The top platter of the week is
not hot Jazz, strictly speaking. It's
slow. beautiful and restfully scored
number by Tony Pastor called
BLOSSOMS in which exotic mood
and leaders tenor are remindful of
Coleman Hawkins gorgeous 'Medi-
tation." Companion piece is GET
HAPPY, powerhouse jazz in which
the ensemble cuts sharply and
rhythm hits hard. The clarinet
could be better . And the worst
disc of the week is HEY MAN HEY
MAN by the Tampa Boys with
Snub Mosley's band on Decca.
This is a 1--WE spiritual of the
Eyes Indeed" school with silly
shouting and absolutely tuneless
singing. Mosley's band does all right
but the burden is too great The
band goes for itself thank good
ness! On the reverse, SING A
LITTLE DITTY, and does a COM
petent jump job for the jitbugs.
Sidney Bechet's boys serve it pip
ing hot on Victor in OH LADY BE
GOOD after too pretty start. But
from the time Sid starts riding on
soprano sax to the end, the stuff
is righteous. Rhythm is solid. 9th

On Decca Jimmie Lunceford has
slow moody bit called GONE with
DAN GRISSOM singing. This is
torchy and the arrangement ex-
cellent. The other side is plenty
punchy, IMPROMPTU, and features
a spectacular piano -. Also play
ing in the Lunceford manner is
Sam Donahue on the Bluebird of
COFFEE AND CAKES and HALF
A HEART. Both sides are adequate
with a spot of trombone arranging
on the first and a striking sax
blend on the second. U.ea Mae Carl

the better.

Dorothy Maynor
P|edses Again
AT Carnegie.
Soprano Appears
With Philadelphia
Symphony Orch.
Bv CARL DITON

NEW YORK-(ANP) - Dorothy
Maynor was with us again Tues
day night Barely two weeks have
elapsed since the gifted soprano
made her first appearance in re-
citai in New York's famous hall.
Last evening she assisted most no
bly, the World-famous Philadelphia
Symphony orchestra, Eugene Or
mandy conducting, in one of It's
annual musical invasions of our
great metropolis.
Perhaps Americas greatest mu-
steal achievement of the past
quarter of century is her major
symphony orchestras Of which the
Philadelphia band is, needless to
say, one where words fare badly
for lack of descriptive power to
convey adequate conception OF the
high quality Of music it is capable
Of making. To even the most crit
ical musician the opening Bach
Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in G
major for organ orchestrated by
JflC WGS
There was a beautiful singing
tone quality, color, contrast, bal
ance and ensemble. So perfect was
the illusion created by the violon-
cclli in octave company with the
contrabassi, and the solo PLAYERS il
the woodwind, of organ pedal and
manuel effects, the music could
well have emanated from some
grand and great supernatural pipe
organ.
Miss Maynor, with somewhat of
a sacrifice of clear enunciation, de-
llvered herself beautifully of two
arias: Mozart'S Zach, ich fuehlS
from THE Magic Flute" and Han
dels "V'adoro pupille' from Jul
lius CaesaI."
Roy Harris, well-known Ameri-
can composer was represented by
Three Pieces for Orchestra" based
on folk dance and song, modern in
effect and cleverly orchestrated.
He acknowledged appreciation
many times.
The soprano then sang her final
aria: Beethoven's "Abscheulicher
wo eilst du hin?" from "Fidelio, +"
the opening passages of which were
SO convincing that one hated to
hear her German recede in the
softer phrases.
Symphony No 2 in d major, OPP
10; Allegretto, Andante, Vivacis-
simo, and Finale, by the world-re-
nowned contemporary Finnish
symphonist, Jean Sibelius, was the
the final presentation. Although
the work bears traces of the in
fluence of the composed's prede-
ceSSors, Beethoven, Schmnann
Brahms, Richard Strauss and
Tchaikowsky, there is much evil
dence of the Sibelius individuality
with its inevitable national trend
There was an interesting emotion
al use OF pizzicato in the first
movement, quasi-recitative anti
phonal effects by the strings in the
second, and a baSso estimate in the
last that are undoubted contribu-
tions toward symphonic form.
Mr.. Ormandy is a superb con-
ductor In every sense of the word.
Very adept is he in complete con-

Meath glittering arches of The
