dance bands and the results in the music because of this deficiency. Dis- cussing this difference in the music it- self, he suddenly' declared, Why', even you could be a band leader!'l and then quickly explained as a soothing balm for any injured feelings that may have resulted, You see, all a band leader really needs are things that are easily accessible to mzgbody and er'ery'b0dy'. All one need do is go to the nearest music store and buy a baton go to the nearest clothiers and buy a fancy dress suit go to an arranger and have him arrange the music stand up in front of a group of men vvive the baton in the fancy dress suit tapping your foot to the music 1rr inged by your arranger and poo you re a bnfzzffcrzdcf ' However Mr Roth said thit many of our leading lcaders of binds are far more accomplished than this many of them being expert musicirns There are though miny who lcnow nothing whatsoever about music hold ing their positron only bcciusc of plcising personality and 1 nice smile those two seeming to be the only ncrr mms for a successful binclleider But in the cise of an orchcstir le rcler one must re illy study ind lcnow music usuilly play tn instrument him self before he cin conduct in oiches tri Wfhere the band inv tri rbly pl Lys the sime beat or rhythm the orchestrr const intly ch inges A leidcr must lvnow the range incl il litv of thc in stiumcnts in his orchcstir so th it thcn rcitv as wl ole c um Assimilating all this wide ind v ir T X if 74 sf l' 'Thx ' 'ir 1 X 157, W ly pg c, wrt' 1,-Ei!! wa' rf of education and experience, but in Mr. Roth's mind, and using band and orchestra music as a basis for this comparison of leaders, I think the orchestra music suffers much less as a result of this contrast! Of course there are many more mus- ical maestros you'd like to hear about, for instance your pulsating Professor of Musical Knowledge the smooth Southern Gentleman who introduces to his frittering floclc the novel idea of singing song titles which have been well received by many dancers and incidentally well copied by the other bands Another one of your pets is that drum beatin gum chew in yitterbug Gene Krupa Manys the shoe sole th its been worn out 1 hoofin to the rhythmic bombrrclment of this min with 1 music mania He represents in the minds of most the absolute em bocliment of true swing To its clas sical criticizing enemies it might be considered in not quite such a frvor ible light It has musicll v ilue or is the swing sceptics would sry with up lifted brow and tone of interiogrtion It h is music tl value?
