Copyright, 1937— Astrol Co. 76 one of the Rhythm Boys, the trio that spawned the era of Crosbyana, Anna. Long may his tonsils wave! (Decca) PEGGY LEE: "Manana," "All Dressed Up with a Broken Heart." Hey, Pedro, where is the material? Mrs. Barbour needs some after this waffle. "Manana" was clefted by Mr. and Mrs. B. on a Brazilian kick, but is tres trite and not much "hoppens." Well, you can't write stuff like "Ain'tcha Ever Comin' Back" every time. T'other face is nowhere, too. Just a waste of a style that can ordinarily drop its anchor in my ear any day. But not on these, Louise. After "Golden Earrings," this is a scrawny cookie. (Capitol) JOHNNY MERCER AND THE PIED PIPERS: The Georgia cracker on the lacquer — battin' out a barrage of groovey fromage with those ever-lovin' Pipers. There's a hunk or advice for you heavy-breathing Harrys — "Never Make Eyes at a Gal with a Guy Who Is Bigger Than You," or you'll find that frame in a horizontal position. Flip is "That's the Way He Does It," 'bout a cat with some peculiar habits, maybe like raw snails, sauteed slowly in lamb fat and peanut oil— but so what! Then J.M dips into the score from "Road to Rio" for some Brazilian bounce from the Rio Chamber of Commerce, with that South American moon in your eyes and that Senorita in your arms and that look in her eyes. "You Don't Have To Know the Language," Jack. Everything'll be real cool. Backside's "My Gal Is Mine Once More" from "Inside U.S.A.," with Bea Lillie, on the apple right now. S'an ode to a jack who makes the same mistake twice by rechaining himself to his first spouse. (Capitol) DORIS DAY: My gal "Sparkle Plenty" with that confectionery voice that melts in your ear, dear, and a brace of sugary lumps, "That's the Way He Does It" and "Why Should We Both Be Lonely." Dodo's gonna sparkle like her blonde pate all the way from Brooklyn to Beverly Hills. (Columbia) HIGH BUTTON SHOES: Void, the Victor album of one of the biggest hits of the season, still going strong! All the gay and infectious rebaforbis of this nostalgic delight is snared in this album with its colorful picture of a small burg in 1913. The whole original gang is 'tween the grooves, too. Phil Silvers, Nannette Fabray, Mark Dawson, Lois Lee, etc., with potsful of happy muttering on all those wonderful tunes you've been singin' for so long, "Can't You Just See Yourself," "Nobody Ever Died for Dear Old Rutgers," "There's Nothing Like a Model T," "I Still Get Jealous," "You're My Girl," "On a Sunday by the Sea," "Get Away for a Day," and "Papa, Won't You Dance With Me." Only thing left out is that thrilling ballet about the Mack Sennett era. But you'll be seeing it for sure in the movies some day! (Victor album K 10) VAUGHN MONROE: Ugh-h— the kid with the clothespins on his nose and muscles on his tonsils keeps oozing onto the wax with that frustrated concert baritone. Stop screaming, you Monroe fans! We like the guy, but that voice, hey! Anyhoo, there's "How Soon," Screen land .iteat "True," "Passing Fancy," and "In a Lit tie Book Shop," if you must mistreat your ear. (Victor) GORDON MACRAE: Here's how you can soothe it, though. Just glue it to the tracks of Heather and Meredith's Daddy's freshest waffle, "Thoughtless," and "You Were Meant for Me," from the picture of the same handle. Gordie's larynx is as rich as baked Alaska and just as delish. Vaughn Monroe, please copy. Watch for Mac in Warner Bros, products any time now. He's gonna come on like Gable! (Capitol) DINAH SHORE: Mrs. Montgomery's got those 2 A.M. and 6 A.M. bottle blues these early brights, or maybe its George who feeds that new rascal, but they can always lend the needle to Mom's latest crushed black dumplings to put her to sleep. "The Best Things in Life Are Free," "At the Candlelight Cafe," "In a Little Book Shop" and "I'll Always Be in Love with You." It is such sound as your ear, too, can go for without fear of demeaning itself. Such nice gurgles Melissa's Mama makes. (Columbia) HOT!!! DIZZY GILLESPIE: Watch it, the rafters are rising! The King of Be-Bop bangs out a "Two Bass Hit" right between left and center that'll have you strippin' your gears, dears. 'Tis the sequel to "One Bass Hit" and spots more fine bass work by Ray Brown, Ella Fitzgerald's new hubby. Flipover's another ample sample of the great Gillespie gang that goes just like Jesse James for money in the bank! A boodle of a bop! (Victor) THELONIOUS MONK: D'ya ever hear that name, Thelonious Monk? Well, you will 'cause he's the best known and most admired guy among modern musicians as the originator and genius of "Be-bop." T.M. is a very elusive character and could never be held in one place long enough to be recorded until Blue Note records took enough interest to practically live with him until they waxed a goodly portion of his amazing efforts. These are the first solo efforts of "The Monk" on wax, "Thelonious" and "Suburban Eyes." Guy's completely original and loaded with radical harmonies. On this cookie he surrounds himself with young musicians who are in the same groove, making for a brace of superb faces. (Blue Note) LUCKY THOMPSON: While the badinage is a bop, best bend that bean to Lucky Thompson's most aspicious debut for Victor which gets right to the white meat. Some "gone" cats on both sides — Benny Carter, alto; Dodo Marmarosa, piano; Neil Hefti, trumpet; Barney Kessel, guitar; and Lucky, of course, on tenor sax. "Boppin' the Blues" makes you hang on tightly to keep from soaring right off the planet, Janet, and the flip is lush and like a night at sea, "Just One More Chance," with Lucky on tenor all the way, which ranks with some of the best tenor work ever etched. (Victor) ELLA FITZGERALD: The absolute, irrefutable, unquestionable END! That's Ella! And this waffle's one of her deathless classics reissued by Decca, "Stairway to the Stars" and "Out of Nowhere."
