AS is traditional with all popu-
lar, or folk music swing music ex-
presses the sentiments, musically-
Speaklnet of the great majority
of the American people; and in
this case, it is not a medium for
the delicately-tuned thoughts and
the more subtle emotions of the
intellectual eIite. 1t Is, on the
contrary, the medium of express
ion whereby the everyday man
md woman finds it possible to ex
press the headaches, WEAKNESS,
love-sickness, joy and high spirits
which add to life.
To prove the significant Ameri-
canism of swing-music. it becomes
necessary for us to consider tie
ollgin and development of this
particular type of music. In trac-
ing its history, it becomes simple
matter to perceive the influence
this music has had over a period
OF many years on the tempo OF
LIVING as practiced by the demo-
cratic masses of American people
1t is as much a part of them, and
is as individual to them, as is
what is popularly spoken of as
American slang.
MUST GO BACK
To trace the music that we
recognize today as Swing music"
to- its true origin we must go a
long way back. The music wGS
first born in the workfields of
the South, and it was created by
the African slave brought over to
this country in the slave-ships of
the 18o0's. In those days there was
a saying that silent slave is
a thinking slave" For this reason
the plantation owners forced. their
slaves to sing while they worked.
There is a popular belief that
swing-music Of jazz was first de-
lived from the Negro spiritual.
This belief is entirely false and
can be so proved by study of the
facts. The first Negro songs were
work songs only, entirely lacking
in any religious outlook. Tt wasn't
until later that they began to
study the Bible and the changed

Henderson To
Broadcast Nigtly
From Mite Club

CHICAGO-Off to a flying start
went Tropics After Dark, an
original revue starring many
night club favorites and Horace
Henderson's band which had its
premiere at the Tropical Gardens
of the American Negro Exposition
in the Chicago Coliseum on Fri
day night.
According to the opening nights
eGowd, which included several
hundred cafe-goers of both races,
this is one of the fastest and
classiest night club productions
ever to be offered in Chicago.
Written by Arna Bontemps and
Langston Hughes and with original
music by zilner Randolph and
Margaret Bonds, it starts at a diz-
zy pace and gets swifter and more
furious every moment.
Virtually every performer was
called back for several encoreS.
Pork Chops Patterson, 27O pound
tap dancer and comedian; John
son and Grider, ballroom team
with an amazing routine; Mitizi
Mitchell, singer and comedienne;
Sweetie Pie DeHart, lovely spe-
cialty dancer; Dick Montgomery,
half pint singer and comedian, and
Pops and Lourie, sensational at and
acrobatic dance air, were received
enthusiastically. Ruble Blakey,
popular emcee, kept the revue NOV
ing and came in for his share OF
laudlts. The brown beauty chorus
was likewise highly praised.
Tropics After Dark was pro-
duced and directed by Teddy
Blackman, formerly of Comics
Inn, New York, and the Planta-
ton Cafe. Detroit.
Horace HenderSon'S band, which
has one of the largest followings
of any Chicago orchestra, is sched-
uled to broadcast nightly from
Tropics over Station WBBM and to
have nationwide hookup over
Obs four nights weekly. Viola JEFF
ferson handles most of the vocals.
Tropical Gardens, managed by
Fred Carter, has been specially
decorated in keeping with the
name and has enough tables to &C
commodate nearly 1000 persons at
one time. The production begins
nightly at seven o'clock but the
spot is open daily from the time
the Exposition opens at noon and
furnished food and beverages at all
hours.

Negro outlook became noticeable in
their songs, and the religious elc-.
ment entered into the work-songs.
Thus eventually, the Negro spirit
ual was born.
However, the rhythm element,
that element with which we are
most concerned when studying the
evolution OF swing music, first be-
came apparent, in the work songs
from the fields. AS the years pass
ed, the Negro developed this
musical medium more thoroughly,
until it became a healthy and
flourisning, though unwritten,
music
TWO TYPES BEGIN
There now began to be two
types of music, these differing in
spirit and tempo. With the ad-
vent OF emancipation, the younger
generation found it possible to inl-
bue their music with some spirit
OF optimism, excitement and
gaiety. On the other hand, eman-
cipation, which to some meant the
beginning of a new world, a new
life; to others, to the older folk, it
seemed calamitous tragedy, leav-
ing them entirely lost and at sea,
ignorant of what to do and where
to go.
The older generation then, still
called in desperation upon their
Savious and chanted their fate in
music, while the younger people
were heralding the dawn of new
day. The earliest evidence of the
new tempoed music was the crea-
ton Of what was known as the
"cake-walk.' Then came tine
Spanish war, and with
it, carried along in its wake, there
appeared still another musical
element, the blues or lament.
These blues songs were taken by
the white man, printed and in
very short time, they attained a
tremendous peak of popularity.
They expressed emotions which
were common and familiar to all
classes of persons, high and low.
Once these songs were printed By
the white man, and in white idio1n,
they no longer belonged solely to
the Negro, they became American.
Thus the first evidence of Ameri-
can jazz found its being and in
no time became the dominating
popular music. or folk-music of
the American people.
Jazz itself went through many
stages. 1t has been labeled in many
ways and today We know it as
SMing-music. 1t has been de-
veloped, it has been ornamented,
but this music that we know now,
is still essentially the same.

SOCIALIZED AMERICANA

Americana on records with a
social significance aptly describes
Dust Bowl Ballads" by Woody
Guthrie, an album of three records
released by Victor with pithy
description by Mr.. Guthrie in
his own "Oakie' dialect. The sing,
er, who is accompanied by guitar,
is the same person heard singing
Blown Down This Road" in the
movie, Grapes of WRATH
This album may not appeal to
the casual listener, but to those
persons who want running re-
cord of America as she is today, TO
the sociologist and to the collector
of musical oddities this album mas
a definite appeal. The songs are
of fundamental everyday Things
and yet they could spring from TO
place except the Southwest of this
!. great nation.
LEADING THE PARADE
Best hot disc of the week is by
Muggsy Spanier, who has habit
of Etealing honors. Title is the
familiar LONESOME ROAD ano
it's a Bluebird. Although Buggsy S
cornet isn't up to his work on tbs
old Ted Lewis platter, the new re-
lease is better balanced with
trombone, tenor and piano in rare
form Coupled is MANDY, MAKE
UP YOUR MIND, the pure jazz. {.
Bob Crosby's Bob Cats put On a
nice Decca show with ALL BY
MYSELF and SPAIN, clarinet and
piano stealing the applause.
John Kirby does a 4-alarm job
for Vocation on his not versions of
ONE ALONE and HUMORESQUE
Hear what this amazing group
does to these, and particularly
catch the Kyle piano and Procope
alto ON the first side. Two more
Benny Goodman reissues on Blue
bird, WANT TO BE HAPPY and
ROSETTA, both essential to a
Goodman collection. The many
Ink Spot fans will rave over their
new Decca of WHISPERING
GRASS and MAYBE, sung ac-
cording to the formula that has
recently made the platters best
sellers.
Another brace of the solid kicks
is IN the Bluebird by Don Red
man of SHIN ME A-WARBLE
and CHANT OF THE WEED, the
latter his theme song. Both feature
sterling ensemble and solo work,
With the latter weird and full of
soprano sax tricks. Will Bradley

HARLEM SKETCHES

be interesting to watch the de-
velopment of the Negro Digest.
A young lady visitor from the
middle South recently spent few
days in Harlem and the writer
happened to meet her. 1t was In
teresting to talk to her and get
her view of this Big Village. Her
first impression was that there
we're too many colored people ell"
Csrely-where could they all be
going-What were they doing
now could they all be dressed up
where do they live.
Seeing the towering apart
ment buildings later she could
easily see where they live,
but hated the thought of so
many folk living in one build
ing. Her next thought was of
the money the men had spent
on her since being in the city.
She had been out many times,
each time with a new fellow
(she was a beautiful girD and
they had all spent plenty OF
money on her. .....
Forgetting that she had been
with man each night she could
not visualize any man making
enuf money to take a girl OUT 10
expensive places night after night.
That some of them suffered for
days after, missing meals, ducking
thd landlady, never entered hel
nNld. She was a bit contemp-
tuouS of the business places which
had Negro proprietors, stating en-
phatically that the people In her
own town had better looking
places.
Her feminine instinct was STIR
red by the fascination of the shop
ping center on 125th street, but
was quieted when she saw the
cheapness of good sold to custom
ers. . All in all she was awed a
bit, scared some, thrilled by the
mite life-but said the men in her
town we're better companions
therefore she would rather live in
her town than in Harlem.
HARLETGANIA: Although
Grants magnificent Tomb Is
within the confines of Harlem, the
attendant on duty there says few
colored people visit there and most
of those who do are out-of- town.
erS. E. Hot dogs and matted milk
is Harlem's favorite MONDAY meal.
ADVICE TO MEN: Don't try
to flirt with lonely women In
cabarets. 1t usually costs plenty of
money. >. Bicycle riding is most
popular in Harlem and is noticed
only when done by stout women
vino Invariably wear the shortest
shorts. q. . Fire escape sleeping is
now in full bloom. :. An attempt
to bar a white tennis player from
a Jersey Negro tennis tournament
is being made. In Harlem fans arC
excited at the prospect of seeing
Don Bulge and Jimmie McDaniels
battle a three game set. Jimmie is
colored and Burge the greatest
tennis player in the country. ....
Harlem tremendously disap-
pointed when the Democratic con-
vention caused the Armstrong
Jenkins fight to be cut off the
air Quietness reigned before ana
after the fight.
