“Lux” Lewis. Published in a spec
ial folder, it consists of four 12
inch "ides representing 20 min
utes of improvising, the longest
and most pretentious solo piano
recording in jazz history.
If ever there has been greater
blues piano than this, I have
never heard it. At no point does
the music lag. Using the mood
and technique employed on his
recent Melancholy and Solitude,
ho at tinvs seems ready to bor
row certain phrases from those
pieces, then nuddenly changes in
to new and breathtaking melodic
lines that sparkle in tlyir ori
ginality. His right hand is by
turn gay and sad; there are
moments when delicate figures
aru about to fly to the stars only
to have his sombre ba»s seize
and anchor them firmly. And it
is equally interesting to note
that Meade’s Blues, strange as it
may seem, has a spiritual kin
s h i p with Lizst’s Hungarian
Khadsody.
Mead» Lux Lewis, playing the
blues from hi* very soul, has set
a standard on these four sides
which will be the despair of most
other artists.
Coleman Hawkins has finally I
started playing the tenor sax
somewhat the way he did before
going to Europe. On SHE’S
FUNNY THAT WAY and MEET
DR. FOO, a Bluebird, his solos
are his best since returning home.
With Reinhardt and Grappelly in
top form, the f'reich Hot Club
Quintet makes hot work of AVA
LON and SWEET SUE for
Royals. This will please both
collectors and jitterbugs. Woddy
! H rman's Decca version of I’M
COMING' VIRGINIA packs a
kick, but his MIDNIGHT
ECHOES is more Ellingtonish
than blue, without the Duke’s
genius.
Pete Johnson and Joe Turner,
who should record more, have a
fine Vocalion of LOVIN’ MAMA
BLUES with Boogie Woogia
Boys, among them Lips Paige on
trumpet. Very good, but not so
the companion CAFE SOCIETY
RAG, featuring Johnson, lux
Lewir, and Albert Ammons with
Turner’s patter. Al Cooper’s Sa- ;
voy Sultans have a good rhythm
section, but tfye melody instru
ments are constantly out of tune.
This spoils their Decca of LIT

ail except those who insist on
tho hottest of jazz. The coupling
is THREE LITTLE FISHIES, «
musical caricature that doesn’t
measure up to his others.
Although is doesn’t equal h^r
Tisket A-Tasket classic, Ella Fitz
gerald's swinging of that old
childhood rhyme, MY VVURBY
DOLLY, should click with the
public. The reverse of this Deeca
is a modern version of YOU’RE

bulls tye is scored by the rhythm
man Hylton Sisters on the Var.
sity of TIN ROOF BLUES. It’s
sultry as u 90 degree night. The
coupling, THREE LITTLE
MAIDS, is likewise swell. One of
Gene Krupa’s most polished and
relaxed double” of the year is his
HODGE PODGE and ON THE
BEAM a Columbia. Both sides
are definitely in the groove. The
all-star combination headed by
Jess Stacy produces some of the
Ij’st jazz turned out by any white
group in NONI and JESS STAY
the latter a blues, on Varsity.
With all the boys getting in
their hot licks, John Kirby takes
ROYAL GARDEN BLUES for a
royal swing ride on Vocalion. It’s
happy and carefree. But on
BLUE SKIES the other side, the
boys have substituted mere clev
< rness for good jazz. There’s a i
white trumpet play r named Lee |
Costaldo who has studied Louis
Armstrong carefully leading off
on UPRIGHT ORGAN BLUES
by Glenn Hardman’s Hammond
Fiva on Columbia. On the other
side he plays in the Bix tradition
on JAZZ ME BLUES. Lesl^r
Young’s tenor is tremendous on
both sides and Hardman employs
a guitar technique to get inter
esting effects from his organ.

A Prominent Business
Woman Praises Mme.C.J.
Walker's Preparations
‘‘I use Mme. C. J. Walker's
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late\
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker's won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can
write The Mme. C. J.'Walker
Mfg. Company, direct. Address:
The Walker Building, Indian
