Hail Barnet Band As Bop Successor

NEW YORK, Apr. 2—Popular music circles are hailing the new pand of Charlie Barnet as the logical successor to the top position in modern jazz vacated by Stan Kenton when the latter quit /the band business recently. ° While. flattered at the designaBarnet pointed out that there is a certain fundamental difference between himself and Kenton regarding “progressive ” or bebop, as some people defer to it. “1 ‘honestly believe that Kenton placed too many walls around

his particular music and where There's a certain amount of good

it could be heard,” Barnet explained. ii “We hope to alternate fiexibly between concert and dance music, thereby creating a less re-

strictéd and stereotyped musical)

product.”

Barnet, of course, is no newtomer to the orchestra field. He has had several good bands since 3933 and has broken them up from time to time for various ‘peasons. His current musical library contains a liberal quantity of bop, including original compositions of the “progressive” school, but it also features all of the dance rhythms any crowd could ask. A featured member of the outfit ‘is talented Bufiny Briggs, a ‘pint-sized Negro vocalist who is a firstrate entertainer. Barnet has been signed by Capftol Records to replace its loss of ‘Kenton.

But actually what Woody referred to then as “be-bop” and the so-called bop music of today are 3 two far removed items. Then it was a form of lyrics, to jazz up questionable tunes like “Who Put the Benzadrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?” : That's the tune that aroused all the “degeneracy” uproar and got bop | bopped off the air. Today what some people like to call bop 1s mostly instrumental, with a few lyrics thrown in now and then on the more commercial pieces. » . “BOP,” as Woody sums it up, “is just a bad title that's been hung on a new type of jazs, somethat can be exploited like ‘scat’ and ‘swing’ once were. They run in cycles over the years.” Actually, the progressive jazz is little more than the result of greater ability ‘and technical skill} among younger musicians, Woody feels. “Kvery year the kids are getting better and they're doing better and different things.” : Woody dodges any comparative evaluation of his present group { and his old Herd which pfoduced a | some of the finest records of contemporary jazz. } “You can't eompare them—they were entirely different types,” he says:
