DON QUIXOTE DE LA
MANCHA.
By Miguel de Cervantes.
A welcome relief from the books
which have been written and re
leased concerning the war in
Europe Is the 1941 edition of
Miguel de Cervantes' famous "Don
Quixote," published by the Book-of-the-Month-Club.
This novel, which has gone
down in history as one of the
most famous of all works of litera
ture, has been illustrated by Hans
Alexander Mueller with over 50
wood engravings in the club's May
and June edition.
Cervantes' novel tells of the ad-
veniurea wi an wwunu. muaigu Quixotes
who adopted the name of Don
Quixote de la Mancha, and whose
brain had become so addled from
reading too many romances on
knighthood that his "wit was
urVir11v evtinp-iiishpfl" and he "fell
that ever madman stumbled on in r j
this world." Broadway start
House Jameson, heard as
"Henry's" father "on the "Aldrich
wisest and most splendid book in
the world." John Cowper Powys
expressed the feelings of most of
those who have read the book
when he wrote that "What I feel
when I close 'Don Quixote' is that
we are all imaginary characters
of some great Cervantes of the
cosmos."
Probably best summarization of
the contents of this book comes
from Seaver when he says, " 'Don
Quixote' sounds the profoundest
depths of folk-wisdom; it reaches
to the highest peaks of poetic
vision. Bef"ft.r these two poles,
in the pa? o t Cervantes, we can
find all t . , umanity knows of
the mystery we call life."
For after all, aren t we all Don

"Brother Rat," and "Garden of

Savitt jazzes
Jan Savitt lets us have it . . .
with full force, on the number one
jazz recording we've heard in a
month. Call side one, "Horizon"
. . . and notice, in the opening
bars, some terrific bull fiddling,
some wild trombone, a bit of
muted trumpet, and a very odd
color . . . but my! my! what a
beat.
The Savitt saxes shine on the
peculiar backgrounds and an eerie
minor chorus. To a jungle beat
from the tom-tom department a
tenor sax goes wild. This is a plat
ter with color plus from bar one
to the final beat, which is, by the
way, a neat bit of drumnastics.
Reverse is a shuffle rhythm ver
sion of "We Go Well Together"
which shows that Jan's crew can
make even a "Pop" tune shine.
Back in the groove
We're excited about "Who's Ex
cited," Artie Shaw's latest release,
for it takes back to the days of
pre-symphonic Shaw. It's back in
the old jive groove . . . with the
fiddle section doing little but pro-
solid

disk, and she does a genuine job
on Gershwin's great blues tune.
Miss Merril waxes sweet and sen

strings. The other side, "I Went
Out of My Way," is in the same
sweet voice, and has that certain
emotionality which should make
Joan Merril great among blues
chanters.
