Because of the dearth of hot
platters and requests from read

ticle steps into the role of oc-
casional classic record reviewer.
1t has long been my belief that
there is much in longhair music
of interest to the cats. just as
there is plenty in the swing field
of concern to the so-called high
brow. Both hot jazz and the clas-
sizes are art forms, with the best
in one field comparable to the
best in the other. The, trouble is
that too many apply the same
set of standards to hot jazz that
they do to the classics and that
spells only trouble. These two
different forms of music have
completely opposite foundations,
ideals and methods of approach.

The waltz, a wild and macabre

of the entire composition. AS for
