To find out, I recently made some inquiries about Colum bia's military twin, Fort Jackson. The Fort Jackson military band which to the casual observer resembles a well-organized mili tary unit is actually a happily undisciplined group of displaced musicians. The men of this outfit are refugees from many of the nation's top dance bands and rep resent some of the finest music schools In America. Some of the better-known mus icians who have passed through "the Fort" in recent years are Louis Smith, the young trumpeter who is doing so well replacing the late Clifford Brown on the Max Roach Quintet; Rufus Jones, for several years drummer with Lionel Hampton; and Paul Horne, alto sax player who joined Chico Hamilton's new group just last month. In Well-Known Bands The names of many more of the Jackson alumni are not so well known, but the bands they are playing are. There are Jackson men with Hal McIntyre, Buddy Morrow, Ray McKinley, and Dizzy Gillespie. On the legitimate side of the musical world, there are men at Fort Jackson who have studied at music schools like Eastman, the Cincinnati conservatory, Oberlin, and Juliard, and who have per formed with the Atlanta Sym phony, the National Art GaHe.ry Orchestra, the Cleveland Symphony and the Robert Shaw Chorale. *As you may imagine, the daily routine of military lif, with its onutinual drilling, incesat Ins lose Ball mtertain with Kappa Delt in the Jeffer- ballroom for i the hours of diamond-shape orre and his greenery.

LRY MUSIC son 's Fish ' pections, and 5 a.m. reveille is not the healthiest atmosphere for musical inspiration. One private, a former bass player with the Memphis Symphony, lamented to me, "I've been . here for eight weeks and they haven't let me touch a bass yet." Create Own Amusement But the Jackson bandmen man age to create their own amuse ment. At night and on week ends, after the parades and drills of the routine day are over, the band barracks sounds like a music con servatory. They have other ways of ex pressing their feelings, and the talent to do so quite well. At a formal division review, for ex ample, the band will strike up a march like "The Stars and Stripes Foevr and play lustily while six hornmen in the rear are wail ing on some Dixieland. At rehearsals, they will trade parts so that when the unsuspect ing first sergent gives the down beat, the trombones squeal the piccolo parts while the clarinets honk along with the tubas. Once, a visiting colonel decided that he would like to lead the band. He was handed the score to Sousa's "The Thunderer" and stepped pompously to the podium.
