POPULAR

“THE POPULAR GERSHWIN”—As sung and performed by RCA Victor Artists— RCA Victor LPM-6000 (2-12" LP).

SOMEBODY LOVES ME; OF THEE I SING; LOVE WALKED IN; LOOKING FOR A BOY; STRIKE UP THE BAND; SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME; NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT; BUT NOT FOR ME; WINTERGREEN FOR PRESIDENT; THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME; FAS- CINATING RHYTHM; WHO CARES; I'LL BUILD A STAIRWAY TO PARADISE; LADY BE GOOD;

A FOGGY DAY; LOVE IS SWEEPING THE COUNTRY; I GOT A CRUSH ON YOU; DO IT AGAIN;

LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF; EMBRACEABLE YOU; I GOT RHYTHM; MINE; SONG OF THE FLAME; SWANEE; HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOIN' ON; LIZA; BIDIN' MY TIME; THEY ALL LAUGHED; S'WONDERFUL. Victor has again come up with a great item in an album called “The Popular Gershwin”—2 twelve inch platters loaded with great Gershwin standards as performed by Victor artists. The music is of the highest calibre and the label’s performers come over excellently. The records are enclosed in a box-type holder which also includes a 24 page photo and story book by Arthur Schwartz, covering some of the highlights of the late composer’s life. An inviting addition to any catalog.

MANTOVANI and his Orchestra—“Rhapsody In Blue” and “Concerto In F” by George Gershwin—Julius Katchen, piano—London LL 1262 (12" LP). Mantovani and his fabulous orchestra supply the background for Julius Katchen, a brilliant young pianist as he interprets two of the late George Gershwin’s greatest serious musical accomplishments, “Rhapsody In Blue” and “Concerto In F”. Two beautiful pieces that will meet with the approval of long hairs, pop lovers and jazz enthusiasts. Although both selections have been often recorded, the Mantovani-Katchen treatment of “Rhapsody” is truly beautiful. The full excitement of the number is enchantingly brought forth by the artists. And the striking melody needs no more praise than it has already gotten thru the years. A juicy acquisition for Gershwinites.

“DOWN TO EARTHA”—Eartha Kitt with Henri Rene and his Orch.—RCA Victor LPM-1109 (12" LP).

I WANCHA AROUND; DO YOU REMEMBER; LOOKING FOR A BOY; I'VE GOT THAT LOVIN' BUG ITCH; OH JOHN; STRANGERS IN THE STARLIGHT; THE DAY THAT THE CIRCUS LEFT TOWN; APRES MOI; THE HEEL; MAMBO DE PAREE; MY HEART'S DELIGHT; HEY JACQUE. Eartha Kitt, one of the wax world’s most exciting and unusual song stylists is featured on this album appropriately titled “Down To Eartha.” The songstress is as sexy and naughty as ever as she fashions a dozen enticing ditties in her unique manner. Most of the selections were previously issued on singles, but the collection of all the works on one disk makes this a meaty item for Kitt fans. And the cover photo of Eartha on a tiger rug is just about the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen. Cover alone will sell the disk.

“YOU’RE HEARING GEORGE SHEARING”—MGM Records E3216— (1-12" LP). TENDERLY; STROLLING; NOVEMBER SEASCAPE; SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN; SUMMERTIME; CHANGING WITH THE TIMES; AS LONG AS THERE'S MUSIC; EAST OF THE SUN; FIVE O'CLOCK

WHISTLE; I REMEMBER YOU; I'LL BE AROUND; FOR YOU. The nimble fingerings of George Shearing have been described too often, making it difficult to come up with an original word picture of the man’s talents. Suffice it to say it is Shearing at his best spinning a hypnotic spell over his listeners. His imaginative treatments of such tunes as “Tenderly,” “Summer- time,” “East of the Sun” and other standards give the lovely numbers an ever present freshness and appeal. An album with strong sales appeal for the Shearing and jazz fans.

“MOOD FOR 12” Paul Weston and his Orchestra— Columbia CL 693 (12" LP). IT'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN; I'M COMIN' VERGINIA; MEMORIES OF YOU; NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT; MY FUNNY VALENTINE; EMALINE; SKYLARK; JUDY; LOUISIANA; GEORGIA ON MY MIND; BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA; CONFESSIN'. If you’re in the mood to hear 12 top instrumental artists working with Paul Weston on 12 pretty pieces of mood music, then you’ll be wild about “Mood For 12.” On most mood type LPs, soloists are not featured, but on this one, some of the best are starred. On different bands we hear Babe Russin on tenor sax; Bill Schaefer, trombone; Clyde Hurley, trumpet; Paul Smith, piano; Barney Kessel, guitar; Eddie Miller, tenor sax; Ted Nash, tenor sax; Matty Matlock clarinet; George Van Eps, guitar; Joe Howard, trombone; Stanley Wrightsman, piano and Ziggy Elman on trumpet. Each artist is a star in his own right and each displays his wares to best advantage against the lush string backing of Paul Weston’s crew. Pretty styling of some top standards.

Gina Lollobrigida presents “Music by MINUCCI”—Coral CRL 57010 (12" LP).

A BOY ON SATURDAY NIGHT; WHAT WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU; TAKE THIS ROSE; MY IMPRESSION OF JANIE; THIS IS MY LOVE; MAKE HASTE MY LOVE; DOMANI; I'LL NEVER KNOW; LOVE IS THE WORD; THE LADY; MAKE ME; MY LOVE'S A GENTLE MAN. Although the picture of Gina Lollobrigida may be the gimmick to attract the potential customer to this LP, one spin of any of the beautiful melodies by Minucci will be the thing to convince the customer that he’s getting top grade music. Because Minucci is a composer with a great flair for enchanting melodies. He has already made a name for himself via the glowing melody of “Domani” which he penned. His music is soft and sweet but it differs from other mood music in that it has a charm all its own. Minucci will attract many fans when this album gets around. Disk contains a wealth of material for pop recording.

“DANCE BAND IN TOWN”—Ralph Marterie and his Orchestra—Mercury MG 20066 (12" LP). CASTLE ROCK; SEPTEMBER SONG; BEAUTIFUL OHIO; PERDIDO; ALICE BLUE GOWN; DIANE; TENDERLY; ONCE IN A WHILE; STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY; BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS; ALONE; THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTIONS. The Ralph Marterie Orchestra, which in the past few years has come from out of nowhere and taken over as one of the top dance bands in the country, displays the music that has made him so popular on this LP. It’s a most enjoyable album featuring 12 standards set to fox trot and lindy dance tempos. A terrific LP for terpsichoreans of all ages. Party going teen-agers will have a picnic with this type of disk. “Ora/y those records best suited for commercial use are reviewed by THE CASH BOX” The Cash Box , Music Page 17 September 10, 1955

ARTHUR MURRAY presents “Dance And Dream Time”—Capitol T 641 (12" LP).

MY ROMANCE; 'S WONDERFUL; PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS; TABOO; CHAMPAGNE WALTZ; • FALLING IN LOVE WITH LOVE; INSPIRATION; TANGO DE LA ROSA; DENGOZA; YA, YA; THE TOUCH OF YOUR LIPS; THIS CAN'T BE LOVE.

Another in the Arthur Murray Dance Series of LPs is issued by Capitol. But whereas the other albums highlight one specific dance throughout, this record mixes up a number of tempos tailor made for hoofers—tango, foxtrot, waltz, etc. The numbers feature the Keith Textor Singers on vocals and the arrange- ments were made by Sid Feller, Enjoyable record for a party. Every LP contains a free Arthur Murray Dance Certificate.

“I’LL ALWAYS BE IN LOVE WITH YOU”—Milano and his Orchestra— MGM E3184 (12" LP).

LEAVE ME JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOU; IF YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME; IF IT WERE UP TO ME; I'LL ALL MY LIFE; ALWAYS BE IN LOVE WITH YOU; I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU EVERY DAY; DON'T SIT UNDER THE APPLE TREE; WHEN THEY ASK ABOUT YOU; THAT'S MY WEAKNESS; PLEASE DON'T TALK ABOUT ME. MGM offers a tribute to one of America’s leading tunesmiths, Sammy Stept by presenting ten of his best known compositions under the baton of Milano and his orchestra. The LP is an easy going, ear-pleasing item not intended to fascinate the listener with unusual sounds. It’s just simple music of the standard variety presented in mood music fashion. For adults who appreciate an opportunity to reminisce for a few minutes, this is the album to get hold of.

“HONKY TONK PIANO”—“Knuckles” O’Toole— Grand Award 33-314 (1-12" LP) CRAZY OTTO RAG; THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE; IDA; PAPER DOLL; IF YOU KNEW SUSIE; SORRENTO; SANTA LUCIA; O SOLE MIO; MAPLE LEAF RAG; BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO;

THE BOWERY; THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK; GLAD RAG 'DOLL; I WONDER WHO'S KISSING

With honky tonk piano wrapping up so many sales, it is a natural for pianists of “Knuckles” O’Toole’s particular talent to enter the derby. “Knuckles” sprays notes in all directions with a facility for conveying a happy lift to any tune. And, his choice of material is large and varied, as can be seen by the listing above. Grand material for “joining im” Colorful painting by Tracy Sugarman depicting the era when this type of eornball playing was the vogue, adorns the cover.

CLASSICAL

TCHAIKOVSKY “SYMPHONY NO. 5”— William Steinberg conducting The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.—Capitol P8325— (1-12" LP). Tchaikovsky’s “Fifth,” one of the most familiar symphonies and most recorded, is offered by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under the guiding baton of William Steinberg. It is a fresh, exciting presentation of the work—and an excellent addition to any library without one, or one that does not have an up-to-date recording. Steinberg has been building a catalog of the better known symphonies for the label and his importance grows with each release.

SIX OVERTURES—Camden CAL 250—Festival Concert Orchestra— (1-12" LP) RIENZI, WAGNER; RUSSIAN AND LUDMILLA, GLINKA; MIGNON, THOMAS; FATINITZA, SUPPE; LA DAME BLANCHE, BOlELDIEU; CONSECRATION OF THE HOUSE, BEETHOVEN. Perhaps the most famous “purveyor” of light classical music to suit the taste of the buying public has been The Boston “Pops” under the baton of Arthur Fiedler. Fiedler and The Boston “Pops” are offered under the disguised appel- ation of Festival Concert Orchestra on this release. The orchestra plays six lovely, melody filled overtures, aimed at the vast middle market of light classical lovers. One solid hour of delightful music. Any one of the six bands can be used as sales ‘clinchers’.

“SCINTILLATION”—Carlos Salzedo—Mercury MG80003— (1-12" LP). THE HARMONIOUS; BLACKSMITH VARIATIONS; GIGA; SCINTILLATION; BALLADE; MENUET D'AMOUR; PETITE VALSE; LA DESIRADE; TRAIPSIN' THRU ARKANSAW.

The harp genius of Carlos Salzedo is presented in offerings that are for the main part, Salzedo compositions. Title piece, “Scintillation”, is probably Salzedo’s best known work for the solo harp. Today’s recording techniques bring to the recorded harp a wealth of sounds and brilliance that enhance its solo value. Its delicacy will endear many to harp solos. A good sale to a limited audience.

JAZZ

BOB SCOBEY’S FRISCO BAND—Good Time Jazz Record GTJ L-12006— (1-12" LP). BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC; SOMEDAY SWEETHEART; PARSONS, KANAS BLUES; STRANGE BLUES; MEMPHIS BLUES; DOWN IN JUNGLETOWN; SWEET GEORGIA BROWN; BEALE STREET BLUES; MOBILE; FRIENDLESS BLUES; CARELESS LOVE; BILL BAILEY. Bob Scobey’s Frisco Band runs through one dozen sides and at the conclusion of the last band you find you are ready for more. It is a series of the Dixieland standards that you might hear played by any Dixieland combination, but Scobey’s treatments of the tunes combined with Clancy Hayes’s vocals, are offered in a manner that falls easy on the ears. They lose none of their sparkle, bounce or nostalgic appeal, but they do create a mood that makes a listener receptive and relaxed. Should make a strong impact on the Dixieland audience.

Not all the beauty of a Wurlitzer 1800 is evident to

location patrons. It's visible only to the eyes of the operator

when he opens the back of the phonograph —-or when he

opens the cash box door.

It's the beauty of Wurlitzer 1800 precision engineering

that means trouble-free operation, perpetual peak perform-

ance, low operating overhead—more of the "Take" to take

home.
