...Count Basie rhythm section (Jo Jones and the Count himself) are featured with the Benny Goodman sextet on I've Found A New Baby. Jones' drumming is superb, and well supported by Artic Bernstein on string bass. The reverse, Breakfast Feud, contains some tenor sax which shows Georgie Auld to be improving by leaps and bounds. There are few white tenor sax which shows Georgie Auld to be improving by leaps and bounds. There are few white tenor men who can come near him these days (COLUMBIA) . . . Reissue of the week is Ride Red Ride by the old Mills Blue...
...Quentin, and Scarlatti would have appreciated what harpsichordist Johnny Guarneri does to some of his own ideas (VICTOR)...Benny Goodman's latest twelve inch recording, Superman, is another elaborate Eddie Sauter orchestration, and features Cootie Williams pyrotechnics all the way through. There's also some tenor sax by Georgie Auld, who gets the same dirty tone out of his horn that Benny likes to use (COLUMBIA)... Metronome's 1941 All Star band has recorded One O'Clock Jump and Bugle Call Rag for VICTOR. Coupling can't help but be good, but unfortunately they have to squeeze in a chorus...

From that moment forward radio listeners will be fed a new musical diet, the result of an unsettled grudge-fight between composers and broadcasters. The major networks promise to forget every one of the half-million tunes whose copyrights are held by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. That organization promises it can survive without the royalties it asks of the radio chains. The efforts of radio's Broadcast Music Incorporated, along with the thousands of musical pieces whose rights...
...thing about the record is the rhythm section, which is second only to the Count's. As a matter of fact, Basic plays piano here, and shares honors with Artic Bernstein (bass), Charley Christians (electric guitar) and Harry Jaeger (drums). Wholly Cats features the surprise of the year: Georgie Auld off tenor sax. Georgie used to be to the sax what Buddy Rich is to drums. Now he's playing swell horn, modelling his style on 'Coleman Hawkins', and you couldn't ask for a better master.... Dillagene, Woody Herman's new vocalist, does a nice job on Five...
