Forster Secures Rights
to Shefte Instructors
First Issues Include "Jazz Bass," "Keyboard
Harmony" and "Jazz Breaks"—Will Also
Publish Future Works
CHICAGO, Iix., March 19. The Forster Music
Publisher. Inc., after several months of negotia-
tion concluded arrangements with Art Shefte
for all rights to the three self-instructing books
on the art of modern jazz piano playing written
by Mr. Shefte. It will also publish his future
writings and compilations.
These books include "Jazz Bass" for piano,
termed the backbone of modern jazz piano play-
ing. The "Keyboard Harmony" is a self-in-
struction book on keyboard harmony and fill-in-
work in popular music. It is said that this har-
mony method has been made so simple in its
presentation that anyone can easily under-
stand it.
The other book, entitled "Jazz Breaks,"
leaches 150 jazz breaks, blues, fill-in embellish-
ments, modulations, fifteen novelty endings,
etc., as used by leading radio and jazz pianists.
This series is used by the American College of
Music, Chicago, for teaching modern jazz piano
playing.

Tie-up
The Sherman, Clay & Co. songs, "Idolizing"
and "Hush-A-Bye," which were recently re-
corded by Jean Goldkette and His Orchestra,
have appeared as special releases in records
made by the Victor Talking Machine Co.
Naturally these releases are made in localities
where both of these numbers have previously
won wide popularity in orchestration or sheet
music form. Such was the case in the Detroit
territory, and one of the leading music stores
in that city, the well-known house of Grinnell
Bros., made a special window showing of these
two titles with particular emphasis on "Idol-
izing" shortly after the record releases.
Simultaneously with the release of these Jean
Goldkette records Don Miller, the organist at
the State Theatre, in Detroit, used the Sher-
man-Clay "Hush-A-Bye" number in special pro-
gramming during the same week that the Grin-
nell Store had this window displaying these
two numbers. One view of this Grinnell win-
dow is herewith. It is a particularly attractive
display in which "Idolizing" is emphasized and
attention called to the Goldkette Victor record-
ing orchestra and the records. There is also a

Subscription Solicitors to Publication Called
"Popular Songs" Not Authorized by Those
Publishers Who Are Mentioned
In some sections of the Middle West house-
to-house solicitors have appeared selling sub-
scriptions to a magazine known as "Popular
Songs." These solicitors have been using the
name of well-known popular publishing organ-
izations as being the backers of the magazine.
They generally claim to be college students
working their way through college, thus arous-
ing the sympathy of the public. There have
been many complaints received by publishers
whose names have been used with the state-
ment that no delivery of the magazine had been
made. Use of popular music publishing organ-
ization's names as the backers of the magazine
is misleading. Operating from door to door
and not through usual trade channels makes the
perpetrators of this type of fraud almost im-
mune Irom arrest. However, local music mer-
chants may hear of these operations and will
with this knowledge be able to expose them.

together it was a most timely showing with
unusually good hook-ups with local activities
