COUNT BASE , ' Broadway, the mecca of musicians and performers alike the woirld over, recently voiced its praises of a sepia son of rhythm, Count Basie, when he opened at the Famous Dobi'on 52nd Street and berany fhn firrt cn1.iri.ll full band to invade its nitery sector out side of the Cotton Club for many years. Realizing an ambition which has been with hiirrsince his beginning with Benny Moten several years ago and later when he himself acquired the aggregation upon the uptimely death of the great Moten, Basie produces the gind of swing music that's new and .fasdn&tingto its habitues. Its critics hearing him there during his initial performance had this to say: Malcoln Johnson, New York Sun: "Fifty second street is swing once more, with the Famous Door reborn with air-conditioning and -the?gnrnd~WUSic of Count Basie and his orchestra.? For those not up on such matters, t,his is a rising Negro band born o\it Kansas City way, which is unmistakably head I ed for the top* There are swing u_ .i? u uuriuzs, I'UCII Willi tut^r v* excellence, but for a band that set ties down solidly for an evening a rhythmic work and pushes on with unremitting drive and spirit there is nothing in * town or out to match the Count and his thirteen associates. Already musicians have made it a nitly port of' call, with the likehood strong that on any given nites you will find such .men as Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden, Benny Carter. Roy Eld redge or Dave Tough as close to the band stand as union rules will permit.. Much of this attraction derives from the fact that the band does as much uuarranged as arranged playing and really has the soloists to make the jamming worthwhile. With a remarkable rhythm secticm fine aaxes and topne-teh brass, theband plays music that both swings and make sense a rare combinat ion. Vocals are delivered in the inni" gtylc by -James Rushing und Helen Humes, the latter a new singer who is certain to become well kriown. With Count Basie, the Famous Do>or for an unlimited stay" Such praises- as those were I plenty tne aay anter uount open ed his stay on West 52nd street and may be the turning point m the presentation of colored bands | along the gay white way, I bringing them once again into tjhe popular favor they enjoyed down town-ward during the life of Jim Europe. t a Card of thanks i We are taking this method to thank our many friends and relatives for favors and kindnesses shown us during our sweet mother long illness, since there are so many we shall refrain from call.j ing names in Columbia, but wc wish t a thank and acknowledge the telegniffis" and (letters "from out-of-state and city, namely: Miami Mrs. William Garnett and Lu cile, Mr. Luther and Rosa Waytes from Richmond, Va.
