There are three i tunes—count ‘em—on one side, i two on the other, and all are good. I In “Oo-la-la” Billy Murray drops | in to give us the official text. On the other side we have a visit from melodic “Mandy.” Fox trot. Fox trot. Played by Louisiana Five. Emerson 1083. There are songs that make you think, “Well, this is great stuff, but } wait till it comes out as a dance!” i From the moment we heard “Blue t i My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me, we knew a corking dance was in store for us; and here it is. The Louisiana boys tear it off rippingly. “Ringtail Blues” was born a dance } —a mighty spry one. If you're t longing for languor, you won't find H it here. | Buves, Foxtrot. Played by Ted Lewis's Jazz Band. Inv1a. Fox trot. Played by Yerkes Novelty F Columbia But here is a Sensation. Ted Lewis's playing of “Blues” eclipses any jazz achievement we ever heard. He has a sense of dramatic contrast. Instead of tooting his clarinet all the way through the piece, he starts off with a happy out- burst and then stops, "Mote Mus. 2 New Disco's Under the consecut ings: “Vaudeville,” ”” “Con- cert,” and “Opera,” Disco's lists ap- pear regularly in JUDGE.

The kick- content of this record must be about 98%. Store it in your de- pleted cellaret and serve before din- ner in place of cocktails. We'll guarantee its potency to give any party a flying start.

Played by Waldorf- Astoria Dance Orchestra, Columbia A799, “Cleo” permits of no tarrying by the wallside. Yerkes’ Jazarimba Orchestra plays it corkingly. The make-up of this organization has evidently been changed from what it used to be. Some of the previous records struck us as having too much clink-clink and not enough punch. Now there is a busy banjo to the fore, the drummer has been given increased authority, and the color-imparting marimbas are car- ried along on waves of enthusiasm. Congratulations, Mr. Yerkes! “Taxi” is by the author of “Me-ow,” the cat-call classic. This has cab-calls. Gorpexrop. Fox_ trot. Sumater Days. Fox trot.
