Platter Chaffer
Colmbia has released a new
Benny Goodman album entitled
“BENNY GOODMAN’S SEXTET
SERENADE” that is tops as far
as sextet .albms go. Included are
such favorites as “TIGER RAG”,
“SHINE”, “AIN’T MISBEHAV
IN’’, “HE’S FUNNY THAT
WAY”, “I GOT RHYTHM”, “JUST
ONE OF THOSE THINGS”,
“CHINA BOY’,, and “RACHELS
DREAM. Featured are Benny
Goodman, Clarinet; Red Norvo,
vibes; Mel Powell and Teddy Wil
son, piano; Morey Feld, drums;
Mike Bryan, guitar; and Slam
Stewart, bass. Even though the
album has just been cut, it cap
tures the old sextet style of the
early thirties.
Capitol had a field day this
month and turned out three discs
that are sure to have a long pop
ularity run. Ella Mae Morse and
Freddy Slack have combined tal
ents and turned out a boogie-
vocal that should surpass “Cow-
Cow Boogie”. “THE HOUSE OF
BLUE LIGHTS” presents the
inimitable Slack boogie and Ella
Mae’s chirping is just what is
needed to put the song across.
“HEY MR. POSTMAN”, on the
reverse, has fine, slow, blue lyrics
that will surely help the gal make
her comeback. “ANY PLACE I
HANG MY HAT IS HOME” and
“LI’L AUGIE IS A NATURAL
MAN” are from the Mercer-Arlen
show “St. Louis Woman”. If
these songs are a representative
of the music in the show, it
ought to be a big hit. Paul Wes
ton and ork furnish the back
ground music. “EVERYONE IS
SAYING HELLO AGAIN (Why
Must We Say Good-bye)” and
“(GET Your Kicks on) ROUTE
66” by the Nat “King” Cole trio
presents the close harmony
rhythm that has taken the combo
right up the ladder to fame and
fortune. “Route 66” takes the
listener on a musical journey from
Chicago to L. A., making all the
important stops enroute. “Every
one . . .” is a blues number with
good background piano.
“Rebop” has finally gotten
around to the new Glenn Miller
band, now under the able baton
of “Tex” Beneke. The ork has
recorded “HEY! BA-BA-RE-BOP”
with the vocal by “Tex” himself.
On the bottom is “THE WHIF-
FENPOOF SONG (Bah, Bah,
Bah!) The Beneke crew has also
released “STRANGE LOVE” and
“CYNTHIA’S IN LOVE”.
To straighten out wharped
records, place them between two
sheets of glass and allow them to
lay in the sun for about two
hours.
