RATING THE

BY J. Henry Randall
JAZZ FESTIVAL

Any OF the new releases which
are mentioned in this review are
the tops" for this or past years.
They contain some of the best
jazz performed by some Of the
great musicians In the business.
And they are not necessarily re-
viewed in the order Of their great
ness--from top to bottom, be-
cause IT is difficult at best to
say this is the tops; this is the
near-tops."
So for starter. why not Buck
Clayton? This superb musician
has another Of those 12-inch Id
jam sessions which ranks with his
earlier 'Hucklebuck : r o b bins
Nest" and How HI the Fl" al
buns. Entitled, Buck Clayton
Plays Benny Goodman" it con-
tains three items which have long
been in the collectors classified
ton Christopher Columbus, a
composition of the late terrorist
great, Chu Berry and introduced
by the late Fletcher Henderson as
his signature theme, Don't Be
That Way, by another saxist,, Ed
gar Sampson; and Undecided, a
Charles shavers'opus popularized
when he was with the late John
Kirby sextet. These choice items
later found their way into the
Benny Goodman repertoire and
achieved all-time greatness.
Columbus" takes up an entire
side, a real long TANNER of 25A
minutes. It's perhaps a bit too
long for the fan who doesn't care
for extended works. but what
commands attention is the excel
lent solo work in the 31A chorus.
That makes 1t worthwhile for lis
tening. Incidentally, the personnel
is the same as on "Hucklebuck,"
which we know you have in your
collection.
For "the other two numbers, a
few changes In personnel, includ-
ing the presence of Coleman--for
ever to be known as Body and
Soul and/or The Bean"-Haw-
kins. Way" takes up IL choruses
for about 9la minutes, while its
mate has Is choruses for about
nine minutes.
There is also, for those who
prefer 1t, a couple Of As rpm ex-

Columbus and the other to
Way" and Undecided" (Colum-

Because we had mentioned
Goodman up above, II seems fit
ting to slide over to his BIG In
Hi Fl" l2-incher which we have
just gotten around to reviewing.
It's recreation of arrangements
popularized by the BIG units
some Is or 20 years back--big
band, quintet, trio, etc. A few Of
the original guys are on this with
sundry other musicians and hap
PLY they achieve a sound which
is hard to separate from that of
the original units.
Some OF the 16 favorites in the
group include Let's Dance. Jump

is memorialized in a 12-incher,
loaded with a number of names
like Count Basic, Lionel Hamp-

who don't know it, Charlie was
guitarist, and boy, what a quit

composed of outstanding business
and professional men from all sec
tions of the Area.

ing. The local Institution agrees

Council. This the sponsoring In
stitutions work together as a
Council to provide common services
that all need but which no one
Institution could provide.
3. Fifty Council members rep
resenting all sections of the area
met in May and developed the
Council Program for 1866. This
program has been presented to the
Executive Board and to all District
Committees for approval. The pro-

statewide expansion program on
this belief.
Feed, seed and fertilizer in
terests also predict bigger vol
umes of business in 1855.
The wood using industry also
is highly optimistic in view of
predicted record construction in
1855. Major wallboard manufac-
turing firms in the state expect
better business in 1866 and pos
sible expansions of facilities IN
some instances. Furniture manu-
facturers also are optimistic, as
is the box industry and the lum-
Der industry.
Boom From Oil
The oil industry made tire
mendous strides in 1854, and
spokesman foresee a highly sue
cessful 1855. Speaking for the
industry, one leader says THE
central section of Mississippi
will see the greatest number of
drilling rigs searching for oil
that we have ever seen The
impact of this drilling program
together with reasonable antici-
pated recoveries of oil should Law
the foundation for quite a boom
in all of the central area"
Industries engaged in metals
and machinery generally hold
the same optimistic outlook as
their neighboring manufactures.
Following are sample comments:
Comments From Industry
A tool manufacturer says:
Even if the national economy
debates, the South's new factor
les will be among the last to
sag, as they are among the new
est and most efficient in the
United States" A Delta tank
manufacturer formerly from
Texas says: 81 am of the firm
opinion that Mississippi and the
Delta will grow by leaps and
bounds. The possibilities are ire
mendOus, and with the continued
support of our state govern
ment and it's far-sighted leader
ship, there is absolutely no rea-
son why the state cannot be one
of the richest in the nation" A
metal trim plant official adds:
"Our optimism as to the future
of our operation in the state is
evident by the fact that we are
beginning construction of $4,000
more feet of space"
A foundry official says: I'VE
are expanding our business
somewhat to take care of what
we believe will be better bus
mess" Another comments: "Our
customers are more interested in
quality than they were in the
past"
Wearing Apparel
Although some phases of the
apparel industry suffered diff
ficulty nationally, Mississippi
manufacturers, even in those
lines, expressed satisfaction with
past experiences and were Opt
mistic over the future.
A shirt manufacturer saws the
state has many advantages to
oiIci lHu uSIly anu l1eTe Is every
reason to believe that these adj
vantages will continue to attract
new industries in future years"
Another in the same line saws
the attitude of employees" is
the secret of his success. A shoe
manufacturer who recently To-
Gated in the state says: 1--WE
certainly have been pleased with
our Mississippi operation and
anticipate good production and
business during 1855 and after.
AS a matter of fact. | think,
should we find a need for a
new plant for shoes of this gen
eral type again in the future,
we would strongly consider ano-

pany is planning for increased

business during the next IL
months and has spent consider
able money in improving and
undermining facilities. Another
is looking to plastic irrigation
pipe as new product.
The name flooring concern
operating in Mississippi foresees
a to s per cent increase IN
business this year, and forecasts
a IS per cent gain in his business
by 1865.
Electrical Fixtures
One major fixture plant is
currently undergoing a major ex-
pansiOn program and foresees
good business as result of con-
structiOn expansion and the need
for new school rooms. A new
conner to the electrical industry
in the state has this to say: ,"At
the outset it was the rapidly ex-
pandlng economy of Mississippi,
and the South as a whole, that
prompted this company to es-
tablish manufacturing facility
in the state early in 1852. To
date our first conviction of the
South's bright industrial future
has been Justified, and we have
every reason to believe that the
next decade will witness wonder
full accomplishments in the
South"
Business of another in an al
lied field has increased 1O-fold
in five-year period.
Chemical Industry
The outlook for the chemical
industry is especially good
throughout the South and in Mis-
sissippi, as indicated by COM
ments from experts in the field.
A South Mississippi chemical
company officials "forsees moth
ing short of prosperity for his
operation for the next five years.
Another central Mississippi in
dustrialist predicts that his COM
pany will ''more than triple it-
self in the next three years"
He says his original product is
doubling in sales each year.
A North Mississippi corpora
ton head adds that his company
at present produces only one
type of material, but plans are
underway to double the present
capacity of the plant within the
year and process more types of
products from the minerals avail
able"
A newcomer says he expects
and hopes that the atmosphere
in Mississippi will be so attrac-
tive as to compel his firm TO
expand existing facilities and add
new products as markets deve-
lop.
Utilities Il Railroads
The two major private power
companies in the state expressed
their faith in the future by call
ing attention to big new general
ing stations built with an eve
to future industrial growth. Two
major gas distributing companies
also see promise Of new business,
one having spent major sums for
increasing pipeline service, and
the other planning major expan-
sion during 1855.
Railroads are basing big 1855
investments in service facilities
on the hope that new plants will
inevitably locate in the state in
1855.
Bankers also point out that
Mississippi's financial institu-
tons are now in the strongest
position in history, with ample
funds available for loans to both
agriculture and industry at rea-
sonable rates. Resources of banks
continue to grow, the spokes-
men point out, and should re-
f e substantial increases in
keeping with our industrial
growth over years ahead.
