Other cities in the south-not as large as Birmingham have their own Jazz Bands-and we didn't want Birmingham to be lagEard in this respect so we decided to form this combination and call 1t Memoirs Jazz Band The result is that we have gathered together a fine bunch of mu- sical geniuses-and for nearly two months we have been in rehearsals and We feel that we've got in down fine, now"
 Our Jazz selections will be strictly original Jazz numbers" said Mir.

In our repertoire besides our own original Jazz selections will be in cluded all the popular Jazz tunes and innovation-in fact-whatever is in- cluded in Jazz music will be included in the music of Memoirs Jazz Band"
 q would like to mention that for our dance music we will be glad to show our appreciation of encores" said MT. Memoli. "If we play d slection that meets with the approval of the large number of dancers. and they show their appreciation by giving us an encore, we will show ours by ready and cordial response"

Memoli, "I travelled quite extensively in the east and for two months I was with the Garber-Davis Jazz Band of Washington. which is considered one of the finest Jazz Bands now in existence. This experience was of invaluable aid in organizing Memolfs Jazz Band for l had gotten all the pointers I could from this big band and have used them in working out the details of our own organization"
