indeed a thriller.<br />

We start this week right in tune<br />
with the season. BENINY GOOD-<br />
MAN swings out with his own arrangement<br />
of that old standby<br />
JINGLE BELLS. You would never<br />
know to listen to it that this<br />
was the song our mothers sang to<br />
us when we were young. One part<br />
which is worth particular notice<br />
is the clarinet trio. <strong>The</strong> boys really<br />
do it up right. On the other<br />

then we have DID YOU MEAN IT<br />

Now for that ever popular GUY<br />
LOMBARDO, He is still, without<br />
a doubt, one of the smoothest orchestra<br />
leaders in the business and<br />
he lives up to his standard in the<br />
two recordings on this disc. On<br />
one side he presents a semi-swing<br />
piece caUed RIDIN HIGH which<br />
is a little off his usual track but<br />
which shows his ability to swing<br />
when he wants to. On the other<br />
another new tune LATCH ON<br />
which in itself is nothing special,<br />
but the piano playing is outstanding.<br />
On the next record RUBY NEW-<br />
MAN gives us two songs which are<br />
destined to become very popular.<br />
AN APPLE A DAY from the<br />
MASK and WIG Show: THIS MAD<br />
WHIRL and ONE NEVER KNOWS<br />
—DOES ONE from the Twentieth<br />
Century Fox picture: THE STOW-<br />
AWAY. <strong>The</strong> vocal on both sides<br />
is ably rendered by BARRY Mc<br />
KINLEY, former vocalist with JOE<br />
HAYMES. RUBY NEWMAN, al<br />
though not very widely known at<br />
the present seems to be one of the<br />
up and coming orchestras of the<br />
year and he is well on his way<br />
now if he is judged by those two<br />
recordings.<br />
side we have another DUCHIN<br />
melody from the same musical<br />
show. "YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING<br />
—written by the same composer<br />
and sung by the same vocalist.<br />
Now for another one of those<br />
GOODMAN swing numbers. This<br />
time the vocal on one side is of<br />
fered by BENNY GOODMAN himself<br />
and on the other side by MAR-<br />
