I am speaking of the fact that the members of the I. F. C. Com mittee - On - What - Bands - Shall - We - Get - To - Play - For - This - Year's - Greek - Week have outdone themselves in contracting some of the darnedest musicians around for their annual extrava ganza. These happy lads have procured the services of the Woody Herman Band, the Kai Winding Septet, and the Charlie Mingus Group. That this is a cause for celebra tion is obvious for these men rep resent the avantgarde of modern music, the experimentalists of jazz. Charlie Mingus Group Charlie Mingus is an unusual person. He plays the bass fiddle. He la1ys solos on the bass. He leadis his group with the bass. In brief, Charlie Mingus is a very fine bass player. He has a cute trick of playing with the bow on one string while plucking simul Staneously on another. MAKI * APPOINTI I NOWI I Sales rep resentc A\.

At times, the men in his own group don't fully understand all of his ideas, for Charlie Mingue is one of the most profound musi cians in all of Jazzdom. He speaks a different language, one which may be easily appreciated even .11 not completely understood. Kai Winding, pronounced Wind (like the air)-ing, has been playing trombone for quite a while. As proof, he made his first appear ance in the Metronome and Down. beat All-Star polls 10 years ago and has been there ever since. He was one of the earlier leaders of the modern school, having made some ou$standing boptype records, like "Wallington's God-Child" and "Bop City," in 1949. He was with Stan Kenton's Band before that. Kal Winding Kai is a sound and versatile musician. He has played every sort of music from progressive jazz tc Pepsi Cola jingles; he does most of the arranging for his Septet. He teamed with fellow-trombonist, J. J. Johnson, in 1954 to form the now-famous Kai & J. J. Quintet, a group characterized by pleas. ing sounds, unusual ideas, and ex cellent musicianship.

His present status is in sharp contrast to the obscurity in which even the best jazz artists labored until a few years ago, and his rise is typical of the Cinderella like acceptance of jazz in today's entertainment fields. Certainly no one would make the same whopping mistake now that an NBC announcer made several years ago; introducing the Kenton band, this announcer told his na tional audience to "stay tuned now for the music of Stan Kenton Orchestra, featuring the lovely Kai Winding." The Mingus and Winding groups will be here for the Greek Week Friday night concert, Feb. 22. One warning, however, this is not music for the footstompers, hand clappers, or "Gol Gol"-shouters; this is music to listen to and enjoy. Woody Herman Band For the big Saturday night dance, the Greeks have lined up the band of Woody Herman. There isn't much to say about the Her man band. Just -come and listen! By the way, for those who like to get their money's worth and dance as well as listen, the Herman band can do a fine job.

Lambda Chi Names Lambda Chi Alpha social fra Atlantic City's "Steel Pier," and an obscure New Jersey club called "Chubby's," I will say that they can play just about any type of music and play it well, from pretty ballads to jumping "flagwavers." Then too, Woody himself fronts the band on alto sax and clarinet, sings the vocals, and adds his own brand of showmanship to the occa sion. All in all, it is quite a treat.
