AGE

Teen agers, jazz and Dali

By Betty Betz

Twenty years ago the kids of our vintage discovered "hot music" and one of the great jazz leaders was a trumpeter called Bix Beiderbecko, who' laid a lot of groundwork for our pep music today.

Several years ago Dorothy Baker was inspired to write "Young Man With a Horn," the story of Bix, calling him Rick Martin.

The adopted movie of the same, name is about an unfortunate kid from a broken home, who might have got mixed up

thi With wrong crowd if he hadn't landed a job with a bond. As a resull of this significant nim starring Kirk Douglas

Rick Martin and Harry James in the back ground making with the trumpet record shops are already swamp- ed with requests from kids for "that jazz stuff," "proving that kids do like something new, even If it's a revival of something old

Stan Kenton, one of the ploneers of modern jazz, is back in circulation again and his story might be paralleled with that of Bix Beiderbecke. Stan has inans loyal fans among teen-agers whe find his experiments in sound dif- ferent, and certainly imaginative Only drawback is that they find it difficult to dance to Stan's ar- rangements. But let's give him credit for attempting a new styl of music which might be the basis whole new trend in the future. For all we know ht might be another Bix type of of musician whose influence on mu- dern music will go down in his fory.
