“ICs What’s in THE CASH BOX That Counts” I 8 The Cash Music Box , Page 1 March 27, 1954 A POSITIVE HIT

CLASSICAL: — SVENDSEN— “Carnival In Paris” PfiACU ALFVEN “Midsummer Vigil”—MGM Records E3082 (1-12" LP) List: $4.85 SIBELIUS: "ROMANCE IN C, OP. 42"; ALFVEN: "ELEGIE FROM GUSTAV II ADOLF SUITE"; NIELSEN: "DANCE OF THE COCKERELS FROM 'MASQUERADE'." ROYAL OPERA HOUSE ORCHESTRA CONDUCTED BY JOHN HOLLINGSWORTH. The gathering of the melodic airs from four Scandinavian countries and offering them to the buying public on one LP is an inspiration. Two works comprise the major portion of the MGM release. The gay, lilting, and captivating picture of Spring slipping into Summer. Alfven’s “Midsummer Vigil,” repre- senting Sweden, should be enough to sell this album. The second, Johan Svend- sen’s “Carnival At Paris,” Norwegian entry, not as bubbly as the Alfven Facts piece, is tenderly beautiful until it builds to its exciting finish depicting a bawdy Mardi Gras in olden France. Sibelius represents Finland with “Romance in C Major” and Nielsen is chosen to represent Denmark with his light and airy “Dance of the Cockerels.” Should be one of MGM’s big selling albums.

REUBKE-LISZT — E. Power Biggs at the Organ — Columbia ML 4820 (12" LP) List: $5.45 REUBKE: SONATA IN C MINOR FOR ORGAN ON THE 94th PSALM; LISZT: FANTASIA AND FUGUE ON B. A. C.H.— GLORIA AND CREDO (FROM AN ORGAN MASS). In 1863, during the height of the Civil War, the great Upham organ arrived in Boston. Presently housed in the Methuen Memorial Music Hall in Methuen, Mass., this great organ has been referred to as “the masterpiece of Europe’s

master builder . . . which will probably long remain beyond dispute the first of the New World and second to none in the old world.” On this record, the first to be made on this organ with the approval of its trustees, E. Power Biggs presents pieces by Liszt and Reubke. Biggs has probably made more records of serious music than any organist in the world. Many may be familiar with his work through his Sunday morning CBS radio concert broadcasts. Disk has a limited appeal to lovers of heavy organ music.

ROY HARRIS—“Sonata For Violin and Piano”—Josef Gingold, violin; Johana Harris, piano ROBERT PALMER—“Quartet For Piano and Strings”—John Kirkpatrick, piano; B. Goodman, violin; J. Garvey, viola; R. Swenson, cello -—Columbia Records ML 4842 (1-12" LP) List: $5.45 Another in the Modern American Music Series designed to acquaint the public with modern American music. This release records Roy Harris’ “Sonata” with Gingold on the violin and Harris on the piano. The reverse side features the Robert Palmer “Quartet” with John Kirkpatrick a.t the piano. Appeal strictly limited to a small portion of the longhair trade. POPULAR: FLORIAN ZABACH—“Heart Strings”—Music For Your Mood—Decca DL 5507 (10" LP) List: $3.00

NOCTURNE; I DON'T STAND A GHOST OF A CHANCE WITH YOU; LET'S DO IT; YOU ARE

TOO BEAUTIFUL; SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME; I SURRENDER DEAR; OLD DEVIL MOON; TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS. Florian ZaBach, who today is one of the most popular pop violinists, probably best known for his clever version of “Hot Canary,” takes the spotlight against a lush setting and presents a pleasing selection of standards. As the album advertises, the tunes are slow and romantic in style. Mood music designed for the quiet hours. ZaBach is not tricky on these seven standards and one original. He renders them in a straight manner casting a tender and dream- dusted mood. ZaBach has a good sized teen-age following which should aid in the sale of these tunes aimed at all age groups. Album has universal appeal.

DANCE PARTY—Royale Records L.P. 1801 (1-10") List: 69c CHANGING PARTNERS; EBB TIDE; RAGS TO RICHES; YOU, YOU, YOU; HOT TUNE-BARCA- ROLLE; WALTZ-SKATER'S WALTZ; FOX TROT—AMERICAN PATROL; BOLERO-LA SEVILIANA. Strictly for the price market. A pretty fair treatment of four currently top pop tunes on one side and four standards on the reverse. The reverse deck is obviously old masters as the price of the L.P. couldn’t support the full orchestras used in some of the pieces. For those not too concerned in the quality of the record, it represents a good buy.

LES BANAN—“Memorable Music from the Pen of Victor Herbert”—A440 Records AMM 1001 (1-10" LP) List: $3.85 TOYLAND; GYPSY LOVE SONG; INDIAN SUMMER; MARCH OF THE TOYS; THINE ALONE; A KISS IN THE DARK; WHEN YOU'RE AWAY; EVERY DAY IS LADIES DAY WITH ME. Les Banan runs through eight of the familiar and lovely tunes of Victor Herbert via the organ console. Herbert’s lovely melodies are beautifully fitted to the organ tones and Banan’s readings provide about 20 minutes of restful, nos- talgic and stirring strains.

“INVITATION TO DINING”—Music For Your Mood—Decca Records DL 8057 (1-12" LP) List: $4.85 MANHATTAN SERENADE; THE RIVER SEINE; THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE; ALL FOR YOU; O MIO BABBINO CARO; LONDONDERRY AIR; WHEN A GYPSY MAKES HIS VIOLIN CRY; MUSETTA'S WALTZ SONG; MARGUERITE WALTZ. PLAYED BY VICTOR YOUNG, CAMARATA, PAUL WHITEMAN, MEREDITH WILLSON, PETER YORKE AND THEIR ORCHESTRAS. Decca has put together the soft and gentle strains of the familiar tunes listed above. Lovely relaxing music to serve as a respite from the blare of the radio and television sets. Should garner a nice piece of the business from that special market at which this disk is aimed.

ODETTE—“Under Paris Skies”—with Johnny Guarnieri Orch. MGM E239 (10" LP) List: $3.00 MY LOST MELODY; GOODBYE DARLING, HELLO FRIEND; UNDER PARIS SKIES; MY HEART

AND I SAY "THANKS"; IF YOU GO; DANSE AVEC MOI; COMME-CI, COMME-CA; ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEART SINGS. Odette, popular chanteuse, who has had quite a few tough breaks in her short career, aims for the top again with this interesting French flavored album. Her deep, sultry voice adds an exciting flavor to these beautiful standards, many of which immediately remind one of France. The tunes are delivered in a sincere fashion in both French and English. Package is aimed at folks (MmnMa'Rivoivfc who go for the chanteuse type of delivery. “Under Paris Skies” best demon- "Columbia/' Trade Marks Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.

EMIL COLEMAN—“Tangos and Rumbas”—DeLuxe Record LP 199-8 (1-10") List: $2.95 LA CUMPARSITA; JALOUSIE; EL CHOCLO; LA CUCARACHA; MARIA ELENA; HELP ME (CUATRO VIDAS). Emil Coleman, one of the first to introduce rhumba to Americans, presents American six lush Latin American standards that will appeal to the Latin listening audience and the dancers who have just laid down their dancing shoes to concentrate on the moving hairline. Today’s terpsichorean is knocking himself out with the mambo. With the Tango staging a comeback there are three mighty danceable items, although the field is limited. From the arrangements we glean these are not recent productions.

GEORGIA GIBBS—“Under Paris Skies”—Mercury EP-1-3176 (EP) List: $1.47 COMEE-CI, COMME-CA; UNDER PARIS SKIES; I LOVE PARIS; AUTUMN LEAVES; Georgia Gibbs, one of popdom’s top songstresses, lends her exciting voice to four beautiful tunes, each of which is a reminder of Paris and France. The thrush packs a load of feeling into these meaningful songs, each of which should become a standard. The music is an excellent salesman, but the beautiful, enamelled reproduction of a Parisian street scene should attract many more coins. • - •

TONY MARTIN—“Sings Songs For Romance”— Mercury Records EP1-3181 List: $1.47 BODY AND SOUL; TEA FOR TWO; STARDUST; GUILTY. Tony Martin casts a spell of stardust with four romantic ballads that have achieved the status of “pop classics.” Tony’s at his best on these melty items that will bring back memories and delight romantics of all ages.

JAZZ: ANDRE PREVIN—“Andre Previn Plays Gershwin”—RCA Victor LPM-1011 (12" LP) List: $4.19

NICE WORK IF YOU CAN DO IT; THERE'A A BOAT DAT'S LEAVIN' SOON FOR NEW YORK; LOVE IS HERE TO STAY; I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU; HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON; MAYBE; LOOKIN' FOR A BOY; LOVE WALKED IN; THEY ALL LAUGHED; STRIKE UP THE BAND. When George Gershwin died, Andre Previn was just eight years old. Now, several years later, the skilled Previn brings the great Gershwin’s traditional tunes up fo date with outstanding progressive arrangements. The talented pianist is a master of the progressive treatment and is rated among the tops by jazz enthusiasts. As can well be recognized from just one listen, the artist thrives on these classical Gershwin works. Album should enjoy a healthy sale with Previn and jazz followers alike. His outstanding fingerwork and delightful style are rare today.

KID ORY’S CREOLE JAZZ BAND—Good Time Jazz L-21 (10" LP) List: $3.00 SOUTH RAMPART ST. PARADE; THE GIRLS GO CRAZY; ST. JAMES INFIRMARY; BILL BAILEY; MILNEBERG JOYS; CREOLE LOVE CALL; BUCKET'S GOT A HOLE IN IT; AUNT HAGAR'S BLUES. Kid Ory, one of jazz’ pioneers, who has been associated with jazz music for over fifty years, takes his trombone in hand and leads his Creole Jazz Band through eight exciting jazz pieces. The album is a high fidelity recording. Ory’s career spans the development of jazz from the primitive music of the Louisiana country-side, to the present day style. He belongs to the dance class of jazz bands with the softer sweeter sound. And in this fashion, he demonstrates the many facets of traditional jazz. “South Rampart St. Parade” is a good demonstrator.

EARL BOSTIC—King Records EP 202 List: $2.95 ALWAYS; LINGER AWHILE; MERRY WIDOW; EARL BLOWS A FUSE. The delightful alto sax tones of Earl Bostic shine on this E.P. Bostic romps through his individualized interpretations of three standards and an original. Bostic’s original improvisations of Irving Berlin’s “Always” and Franz Lehar’s “Merry Widow” will delight the jazz afficionado.

DUKE ELLINGTON—Duke Ellington Plays—Allegro Elite 4014 (10" LP) List: $1.49 JAM-A-DITTY; FLIPPANT FLURRY; SULTRY SUNSET; GOLDEN FEATHER; OVERTURE TO JAM SESSION-PART 1; OVERTURE TO JAM SESSION-PART 2; MAGENTA HAZE; BLUE SKIES. Although the Duke Ellington name is an attraction in itself, probably the biggest coin catcher of this package is the $1.49 tab. Music of this quality is hard to find at this price. The eight Ellington renditions of this rhythm material cost less than two singles. Ellington followers will probably ' jump at the opportunity to get this item for so low a cost. “Blue Skies” should act as an influential salesman.

ICOUNTRY & WESTERN: I RCA VICTOR RECORD No. 20-5677 ARTHUR “GUITAR BOOGIE” SMITH and his Cracker Jacks—“Foolish ^Oues tions”— MGM E236 (10" LP) List: $3.00 I- \ OF WHO SHOT WILLIE; I'M AFRAID WIMMIN'; FOOLISH QUESTIONS; JUST LOOKIN'- HE WENT THAT-A-WAY; DON'T LOOK FOR TROUBLE; I M ONLY TELLING YOU; CONVERSAflON WITH A MULE. I i Arthur Smith, whose proficiency at the guitar, has endeared him to so manv fans of country music, comes up with a most appealing package of light-hearted I rca Victor i ditties. The majority of this delightful assortment is Smith originals, which FIRST IN RECORDED MUSIC should prove to be a convincing selling point since his own composition i of I “Guitar Boogie” has been estimated to have passed the three million mark -Kurort no* in sales. In this collection, the versatile Smith demonstrates his charming vocal style in addition to his nimble guitar pickin’. The Cracker Jacks colorfully blend in their vocal and instrumental support.

“It’s What’s in THE CASH BOX That Counts” The Cash Box Page 42 March 27, 1954 Community Affairs

This was a tough week for local coinmen, particularly game operators. Not only did they have to take care of Mr. Whiskers on the income tax, but license payments fall due on the same March 15. Strangely enough, we didn’t hear any large squawks—only a few heartfelt moans—but followed immediately by a smile and the comment “Don’t remind me.” The general feeling among wholesalers was one of optimism. Business has been good, and there was considerably activity this week in both reconditioned and new equipment. * * * * * Two new ChiCoin amusement machines arrived at Albert Simon, Inc., simultaneously with Frank Mencuri, ChiCoin’s sales manager.

In addition, this wholesaler was showing Genco’s new “Basketball” game, a tremendously exciting game.
