BLANTON CONTINUES
SENSATIONAL

One of the major developments
of 1910 has been the introduction
to hot jazz enthusiasts of Jimmy
Blanton, sensational young bass star
with Duke Ellington. Already he
is so far ahead of the rest of the
field as to make it no contest.
More of his izardry is heard in
the new Victor of SEPIA PIANO.

RAMA, currently Dukes theme
song medium tempo masterpiece
which only Ellington could con-
ceive and properly render.
And While we're at it, let's toss
more plaudits toward Ben Webster,
now playing the finest tenor sax
of his career. Coupled is HARLEM
EIR-SHAF'T, a fast stomp featur-
ing elegant Barney Bigard clarinet
in addition to chilling ensemble
work. Easily the weeks best disc.
When the great Coleman Iawk-
ins was in Europe he recorded
pair that Americans can now get on
Eecca. Titles are HONEYSUCKLE
ROSE, tenor solo with piano ac-
compartment, and JAMAC1H
SHOUT, played with full band.
Naturally, the most interesting
feature is Hawk and his endless
variation on the melody in the first
side, and his masculine dominat-
ing jump on the second.
A piano playing newcomer,
Frskne Butterfield, continues his
Decca series by following in Earl
Hines footsteps with BOOGIE
WOOGIE ST. LOUIS BLUES. His
work is far short of the Fathers
standard, but it's still good. Much
better is the companion piece,
