BRUNSWICK
HORACE HEIDT ( 0 ) 8305
CARNIVAL OF VENICE (FT)
THE GREEN GRASS GREW ALL
AROUND (FT)
Clever arrangements and vocals on an old
fable. Male chorus does a noble job of back-
ing up Heidt similar in style to "Old MacDon-
ald Had A Farm." Sweet novelty for ops.
Platter companion is a swingy affair with
minor appeal.
DOROTHY LAMOUR (V J 8304
KINDA LONESOME (FT)
JUNIOR (FT)
Smooth and sweet renditions of current fav-
orites. Second tune is one of those "We Love
Baby" ballads bound to creep into and pull
the heart strings of the hardest of toughies.
Merit in both numbers.
BLUEBIRD
MESS MEZZROW ( 0 ) 10085
CO MIN' ON WITH THE COME ON ( I
& 2)
Another hot series coming up. Recorded
under the superyision of Hugues Panassie this
is the forerunner of many more that are par-
ticularly recorded for the far flung member-
ship of the hot jazz fraternity. This New Or-
leans type of music burns up the needles and
should also keep the coin chute busy.
JOHNNY MESSNER (0 )
SINGIN' IN THE SADDLE (FT)
LET'S STOP THE CLOCK (FT)
A cowboy number and a love song . Smooth
tunes engagingly performed. Okeh .
TOMMY LADNIER (0 ) 10086
WEARY BLUES (FT)
)A-DA (FT)
Second in the Hugues Panassie series. En-
tirely different in style from the first. A-1
material for the hot jazz devotees.
" FATS" WALLER (0 ) 10116
HOLD TIGHT (FT)
YOU OUT-SMARTED YOURSELF (FT)
Two brand new nifties. Done in typical
Waller style with vocal refrains, clowning,
and piano ramblings by "Fats". Recom-
mended.
VAN ALEXANDER (0 ) 10118
THE MASQUERADE IS OVER (FT)
HEAVEN CAN WAIT (FT)
A duo of engaging numbers smoothly
treated by Alexander. Both tunes have a
wealth of value to operators. Second tune is
especially worthy.

RUDY VALLEE (V ) 2246
OH , DIOGENES
SING FOR YOUR SUPPER
A pair of the top vocal tunes from the new
New York favorite "Boys from Syracuse"
featuring Vallee on the vocals in front of Har-
ry Sosnik's ork. Ideal material for ops.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG (0 ) 2230
AS LONG AS YOU LIVE YOU'LL BE
DEAD WHEN YOU DIE (FT)
WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN
(FT)
Don't shy off this one. With a vocal choir
going to town on the second side this is a
disc usable anywhere. Plenty of good, hot
trumpet and throaty vocals by Armstrong.
BING CROSBY (V) 2257
JUST A KID NAMED JOE
THE LONESOME ROAD
A perfect coupling for Crosby with John
Scott Trotter's combo. in the background. Re-
cording of " Lonesome Road" is especially
good. Will make money for ops.
CONNIE BOSWELL (V ) 2258, 2259
THE UMBRELLA MAN
THEY SAY
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
DEEP IN A DREAM
Four current favorites dished up by the
charming chanteuse, Connie Boswell. Weddy
Herman 's band aids. A natural quartet of
vocals for any spots . Get 'em!
TOMMY DORSEY (0) 26145
COCKTAILS FOR TWO (FT)
OLD BLACK JOE (FT)
Two well-established melodies in the Dorsey
style of swing. Old appeal is still there and
numbers will click beautifully with the public.
RICHARD HIMBER (0 ) 26146
JEANNIE SWINGS OUT (FT)
SWEET AND HIGH (FT)
Taking "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Sweet
and Low" Himber does his distinctive pyra-
miding and winds up with pleasant results.
Vocals are well taken. Numbers have oodles
of appeal.
TOMMY DORSEY (0 ) 26149
THIS IS IT (FT)
IT'S ALL YOURS (FT)
Played in the medium sweet-swing style this
pair from the musical comedy "Stars In Your
Eyes" is sweet meat for ops. Bound to please.
SAMMY KAYE (0 ) 26150
COULD BE (FT)
PENNY SERENADE (Tango)
Climb aboard on this number. One of the
best to come out of Kaye's camp in a month
of Sundays. Three Barons sing. This number
will build rapidly. Tango foxtrot is a suitable
coupling.
VOCALION
RAY HERBECK ( 0 ) 4611
SIMPLE AND SWEET (FT)
GOTTA PEBBLE IN MY SHOE (FT)
Herbeck contributes two conventional fox-
trots with average mob appeal. Vocals on
both. Second tune has caught on remarkably
well of late and Herbeck 's arrangement is
jake for most any spot. Good.
LEWIS-JOHNSON-AMMONS (Pianos) 4606
BOOGIE WOOGIE PRAYER (1 & 2)
Boogie W oogie Prayer is a three piano
prayer to King jazz. Wild, fantastic, and in-
teresting. For variety it should click,
WALTER POWELL (0 ) 4612
DEVIL'S HOLIDAY (FT)
DEFINITION OF SWING (FT)
Second di tty is a weird potpouri of noises
but none-the-less modestly descriptive of
swing. No vocals. Accompanying tune might
be part two. Okeh.

LES BROWN (0 ) 10122
SEEING NELLIE HOME (FT)
OLD DOG TRAY (FT)
A brace of tunes grandmother used to sing,
re-arranged by Les Brown for his up-and-com-
ing swing band. Miriam Shaw warbles the
familiar words and the band does a noble job
of making these two old timers big names for
today's mad throngs. Use it.
