Does Stereo Produce BetterMusic? NARAS Panel MullsAnswer to Puzzling Question

NEW YORK-Gerry Mulligan, top jazz composer, ar-ranger and baritone saxophonist extraordinare, mayhave struck at the heart of the stereo question whenhe asked a NARAS panel last week: "Is stereo beingused to produce better music, or are records beingmade simply to show off stereo?"

Mulligan made his strong statement as a member ofthe opposing team in the debate centered around thetopic "Is Stereo Necessary?" He was joined by DavidKapp, president of Kapp Records, Woody Herman,famed band leader, and Frances Robinson, assistant di-rector of the Metropolitan Opera.

Opposing this quartet-which was extremely empha-tic in its views against the present system of stereopresentation-was an equally assertive team of SkitchHenderson, conductor, composer and orch. leader, Iiin-ny Albam, jazz composer and arranger, Enoch Light,prexy of Command Record and Bill Miltenburg, formerRCA chief engineer, now with Ampex.

Mulligan's question came midpoint in the debatewhich had seen interesting, yet mild arguments placedbefore a large assembly in the Fine Recording Studioin mid -Manhattan.

The point Mulligan seemed to be making and whichinterested the A&R and record execs attending the firstNARAS sponsored debate was whether ping pong ef-fects were in essence the major contribution which ste-reo has made. Mulligan contended that he works withhis musicians to "achieve a volume level, a blend dur-

Twist Roars On,Hyped by CheckerScores on Charts

Discs, flicks, niteries-no one and nothingis spared in the spiraling onslaught of TheTwist, the most enthusiastically received-andperformed - dance craze in years. Parkway'sChubby Checker, the Father of The Twist, Isin the unique position of having eight show-ings on Music Vendor's charts.

A frustrating factor for some manufacturersis the tremendous demand by adults for stereoTwist albums. Frustrating because four of thefive hot Twist LPs on MV's top 60 chart-Chubby Checker with "Your Twist Party,""Twist," "For Twisters Only" and "Let's TwistAgain"-are not in stereo. Consequently, rack-ing up extra sales are such stereo LPs as Rou-lette's "Doin' The Twist at the PeppermintLounge," by Joey Dee and His Starliters (onthe chart), Epic's "Society Dances The Twist,"by Lester Lanin and His Orchestra; Capitol's"It's Twistin' Time, by George Hudson andThe Kings of Twist; "Twist," by Dolton's TheVentures, and Cameo's "Meyer Davis PlaysThe Twist."

Singles on MV's chart include ChubbyChecker's "The "The Twist," "Let's TwistAgain" and `Twistin' U.S.A.," plus readings byJoey Dee and His - Starliters ("Peppermint

Math + Music =Interested Jr. HS PUpils

Music Vendor has become a classroom "tool"at Eastchester (N.Y.) Junior High School. MissFran Goldberg, an eighth grade mathematicsteacher is using MV as a diversion for her reg-ular classroom and study hall students.

"Many students noticing the magazine on mydesk, began asking to see the survey charts,"she revealed. "So after they've completed theirassignments I read them the top 100 singlesand then the fun begins."

By "fun" Miss Goldberg means that the stu-dents' enthusiasm for the discs oftimes becomesvociferous. "Most of the kids compare thecharts with the singles they own, and whenI read them the top songs, many cheer or boo,depending on whether they own the records."she explained.

Teaching regular and business math, MissGoldberg has over 120 students in her classesat the Westchester school. How does a mathteacher come to Music Vendor? Simple; she'sengaged to MV's News Editor.

Encompassing I.)roffransWhen the Duke Ellington Band plays, time

disintegrates. That was the eflect the Dukehad on his Town I lall ( NY) concert audiencelast week, when his 14 -piece aggregation play-ed both vintage and current material.

Ellington evergreens were "Black And TaitFantasy" and "Creole Love Call," contempo-rary selections included "Asphalt Jungle" TVtheme, "Paris Blues" movie theme and CongoSquare" from "Drum Is A Woman."

Despite the usual Sam Woodyard drum soloon "Skin Deep," the concert reaffirmed the pop-ularity of other familiar Ellington concert fa-vorites, such as Johnny Hodges wailing on "AllOf Me" and "Sunny Side Of The Street."

Milt Graron, the band's vocalist, whosounds very much like Billy Eckstine, demon-strated his ability to sing in the lower registeron "Day In, Day Out." Grayson closed theregular program with his flag waver. "OneMore Time."

Paul Gonzalves, still trying to re-create the1956 Newport Jazz Festival exposition he builtwith his extra -long solo on "Diminuendo AndCrescendo In Blue," swung heavily through-out the program.

A highlight feature of the program was theNew York "debut" of blues singer LonnieJohnson who offered four tunes: "SeptemberSong," "Tomorrow Night" and "Jelly Roll Beg-gar" plus an intro blues ditty.

Johnson accompanied himself on electric gui-tar and demonstrated a strong, flowing stylefor a man of his years. He was brought out ofretirement for the gig and has been signed toappear at other concert appearances through-out the nation. A smart A&R man might lookinto inking Mr. Johnson to a contract. Theblues shouter is seasoned and ready for wax-ing.

ing their in -person performances" and whenhe takes a band into the recording studio,"they have to be separated for stereo effect,"washing out all he feels he has achieved.

Woody Herman, famed leader of his HermanI lerds, stated his opinion of stereo had chang-ed because of the gimmicky attitude taken bymany companies. "Abuse has changed my ori-ginal opinion of stereo," he said.

Mr. Kapp in making his opening statement,felt that stereo had made no advancements.Ile felt it had "worsened sound because ofthe many open mikes used in a session." Kappalso believes the stereo picture is "confused."

In trying to state that the picture was clear-ing, Enoch Light, who knows just about asmuch as any A&R man in the business aboutstereo, noted that people have to go throughan educational phase with stereo. "Stereo isbeing developed into a medium which presentsmusic as close to an actual performance aspossible. Stereo is still a young development;it's only four years old and we've got a lotmore work to do, but I feel we are at thepoint where it can be used without any gim-micks to present pure musical enjoyment."

The gimmicky effect of stereo was lamblast-ed by Frances Robinson who felt that stereowas only being used to send railroad trains,planes and sports car motors roaring throughthe listeners' living room.

Manny Albam felt that stereo offered hima great opportunity to spotlight sections of theorchestra playing against each other and solo-ing. He cited records on which there wereinstruments he was never able to hear becausethey were in monophonic sound.

Skitch Henderson backed this argument,commenting: "stereo allows for the natural re-presentation of sound; it enhances the record-ing of large orchestral units."

Bill Miltenburg emphasized that listening tomono sound was like "taking a shower withone spray hole open." Stereo can do wonderfulthings, he believes; it allows the A&R man tomove instruments and bring soloists out infront of the band. "Stereo puts air around thesound, giving it a realistic dimension."

On a comical note, William B. Williams,WNEW personality moderating the debate,asked what would happen it die companiespindliehig athe "junk pop nne, st.oteil to re-lease sieo.o albums 01 111, le.nonig, bleat -log teenage stars." Everyone 1.,,1I'hed but notem, Plod the answer, Which scrim d to slim upthe Mono sIttuttlon1 the In(itsity Is still cop-ing, with standards for the eleetrotile and mu-sical melding of a stereo album.

GLG Productions IntoDisc, Radio -TV Operation

Steve Lawrence-Eydie Gorme, the Highway-men and Don Costa have all been signed toproduce records through GLG' Productions, aspart of the firm's expansion move into the indiefield.

Headed by Ken Greenglass, the firm is alsoplanning a strong entry into TV and radioproduction. GLG Productions will produce sin-gles and LPs by Lawrence-Gorme for Colum-bia; the Highwaymen for United Artists andDon Costa for Colpix.

"While we are currently undergoing a rapidexpansion," Greenglass said, "we are doing sowith careful planning in all areas. We intendto continue being as selective as possible inthe talent we handle, as well as in the TV andradio packages we will present."

Twist Roars(continued frompageTwist"), Dot's Billy Vaughn ("Everybody'sTwisting Down in Mexico") and RCA Victor'sElvis Presley ("Rock -a -Hula Baby").

United Artists claims to have the first filmfeaturing The Twist, "Teenage Millionaire,"just released, with Chubby Checker, but a rec-ord for fast production and release probablywill be set by two in -the -works filmusicals. Co-lumbia's "Twist Around The Clock," withChubby Checker, Dion, Clay Cole, The Mar-cels and Vickie Spencer, is skedded for open-ings this Christmas; and Paramount's "Hey,Let's Twist," presenting Joey Dee and HisStarliters, Jo -Ann Campbell, Teddy Randazzo,Kay Armen, Zohra Lampert, Dino de Luce andthe Peppermint Loungers, is due around NewYear's. So is Keelou Productions' "Doin' TheTwist," starring Louis Prima and June Wilkin-son. Another, "It's Trad, Dad," should be start-ing in England.

The Twist sensation has turned nitespots inmajor cities into gyrating palaces, night andday. At New York's Roundtable, a past stablefor jazz artists, the dance is being featurednightly and on weekends, spotlighting Hi Rec-ords' Bill Black Combo, also heard on the sin-gle, "Twist -Her," and seen in "Teenage Mil-lionaire."

Black is a Twist titan whose recordings havesold over 10 million copies since he quit theElvis Presley fold to go it with a combo of hisown. From the moment Elvis soared out ofMississippi and shook everybody up until Un-cle Sam turned him into Pvt. Presley, Blackthumped the big bull fiddle in the rock 'n' rolltiller's trio. When Elvis went into the Army,11111 Black's Combo was born -just a few shakesahead of The Twist.
