(R&coAcL (RinkkL By Bob Phillips Although many people will deny it, the fact that Glenn Miller is on the decline, it's true. His last outstanding hit was "Tuxedo Junction," and, if a band doesn't have hits, it's worshipers dwindle very rapidly. Where does that leave us then ? Will the next band to win fame and fortune be an un known and suddenly burst into the limelight, a la Miller, or will it be some band that is on the band stand at this time? That is the question that you can answer just as well as your neighbor. Well then, who are the leading contend ers. My pick would be Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet and Benny Goodman. Goodman's new band is still practicing and has not been heard yet, but is, nevertheless, still a possibility because of his reputation and consistently fine personnel. Take your pick, start boosting your favorite, and in a few months you can be saving "I told you so." SWING. Rock And Ride Snaky Feelin'. .Harlan Leonard ..Bluebird. This record proves that Jessie Price is not only "The world's flashiest drummer," but is also one of the nations best. Listen to him on the first side of this record. The 'B' side is a slow blues number played very convincingly by the band and sung bv Jimmy Ross. Wild Mab of the Fish Pond Night and Day.. Charlie Barnet ..Bluebird. "Wild Mab" is Baniefs best since "Pompton Turnpike." Listen to the low register growl trom bone in the background. The rec ord itself is another of Earners originals, played at about the same tempo as "Pompton" "Night and Day" is an old favorite done in too fast tempo, but nevertheless is pretty fair although I can't see the significance of the "Yankee Doo dle" riff in it. If It's You Old, Old Castle in Scotland.. ..Artie Shaw. .Victor. Two records featuring Shaw's clarinet, violins, and Anita Boyer. I like the first and the last but the strings spoil the record for me. The first side is the best. Music by the Moon. Bessie's Blues.. Woody Herman . . Decca. Mr. Harman has a fine band and very neatly displays its talent on the second side. The piano tinkling in the background with very intricate rhythm is the high point of the record for me. The first side is a pop tune nicely ar ranged and done more or less straight. SWEET. If I Had My Way Carolina in the Morning.. Ray Noble. .Columbia. Typical big band treatment of two favorites. Listen for the bridge into the vocal in "Carolina" an'! alsp the last chorus on the first tide. i -arc - with r L A u ii II 11 k. i ii i ; u..moVtrey ii 11 i u m h . r - ? m a. m a .1 . !;'!" j Hnc-r1S:M Mil 1 P. m.
