Send Me Down
Alfred A.
By Henry SteiQ, A

oS avn otStSy <Atg ~ "a
KnOpt, NeD York.
Viewed as a treatise on the lives
and mentalities of jazz musicians,
this novel can be received with re-
spect. There is reason to believe
that it is a true presentation of its
subject, for the author was for 10
years a Jazz musician himself Its
whole interest. however. is clinical.
The jazz man is treated strictly as
a type and the variation within the
type is so small as to make it hard
for reader TO distinguish between
individuals. The books number of
characters is large. but. funda-
mentally. they are all the same man.
Insofar as the work has a plot
it deals with the adventures of one
Frank Davis, a young genius who
believes jazz to be the only living
music of our time. Franks musical
history begins in Brooklyn settle
ment house and reaches a climax
when the famous band which he
has built up gives a swing concert
in Carnegie Hall. 1t then comes to
conclusion with Frank high
mindedly resigning his leadership
and the lush income attached in
order to return to his art in pure
form. The impurity of the great
name bands" one gathers. lies in
commercialization Creative jazz is
not to be found in them. Frank,
having reached the heights of pub
lie acclaim, decides to begin at the
bottom once again and not be Sc
duced this time by radio contracts
or Hollywood persuasion. With that,
We bid him good-by.
The scope of the novel is pretty
wide. We see the hard-Working per-
sonnel of the transforming dance
band. the precarious existence of
those who try to live by getting club
jobs in cities, the summer resort
players-a whole range of obscure
music makers.
What seems to be the occupa-
tional hazard of marihuana Smok-
ing also comes into Mr.. Steigs pains
taking study. But the author neg
lectS what must seem to a thought
full reader the impressive fact about
iazz-that the music for the dance
today has gone far beyond the dance
itself, and that, when a famous
name band" plays an engagement,
the musicians are of greater inter-
est than the dancers. 1t is just an
other example in our civilization of
a. process eclipsing the end for which
it exists. The production of dance
music has become a great Nation
wide industry, but the dance itself
jogs along on an elementary and
completely unsophisticated plane.

To help the reader appreciate this

Unfortunately, it is as easy to con-

flys for sheer love of flying and not
for cups or medals. She made the

Her flight took in four continents,
and while she had a few adventures,
all of them were on the tepid side.
The book is amply illustrated with
splendid air views taken by the
author at various places of interest,
notably the Tai Mahal and the in
famous Dachau concentration camp
