WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1951 THE MICHIGAN I
J-Hop
To Feature Ray McKinley, Freddy Martin
Popular, Danceable Orchestras
To Combine Musical Talents
Variety of Melodic Arrangements Offered;
Noted Specialty Numbers To Be Presented
Sharing the spotlight at J-Hop, the high point on Michigan's
social calendar, will be the orchestras of Ray McKinley and Freddy
Martin.
Four and one half hours of continuous music will be provided by
the bands which will alternately play for half hour intervals each
night of the two-night event, Feb. 9 and 10.
Hailed as leader of the "most versatile band in the land," Mc-
Kinley is famous for his vocals and drums.
OFTEN CALLED "the master of modern music" Freddy Martin,
with his "singing saxaphone," features vocalist Merv Griffin, Mur-
ray Arnold at the piano and the Martin Men.
Both bands are noted for their all-around "danceability"
and versatility which includes a well rounded program of music,
entertainment and humor.
McKinley's aggregation has displayed prowess at its many per-
sonal appearances throughout the country.
BESIDES PLAYING at nearly every major hotel and theatre in
the country, the orchestra boasts a remarkable college prom record.
In the past two years it has appeared at more than 100 colleges, fol-
lowed by many return engagements.
The band last appeared here at the 1949 Panhel Ball.
McKinley's band has been rated as the best all-around dance
band in America by several top national magazines. An out-spoken
advocate of the music-for-the-masses school, McKinley's major cri-
ticism of most dance orchestras is that they all sound alike.
THAT IS WHY he says he features the arranging skills of Eddie
Sauter and Dean Kincaide, called two of the industry's foremost cre-
ative artists. McKinley, himself, has long been referred to as the na-
tion's number one drummer, as well as a singer with a unique style
of complete relaxation.
Surrounding its leader's own individual brilliance, the band
has a smoothly- blended program of songs which feature vocals,
unusual jazz arrangements and excellent dance tempos.
Many of the sidemen pitch in with novelty vocals and solos which,
added to the- rest of the features, make an unusual name band style.
SINCE 1935 Freddie Martin has consistently been one of the five
top best-selling artists in the recording realm. His equally capable
treatment of ballads, rhythm tunes and novelty numbers has earned
him the title of "Flexible Freddy."
Martin's orchestra was chosen by the students of 71 colleges,
through a poll conducted by an inter-collegiate magazine, as the
favorite sweet band of collegians.
The band's greatest fame came from its smooth modern adapta-
tion and arrangement of the Tschaikowsky "Concerto in B Flat Min-
or." Martin's versatility can be seen from his recordings of such hits
as "Bumble Boogie," "Come to the Mardi Gras" and "Lovely Bunch
of Coconuts."
