JUI ni 2451 S. Blttisaa Heads at Deuces NEW YORK The revival of Fifty second Street as the country's foremost jazz center is definitely at hand now that Leonard Feather, international music expert who wrote I the current best seller "In side Bebop," has resumed his Tues day night Jazz sessions at the Three Deuces. Each week at the same time he presents an all star guest band, composed of the leading instrumen talists and vocalists. His attrac tions to date read like a Who's Who of the current music greats. To list a few, George Shearing, Georgia Auld, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Chubby Jackson, Buddy De Franco, Denzil Best, Stan Getz and Chuck Wag ner and of course, Harry Belafonte.

It is interesting to note that the versatile talents of young Feather have established him as the most distinguished gent In popular music. not to mention mm as tne ousiesi. Conducting a nightly record pro gram with guest stars via WMGM, Monday through Sunday, from 7:35 P. M. to 8 P.

he writes for ten national' publications and is presently completing Tin' Pan 'Alley experiences of renowned music pub lisher Jack Robblns. DINAH, RAVENS INAUG BOP AT SAVANNAH CAFE NEW YORK Sunday the Savan nah Cafe In the Village, downtown spot with an all beige revue, in augurated a series of Sunday afternoon bop concerts, emceed by Man hattan Paul, with, the Ravens and Dinah Washington as guesters on the initialer.

Bostic Ideas Sax Symphony CHICArrO Earl Bostic, the popular band maestro and recognized kingpin of the alto sax, is contemplating something new un der the musical sun a sixteen piece saxophone symphony orches tra for appearances In concert halls.

Bostic's Idea calls for twelve saxophones (alto, baritone and tenor) to be supplemented by a piano, guitar, bass fiddle and drums for Liny mm. It is the feeling of the ace mu l. sician, who is appearing at tne Regal Theatre, here, that there has been no idea yet to fully exploit the Immense range land potential of the saxophone. This band would amend that oversight. Several top fllghr sexists have been sounded but by Bostic and have shown an Interest in cooperat ing with the novel experiment.

If the idea blossoms into reality, there will be a concert at New Yort Town Hall in mid November to un veil the band. tiHo no uesxT. ry seael leeey ercsr a Dept. 5 CI CstzU, I I 1 I IS 1 I I I By BILLY ROWE (Theatrical Editor) WASHINGTON, D. The Confederate Flag really should be attached to the mast of the Translux Theatre here.

Seemingly the management of the house isn't aware that the struggle for human freedom is over. Worse yet, the fact that the North won the bloodv victory must have been lost in the waves of prejudice which has since swept the country. That editorial introduction to an old story is caused by the emotion which is part of this department's thinking upon learning that here in the nation's capital, the cradle of democracy, Negroes are barred from this theatre of screen entertainment. More flagrant at this time, the discrimination strikes a hard blow with the showing of "Home of the Brave" on the screen of the Trans lux. An out spoken war film, with discrimination and prejudice a la American as its theme, the produc tion lashes out at just a practice as is going on at the Trans' box office.

Despite the un American "Brave" has been booked for an Indefinite Organizations fighting for democ racy in the nation's capital flave thrown a picket line around the house. I Its members are passing out handbills demanding the man agement to practice what is being preached on its screen and are flooding' the local papers with "Let ters to the Editor." TOM ARCHIA AND a ft: Ha 1.1 iiuro i i If Andy Tibbs, Tom Archia Prep for Tour of Dixie Ml CINCINNATI Fresh from a series of triumphs in the Midwest, Andrew Tibbs, blues singer par excellence, and Tom Archia. the star tenor sax artist, and his band, are setting a tour of the South under the Charles Lee banner. Tibbs is noted for his soulful renditions of the blues, his latest Aristocrat records Including "I'm In a Traveling Mood." Tibbs la a clean cut young man who knows how to sell a. song and keep bis audience asking for more.

Tom Archia looms as one of the hottest attractions now on the road. His big tenor sax tone is in an ex citing yeln. His waxinga of Ice Dinah Stays With Mercury DETROIT Singing stair Dinah Washington, currently engaged in a two week stand at the Flame Show Bar here, became the center of an unprecedented battle royal among recording company 'reps eager to sign her to contracts. Cause' for the tug of war was the' Imminent expiration of Miss Washington's current pact with the Mercury organization. Flattered, as wen as flustered, by the suddenv whirl of activity, the singer nevertheless made tt clear that at present it Is her Intention to continue her association with Mercury.

Happy with her relationship and association with John Hammond and Company, Dinah will continue to implant her vocal sorcery on the Mercury label. Frame shown: No. 505 In Solid Black, Tortoise and light Tortoise clear or son. lenses. Beg.

The greatest surprise that has ever hit this Jim crow city, it has been termed a miracle in Holly wood. In the past, Binford has nixed films with i Lena Home, Rochester and other Negroes in an equal role with whites. The old man has even refused to allow "Our Gang" comedy shorts to be shown because Negro kids were screened playing with whites.

BARRED IN AFRICA Because of its racial theme, "Brave" has been barred from showing in South Africa. A highly touchy country on racial questions. its government has been most care ful about pictures of I anti Negro discrimination nature. As it stands the fljm will not 1 be shown anywhere In that country, ANDREW TIBBS lined up for tour of the South Man Blues. "Slumber" i and "Jam for Sam," on the Aristocrat label, are juke box fodder.

Now that this package is heading for Dixie, box office marks are expected to topple. Charles Lee Agency, 612 W. Ninth Street, Cincinnati, has set up dates in Georgia, Louisiana, Texas and other Southern The Andrew TIbbs Tom Archia package has received good notices wherever it has appeared, with dates in Chicago being especially hot.
