The hope of jaxx is the new string, reed, and brass ensemble of Artie Shaw. He plays strictly out of this world stuff. It is RELAXED and SINCERE. And that's what jazz needs, relaxation and sincerity. Artie informs me by telegram that Louis Armstrong may soon add depth to the orchestra by taking the second chair in the trumpet section...
Listening the other night to the Stradivarius Quartet, a small string combo which is definitely good listening.

They wrecked buildings by the thousands, branched into new lumber. In 1928 they incorporated. The company was named Cleveland in honor of Father Rose's home; its technical headquarters were based in Cincinnati because it was an Ohio...
...third quarter saw another string of scores as Zouck continued his amazing spree by getting three more. Anderson, Ed Edmunds, Joe Ferris, and August Benedix contributed five goals while Nover put in the only other Springfield tally. The scoring subsided in the last period with only Benedix and Zouck scoring. late in this quarter the gymnasts made a desperate scoring offensive, but owing to a very able job by George Hanford at the nets the last minute drive bore no fruit...
