ELLA FITZGERALD (Decca 24529)
"To Make A Mistake Is Human" (3:06)
"In My Dreams" (3:01)
The great Ella Fitzgerald, hard to match on any tune, sets with a pair
here that should have her heard
climbing after this cookie but pronto. It’s great tonsiling by Ella, on
a tune that is currently attracting
wide attention. Titled “To Make A Mistake Is Human.” Ella lends the
ditty her grand teeming tones in
beautiful fashion. Tempo is slow and deliberate with the strong sincere
lyric driving thru. Flipped we find
“In My Dreams” another top notch disking by Ella. Wordage parrots the
title, with the great songstress
piping the beautiful lyric in tones that score. We go for the top deck,
“To Make A Mistake Is Human”—
we’re sure you will too.

RACE DISK O' THE WEEK
SAVANNAH CHURCHILL (Columbia 30146)
"The Best Of Friends" (2:55)
"The Things You Do To Me" (2:40)
The gorgeous artistry of the grand Savannah Churchill comes right to the
fore to make the topside
of this disk, “The Best Of Friends,” one of the best she’s cut. The gal
simply sells the sentimental
lyrics in her very own sweet, soft style right over the goal line. And
to make the disk even greater,
the excellent harmony of The Four Tunes backgrounds her beautifully. In
addition, there’s rhythm
accompaniment which makes this shellac just about everything anyone
could ever ask for. On the
flip, with “The Things You Do To Me,” the beautiful Savannah once again
proves herself a great artist
with a ballad that’s right down her alley, sung as only she can sing it.
Here, too, The Four Tunes come
in for some of their swell harmonious back- grounding to the well known
chirp to make this side another
great cutting. This is one disk that will pull and hold play. It’s got
nickels, dimes and quarters pressed
right into it and is sure-fire for the ops who’ve been seeking more of
Savannah Churchill’s recordings.

CECIL GANT (4-Star 1284)
"I'm Traveling Alone" (2:57)
"God Bless My Daddy" (2:45)
For some many moons now we’ve been looking forward to a new disk by
Cecil Gant and we weren’t
disappointed when Cecil sent us, “I’m Traveling Alone.” How this boy can
finger those 88’s and how
that piano does ring right out of the disk—intimately —to come right
into the room and sell the tune.
But, just listen to Cecil warble this ditty, and you’ve got something
for his many, many fans to drop
plenty of coin to hear again and again. On the flip, “God Bless My
Daddy,” a sentimental tear jerker
that Cecil does with just the right touch. It’s a grand tune to listen
to and will win him many more
friends. Just latch on to this platter. It’s got plenty on the ball.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STERLING MALONE QUINTET (Bullet 287)
"Big Fat Poppa" (2:40)
"Blow Top Blues" (2:51)
With Ruth Passeur to chirp the tune, the Sterling Malone Quintet go
right over the top with “Big Fat Poppa.” This gal sure sells it for a
fare-thee-well. It’s in medium fast tempo and the lyrics are something
to listen in to. The gal sure does love that “Big Fat Poppa.” On the
flip, “Blow Top Blues,” Buddy Moore takes over the vocal job and shouts
the blues to a grand tune that’s bound to win lots of friends. It’ll get
’em movin’ ’round and noddin’ with him. Just listen to this shellac—it’s
got plenty of possibilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JACK McVEA ALL STARS (Comet 100)
"B. B. Boogie" (2:37)
"H. P. Boogie" (2:49)
Hadn’t heard anything from Jack McVea m a long time. But, we feel lots
better now, after listening
to this new release by Jack and his All Stars. It s heated boogie beat
all the way right down to your
feet. And the way. Jack sells “B. B. Boogie” is something to listen in
to. In fact, either side, H. P.
Boogie” or “B. B. Boogie” are two instrumental cuttings that Jack can be
very proud of for either one
is gonna wrap his listeners right around his finger and make ’em shuffle
right into the hottest, lowest,
boogiest boogie beat cut into wax. Just listen to this release.
