[78-L] Music in the Martin Manner

[Taylor Bowie]

David,  if you dump all of Martin into the garbage,  you will miss some 
great jazz work from George Van Eps,  Manny Weinstock,  Terry Shand and Jack 
Fina...plus Berigan is on a few early ones as well.

The records issued on ARC as The Van Eps Dance Orchestra are some of the 
best dance band sides ever made...super jazz on "Neighbors" and also 
"Shadows of Love."  Don't know who the clarinet is,  but he's fantastic. 
This is clearly a contingent from or perhaps is the entire Martin orchestra.

Taylor
