music lovers as The Sentimental Gen- tleman of Swingf' Asked naturally what he thought of Swing, our Sentimental Gentleman seemed a little hesitant, seemingly afraid of something. Further investi- gation, however, brought to light his explanatory statement, I have a jit- terbug daughter at home, stated with such a droll and apprehensive expres- sion that he soon overcame his own sense of dignity, and laughing, ruined a perfectly-planned joke. My musical career, when I first started playing the trombone w as more in a classical mood My brother immy have you heard of him? he asked glibly hes an orchestra le ider too' At our acquiescence he beamed happily and continued This brother of mine also played an instrument the saxophone Mr Dorsey s theme song from which he received the noble name with which we commenced this interview is an import from over the blue Atlantic Merrie England to be exact M Dorsey spent a lot of time discussing his many friends and then brought in a very curious point You see he explained, my first name IS Tommy my middle name is Francis and my last name is Dorsey all of which is an accepted fact At this point his per turbation became particularly perturb ed can you see any azccoznzzfable rea son for all my friends calling me Haw? Our journey was halted next for an extended visit with Allen Roth the lulling yet lilting leader of the Schaef fer Rev ue Mr Roth and Mr Duchin seem somewhat suspiciously to have come together on their Swing and Sweet definitions for Al Roth dehnes Sweet natural rhythm and Swing as the embroidery of that melody, and he remarked rather wryly, Uembroidering it sometimes to a point of complete non-recognition, even by the composer himself! Delving further into the problem, probably a carryover from his teaching days at Wfashington University, he gave many examples to prove his point that age had much to do with people's taste for all cultural attain- ments. However, bringing it to bear practically also, he used the clothes liked and worn by jitterbugs. Wfould the same be either liked or worn by older people? he interrogated An orchestra lppeals to one of two things either the feet or the ears Very seldom do they appeal to both at the same time Mr Roths orchestra plays both types of music, leaning mostly tow ard the softer sweeter melodies A a vocalist Allen Roth features Karen Kempel a beautiful soprano who sings many semiclassical songs Another unusual fact besides the one that such a singer appears with a dance orches tra is the fact that Miss Kempel who has a much higher musical range than many other singers is very individual in that she is able to sing minus the use of one lung having had it col lapsed after a severe case of pneu monra There is an enormous difference between an orchestra and a band more than you might expect and he very entertainingly explained the sup pression of string instruments the vio lin which incidentally Mr Roth has mastered violas and cellos in the .x t f .FWXJ Q' 'ww 3 KN W P9 mix K 'X N 1 iffy!
