For Fats does it neat and sweet and
the whole thing is a treat from start

most all places that like it on the

this side of the platter (side ‘B’)
make a definite point in favor of
using this disc. Carmene is the girl
whose scintillating voice takes second
honors on a tune— that will— from all
indications make the grade, in the
long pull. Skinnay Ennis bands in
medium tempo and in neat style. "I

"V IV A RO O SEV ELT," Xavier Cugat, C o ­
lumbia 36496: An interesting fox trot
tune by Cugat of South of the border
fame. It is with characteristic per­
fection that Cugat bands in praise
of President Roosevelt. The tempo
is brisk with great splashes of
rhythms that fairly rock. Leonard
Stokes, Miguelito Valdes and the
Cugat chorus combine forces for a
powerful vocal rendition. This is
discing that will go everywhere and
in all locations. "M A R C H IN G A LO N G

"SO M EBO D Y'S R O C K IN G MY DREAM
BO A T," Artie Shaw, Victor 27746: Some­
how it appears that Shaw’s orchestral
treatment is much too frail. The
tune is certainly deserving of more
body, and then too, the tempo is again
too slow. Paula Kelly sings the vocal
and she isn’t half bad. Yet, I can see
very little reason to make use of the
platter, even if it is Artie Shaw’s.

"Y O U R A S C A L Y O U ," Louis Armstrong,
Decca 4140: A lively fox trot that’s a
neat beater for young folk. It rocks.
It’s got sock, and it’s a merry old
timer from yesteryears list of hit
tunes. In his characteristic patter,
Armstrong does the vocal—and how
he does it. This is the king of musical
merchandise that will sell the young
folk. "W H E N IT'S SLEEPY TIM E DOWN

"BLU ES IN TH E N IG H T ," Benny Good­
man, Okeh 6553: The sextet do some­
thing to this side that makes it a sure
fire winner. It ’s slow and blue. Peggy
Lee and Lou McGarrity sing a darb
of a vocal. Plenty of emphasis on
rhythm. "W H E R E O R W H E N ," reverse
