boys nosed out Henderson 10 to Is in
a close, thrilling battle.
The local lassies had things much
their way from the opening whistle.

Ry NEWMAN CAMPBELL.

TT is NOW a year after Simon
Peter left his boat and fishing ac-
tivities and followed Jesus. Jesus and
His disciples came to Caesarea Phil
lippi about 25 miles north of the Sea
of Galilee.
Jesus was curious, as any of us
might have been, as to what people
said of Him, and asked His disciples
Whom do men say that I, the Son of
Man, amp"
ssSome say Thou art John the Bap-
fist; some, Elias and others jeremiah
or one of the other prophets" they
answered.
"But whom say we that 1 ann" He
asked. And Simon Peter answered for
them: "Thou art the Christ, the Son
Of the Living Cod" 81.
This answer pleased Jesus. Bless
cd art thou, Simon Barjona," he an
swe~cd. Barjona means son of Jonah
or John He also told him that He
would give him (F'eter) the keys of
heaven. You know Peter is called the
gatclleeper of heaven.
Then Jesus told Ills disciples that
they should not tell anyone whom
they thought He was. He told them
that He must go, to Jerusalem and
suffer many things" AAt that Peter
3!chllsed the Lord, saying that such
thirgs could not happen to Him.
But Jesus reprovcd Peter, telling.
him 10 "get thee behind me, Satan
Maybe even His heart failed when, He
thought Of I'LL the pain and suffering
He was to cndure-the accusations
the trials, the cross, and felt He
world escape them if He could.
IS Then" said Jesus unto Ills dis
sciples, IF any man will come after
me, let him deny hiraself, and take
up his c~c-s and fellow nc. For who
ssceycc will save his life shall lose it;
and whosoever will lose his life for
my sake shall find it." 46s
Meaning that the good life is not
easy, and it takes person who is not
afraid to take a firm stand even if
it means that he will lose his life.
Tho impression tha- Jesus made on
his hearers is illustrated by the STORY

NEW YORK-(ANP) - Every
once in a while I run into some
thing in this city which brings u
mind the old home town. For IN
stance there are the two gableo
wo-storied houses tucked away OIL
1enox avenue between 13Oth ano
131st street. Strangely reminiscent
of the ornate gabled homes OF small
towns. they are almost completely
hidden between towering apart
ment buildings. And they are
bravely masking as real store
frcnts. Passing there in the late
fternoon one sees honey folk lean
ing out cf the windows, calling tC
their numerous progeny who run
wild in the street below. These
ONES just do not belong in such a
setting.
One would think that with all the
bands there are in New York, Har-
enlite arrangers and copyists would
at work steadily, but such is not
the case. A glimpse into the
hythm club (hangout of musicians)
ny day will find many copyists, ar
angers and musicians busy doing
nothing. Inquiry leads to the in
ormation that Negro arrangers and
opyists (the run of mine ones, not
the big fellows working for name
ands) are much wanted by white
bands who pay the real money for
work. But the colored boys fail to
deliver the goods on. time.
A band leader will request an ar
angement and will expect it at a
ertain time. Too many times the
arranger and copyist will all be late
with the arrangement. And when
band needs number for a broad
asst there must be no delay. TIC
beat this unbuSineSS-like way OF
andling songs, the white bands
eve taken to hiring white copyists
, do the copying of songs arranged
or them by competent colored ar
angers. Thus, another avenue Of
ork is about to be taken from oul
ace. and no one is tC blame but
ourselves.

EARL ON PIANO


For the first time in recent
years, Earl Hines has recorded
piano solos. Improvised, they are
12-inch releases by Blue Note, the
new firm catering to the hot jazz
elite. THE FATHERS GETAWAY,
a fast number, finds Earl tapping a
rich vein of melodic ideas and this
continues through REMINISCING
AT BLUE NOTE, a slower number.
This is a type of sincere perform
ance which Hines probably saves
for a select circle of friends. .....
The Bluebird by the Father and
band is what the stage and night
clubs get. Titles are Gi. T. STOMP
and INDIANA, both fast and in
tended for rug cutting. Earl beats
out killer diller piano in the first
side, and the odd powerhouse en-
semble ending on this tune is off
the beaten path
Jimmy Dorsey's new Decca, OF
IT'S FUNNY TO EVERYONE
BUT ME is his best since "All of
Me-" released several months ago.
His alto sax is tremendous and
this ballad is converted into a real
rhythm piece. The companion,
ONE SWEET LETTER FROM
YOU, is nearly as effective. Harry
James has an almost straight ver-
sion for Columbia of It's Funny to
contrast with a wild, stomp down
coupling of VOL VISTU GAILY
STAR. Following Jack Palmer's
first vocal, the band breaks into
boogie woogie rhythm with Harry's
sharp trumpet capering in Yid-
dish vein. Odd, but thrilling. .....
Chief fascination of Glenn Miller's
swift GLEN ISLAND SPECIAL for
Bluebird is Tex Beneke's masterful
tenor sax. The coupling is the slow
and melodious TWILIGHT IN
TERLUDE.
THE LAST JUMP
Charlie Barnet calls THE LAST
JUMP a Jump to end all Jumps >
and he's not far wrong at that.
Taken at mile-a-m minute speed with
q Basie-like arrangement, this
Bluebird by Barnet is killer
diller of killer OILERS, with sensa-
tional alto. tenor and ensemble.
It'll leave you exhausted. The re-
verse is LOVE GROWS ON THE
WHITE OAK TREE, but the re-
Get Teddy Wilson version is better.
... Speaking of Teddy, his band

Music is universal and its worth
is judged by the sincerity and ex-
ecution. Little wonder then that
the race artists have consistently
brought greater profits for tine
music machine operators. Warm
and sincere in their interpretations
and with a deep, sympathetic un-
derstanding for good jazz, which
in the present day they have COM
bined with learned and thorough
knowledge of orchestration, the
deepening wave of enthusiasm for
the race artists is approached by
none.
AN EXAMPLE
That conviction is no idle boast
ing nor any Wishful thinking on
my part As proved today, it was no
idle boasting when, after discover
ing Louis Armstrong in Chicago
some Is years ago, I developed and
advertised him as "the worlds
greatest recording artist" Perhaps
I was little ahead III those early
days. but now we See that his bill
ing then was just as true as it IS
found to be today. His recordings
in those early days are among the
most highly priced discs today.
Enthusiasts all over the country
have been known to spend days in
Salvation army depots, second
hand stores and junk shops look
ing for his first record releases.
That the present generation still
finds as much favor in the early
recordings of race artists as they
do in the latest releases is not be-

cause they are a novelty or have
any value as an antique. 1t is pure
ly because all of their recordings
are performances of great artists
and great songs.
The influence of race artists
or all American, and even Europ-
can musicians and singers has been
tremendous. All would listen, mar
vel and learn. Many have been able
to capitalize on it, but Withal, the
artists Of the Negro race have been
able to hold their positions as lead
ers ever since first pioneering
what we today know as American
jazz.
PUBLIC APPRECIATIVE
The public has come to appre-
ciate this American jazz to be as
much of an art as the classical
music of the old masters. And the
public, which dictates what it
wants, considers the music of race
artists as an art the same as
painting. Although others have
been influenced and even copied
the performance of the Negro
musician, the public soon learned
that reproduced music, as paint
ings. do not contain the same dis
tinct qualities given to the origi-
nal by the master All music ad-
heres to that same principles, for
although other bands may copy the
musical Interpretation and even
capitalize on it, the band that
first presented the idea wins the
public acclaim-and rightly so.
What our musical artists brings
out with his own creative musical
touch, another can only hope to
accomplish by duplicating. And
the public knows that a carbon
copy is merely mechanical repro
duction and never contains the dis
tinctiveness of the original.
NO DISTINCTION
| For those that bear with me thus
| far, take particular note that in
presenting the position Of race ar
lists in American popular music, I
have drawn no distinction between
sweet or swing music. There is
none. If I leave no other thought
with you, my purpose is accom-
plished if the music machine oper-
ator would also cast aside these
non n-existant distinctions when
buying the records of race artists.
True, so much has been written
and said of swing and the
Negro musician in the same
breath that it is understood how
such a misconception is brought
about. That the distinction does
not exist is visably evidenced by
the fact that recordings of the
sweet music by Negro bands and
vocalists have proved as popular
and profitable as their swing rec
ordS.
1T is we'll to bear in mind that
the race artist is not limited to any
one particular style. Stagnation
has never set into any of thier
