KAY KYSER (0 ) 789 1
'CAUSE MY BABY SAYS IT'S
SO (FT)
THE YOU AND ME THAT USED
TO BE (FT)
Every Kvser number is a real production mas-
terpiece. This fellow Kyser doesn't let things
slrp thru that are not up to snuff. This record
is suitable for almost any kind of spot. There's
some clever comedy on the first side. Second
side is a sentimental ditty and right pretty too.
JOHNNY GREEN (N) 7892
MEDLEY OF "SHALL WE
DANCE" SELECTI ONS
This is a piano specialty with Green at the
ivories. Featured tunes are "They All Laughed,"
"Shall We Dance," "They Can't Take That
Away From Me," "Let's Call The Whole Thing
Off," "Beginner's Luck" and "Slap That Bass."
Very good.
TEDDY WILSON (0 ) 7893
HOW AM I TO KNOW? (FT)
I'M COMING TO VIRGINIA (FT)
Sweet and hot is the first tune with Helen
Ward committing herself very nicely on the vo-
caJs. Second is a razzly swingster. Good.
EMERY DEUTSCH (0 ) 7894
YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM
LOVE TONIGHT (FT)
THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU
(FT)
Rei ying on smooth and sweet arrangements
Deutsch brings forth an aggregation of musicians
that seems to be capable of only the best. This
disc is up front along side of Lombardo for this
particular style.
ART SHAW (0 ) 7895
ALL GOD'S CHILL UN GOT
RHYTHM (FT)
IT GOES TO YOUR FEET (FT)
Artie copies nobody. He's really figured out
some torrid arrangements of his own. He dis-
plays a coupla copies on this disc. Nice .
RED NORVO (0 ) 7896
REMEMBER (FT)
JIVING THE JEEP (FT)
Remember . 'Remember"? It was one of Irving
Berlin's finest a few years back. Norvo does a
mighty clean job with it. Featured xylophone is
good. Coupling is a bit different but equally as
good.
BLUEBIRD
BOYD SENTER (0 ) 695 7
SMILES (FT)
NO ONE (FT)
Very ~ood for most operators . Musicians might
term thIS one "corny" but to us it seems just
"corny" enough to click right.
RIVERSIDERS (V) 6956. 6969
FOR ME AND MY GAL
MICKEY
With this disc we welcome the return of good
close barber shop harmony. The Riversidees Quar-
tet with piano and Hawaiian Guitar accompani-
ment exercise their tonsils on two hits of yester-
year. Good.
OH! WHAT A PAL WAS MARY
WHO'S SORRY NOW?
While not quite so hot as the above never-the-
less there is a nice pairing of numbers on this
disc. Fair.
CHARLIE V ARNET (0 ) 6967
A SAILBOAT IN THE MOON-
LIGHT (FT)
HE WALKED RIGHT IN (FT)
Straight dance tune well played on the A side_
Second tune is an old time semi-comedy type of
thing_ "He Walked Right In, Turned Right
Around, Walked Right Out Again." Great.
SHEP FIELDS (0 ) 6966
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE (FT)
TOODLE-OO (FT)
There 've been dozen of imitations but still there
is only one Shep Fields. This record is a honey.
Arrangements are the very best. Vocals are tops_
DECCA
LOUIS A RMSTRONG-MILLS BROS. (V-O) 1245
DARLING NELLIE GRAY
CARRY ME BACK TO OLD
VIRGINNY
Every once in a while something really above
the average gets us so excited we can work the
rest of the day. Such a disc is 1245. The com-
bination of Armstrong, Mills Bros. and these
two old standard tunes is unbeatable. Get it. It
is high class for every spot.
INK SP OTS (V) 1251
LET' S CALL THE WHOLE THING
OFF
SLAP THAT BASS
Novel and interesting. Vocals are clear and
distinct. This colored foursome rates your at-
tention. They' re nickel-getters.
CLIFF BRUNER (N) 5368
SO TIRED
UNDER THE SILVERY MOON
Cliff Bruner's Texas Wanderers ring the bell
with this recording. "So Tired" is a beautiful
number featuring a recitation by Dickie. Vocals
on both are outstanding for this type of record.
String Band acc.
JIMMY DORSEY (0 ) 1256
ALL GOD'S CHILL UN GOT
RHYTHM (FT)
MUTINY IN THE BRASS
SECTION (FT)
First tune is featured in the new Marx Bros.
rix. "A Day at the Races. " Nice work by
Dorsey and the boys. Second is an unusual in-
strumental foxtrot that is really novel.
TED FlO RITO (0 ) 1257. 1258
TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY
(FT)
BLUE VENETIAN WATERS (FT)
A MESSAGE FROM THE MAN
IN THE MOON (FT)
I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE
WITHOUT YOU (FT)
First three are from the Marx picture. Muzzy
Marcellino vocalizes . Swellegant dance tunes.
RUTH ETTING (V) 1259
A MESSAGE FROM THE MAN
IN THE MOON
ON A LITTLE DREAM RANCH
The sweet voice of Ruth Etting is recorded
ceautifully on this disc. Two pianos provide the
accompaniment. Very good vocals.
DICK ROBERTSON (0 ) 1260
TOODLE-OO (FT)
YOULL NEVER GO TO HEAVEN
(If You Break My Heart) (Waltz)
"Toodle-Oo" is catching on in great fashion.
It's an interesting number and well recorded by
Robertson on this disc. The waltz is divine.
REGGIE CHILDS (0 ) 1262
NO MORE TEARS (FT)
MAYBE (FT)
Nicely done. Sweet, sophisticated and plenty
swell for dancing. The smooth rhythm of the
Childs combo should please the most fastidious.
AMBROSE (0 ) 1264
ON THE ISLE OF KITCHY MI
BOKO (FT)
I'M ALL IN (FT)
Production numbers as are all of Ambrose re-
cordings. Vocals by Evelyn Dall are much bet-
ter than the average. Very good.
P IETRO AND HIS ACCORDION (N) 1276-77-78
CIRIBIRIBIN-O SOLE MIO
LA SPAGNOLA-CIELITO LINDO
SHARPSHOOTER'S MARCH
PIETRO'S RETURN
DORA
ELVIRA
One of the country's best-known accordion
players turns in three discs that should be in the
library of every music operator. You can use
these records over and over again in the same
spots. Genuinely different and very good. First
pair is a waltz medley, second coupling com-
prises marches and third record has a mazurka
on one side and a waltz on the other. Highly
recommended.
STUFF SMITH (0 ) 1279
TWILIGHT IN TURKEY (FT)
ONYX CLUB SPREE (FT)
This is a "spree" in any country. It's prob-
ably the hottest assortment of notes ever in-
scribed in wax. Colorful to say the least. By all
means this one should click, and re-click. It's
got what it takes!
