dick insists is "sweet but not sticky." About seven years ago Dick was in an automobile accident that left him with a lip injury. The result was that he couldn't play his trumpet until just recently. Another memorable event occurred when the band was playing a one night stand in a rough, tough mining town known as Mokel Hill, California. The boys were paid to work from nine to one. As they started to pack their instruments away at the appointed hour the noisy, drunken miners rebelled. As if in a Gary Cooper western, the customers reached for their shooting irons and trained them on the slick-haired, scared music;ans. "You kids keep playing till we tell you to stop," growled one of the dancers ominously. They were still tooting away when the sun came up. Some time later Dick faced his toughest decision. The late Andrew Karzas, who built the famous Aragon ballroom, traveled west to audition two bands — Orville Knapp's and Dick's. All that the latter knew about Karzas was that he detested novelty arrangements. "We had no word when Mr. Karzas would come. We were right in the middle of a wild novelty tune which had Ronnie Kemper jumping up and down on the bandstand like a monkey, when I turned around and found the ballroom owner staring at me disgustedly." The Chicagoan returned east next day with Orville Knapp's contract tucked in his pocket. Although disappointed, Jurgens refused to eliminate novelties from his library. "You just can't play beautiful dance music and be a hit. You must have something else, a novelty, an exclusive arrangement, or first choice of a potential popular song." Just like any other bandleader, Dick has vocalist troubles. Eddy Howard, thanks to a tremendous buildup, left him to go it alone. Harry Cool, who used to sing on KMOX, St. Louis, replaced him. Ronnie Kemper left to form his own band. Dick hired Buddy Moreno who was formerly with Griff Williams. Losing these men hasn't bothered Dick too much. He explains why: "I don't put singers under contract. If they want to leave there's nothing that can stop them. They're of no value to us if they're unhappy." During these personnel changes, Dick tried to break tradition and failed. He hired a girl singer, Gloria Gilbert. But letters from female fans poured in. They wanted their band all-male, all-eligible. Gloria was too good looking and might woo away one of their favorites. Dick is most anxious to come east and would like to make his New York debut next spring when his Aragon engagement is concluded. "After all, I haven't got too much time," he says candidly. "In about ten years I'll be washed up because I don't believe you can stay on a bandstand forever. Many who have tried have outlived their usefulness. I'd like to go into the recording business." The 29-year-old leader's life is strictly in the bachelor tradition. He spends several hours a week in a gym, rides regularly, fondles a Doberman-Pinscher and entertains only one woman lavishly. That is his mother, who divides her time between Chicago and Sacramento, where her two daughters live. Although Dick is stacking most of his cash into annuities, he doubts if he will ever marry. Quick-tempered, energetic, and far from the fireside-and-slippers type, Dick says: "I don't think I will ever marry. Where in the world will I find a girl crazy enough to keep up with me?" OFF THE RECORD Some Like It Sweet: Goodnight Mother; Crosstown (Dick Jurgens, Okeh 5730) Patriotic assurances that our boys won't go over there, coupled with a more sprightly tune. Glenn Miller on Bluebird handles the same tune and adds a blues blare called "What's Your Story." Looking For Yesterday; 1 Wouldn't Take a Million (Victor. Tommy Dorsey, 26738). Polished perfection for any dancers. Nearness of You; Blueberry Hill (Connie Boswell, Decca 3366). The neatest warbling of the month. Some Like It Swing: Pennsylvania 6-5000; Beat Me Daddy, Eight to a Bar (Andrews Sisters, Decca 3375). Crisp rug-cutting with a low bow to Vic Shoen's accompanying rhythms. The telephone number belongs to the Hotel Pennsylvania and was inspired by Glenn Miller's engagement there. Martin on Every Block; Charlie Was a Sailor (Lionel Hampton, Victor 26739). Some excellent solo work with the dusky leader on the vibraharp. Calling All Bars; Papa's in Bed (Cab Calloway, Okeh 5731) Noteworthy in a month devoid of any outstanding recordings. The rhythm is solid and Cab's singing is still something to hear. 62 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
