Jones) Signpost Columnist Interviews Band Leader By Bill Bobolis I certainly enjoyed my interview with Elliot Lawrence, 22-year-old band leader. His ingratiating per sonality and enthusiasm showed a person who is both artistically and sociality equipped to conduct suc cessfully a progressive dance band. Elliot's crew, which is ostensibly a sweet band, is pioneering uic advance in this amorous vein, and it's men like Elliot Lawrence, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, and Duke Ellington, are going to elevate the jazz idiom to its de served high place in the music world. The select circle of big name bands has been widened by the addition of youthful Elliot Lawrence. Since his first engagement at the Cafe Kouge one ana -a nau years ago, Elliot's popularity has engulfed the music world in a steady surging flow. A peculiar thing about Elliot is that ne nas performed at many large danceries across the nauon wun nine or advance publicity, yet he has been enthusiastically received each time. A factor that speaks loudly of his success is that the band's books have always balanced in black. Does Own Aranging Elliot's own idiom is expressed Viir fVip Vin-nr sinr.p. he does nrac- ticaJly all of the arranging. His originality is rerresnimg to me His instrumentations employ use of instruments such as the oboe, bassoon, English horn, French horn, and flute, besides the usual array. It's easy to see that Elliot's success is the outgrowth of his musical talent. He acnievea ms B.

Under the direction of Roland Parry, J. Clair Anderson and Delmar Dickson, an enjoyable and fast moving musicale was presented. Mr. Parry's choir sang two numbers from his Christmas oratorio, "Zeal of the Lord,"' and "Let Joy Resound," with Kenneth Harris and Don Becker as soloists, accompa nied by the orchestra. A auet composed of Berna Goodwin and Marilyn Belna sang, "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains". Baritone Don Becker was also solist in the dynamic "Vagabond King", which was sung with the popular Dorian group. Student Grant Russell was the arranger of "Deep River", another Dorian number. "Blow, Trumpets, Blow", sung by the Dorian quartet, composed of Grant Russell, Junior Stokes, William Bobolis and Orvil Holley, received an encore and the audience was rewarded with the popular number, "Moonglow . Mr. Anderson's Musettes gave "Children of the Moon", and "Near You". The band furnished many well-known favorites. Especially appreciated were "The Little Rhapsody in Blue", by Gershwin, and the final number, "Pavanne '. b. &. And The Flowers Are Furnished by OLIVE and MARK Klenke Floral Member of F. T. D.
