HOT AND BOTHERSOME

Several records in these fading
days of summer are definitely hot
and bothersome. Not the least of
these is the first Bluebird by that
grand old man of the trumpet,
MuggSy Spanicr, who sparkled for
many years with Ted Lewis. Of all
White trumpet players, he is second
only to the late Blk Beiderbecke.
Listen to his cnorus on SONIEDAY
SWEETHEART and you will have
an example of sincerity and feel

.lIbitionists as, for instance, Harry

Al Bryan Famed Songwriter>
Pens Letter To Race Artists
Asserts They
Should Help
COMPOSERS.

NEW YORK-(ANP)-A Ra-
zaf, nationally known colored COM
poser of popular songs. including
'Honeysuckle Rose,'' "Ain't Misbe-
havin'," etc., this week called at
tention to an open letter written
by Al Bryan, noted white song
writer, which holds great interest
for Negro musicians, entertainers
apG composers. Concerning the
letter, Razaf said:
"This unusual gesture from a
white man impresses me greatly
and goes to show how members of
another race are watching US and
are often more aware of our own
shortcomings than we think they
are.
'Mr. Bryan is one of the great
est songwriters in Tin Pan Alley
having written 4 Didn't Raise My
Boy to Be A Soldier, and hundreds
Of other real hits, is q staunch ad-
mirer of our race, especially its
creators of music"
Addressed to "Outstanding color
ed bandleaders, recording and ra-
dlo artists" the Bryan letter fol-
lows:
Pardon my inpertinence, should
yLu call it such, for calling your
attention to the duty you owe to
the members of your own race in
furthering their interests and SIC
cecs in the world of musical enter
tainment.
IF 1 am not altogether mistaken,
much and, in fact, great deal of
the popularity and commercial
success of the modern composers
in the field of popular music goes
back to the original colored pio-
neers and creators of syncopated
music. Ragtime, 1 believe to be
the genesis of the more highly
elaborated forms of syncopation
and swing. 1t has always appeared
to me as shameful the way Negro
composers of undoubted merit have
b5en thrust aside and neglected by
the different publishers. Yet they
are treated the same way by Ne
gre artists!
"You have attained unassailable
positions in the world of popular
delineation and you are duty
bound to turn your attention to
those Of your own race who could
reach the public with their compo-
sitions through your cooperation.
Don't you think this matter is
worthy of your attention."
