The musical aggregation has also appeared at many camp shows for service men both in the United States and abroad. The Brown band entertained troops in Korea under combat conditions several years ago. Four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and a five piece rhythm section make up the or- ganization in addition to the dir- ector, Brown. Vocal selections are rendered by song stylist Jo Ann Greer. Principal Arranger Principal arranger for the band since 1942 is Frank Comstock. In addition to arranging, Com- stock often acts as assistant dir- ector, frequently picking the num- bers, ;rehearsing the band and conducting it on everything from recordings to radio and television engagements. Two of the numbers which are most closely identified with the band are "Sentimental Journey" and "I've Got 'My Love To Keep Me Warm."; Album Releases Albums released by the orches- tra in the past include "Over the Rainbow," "Let's Dance" and "Palladium Party." Peggy Zuelch, J-Hop bands chairman, describes the Tommy Alexander band which will share the spotlight with the Brown or- ganization as "one that is -meeting with enthusiastic response from all who have heard it in its first few months of operation." Alexander is a young trombon- ist who formerly played with the Billy May Band. New Organization The new organization looks back to the standards set by the Good- mans and Dorseys of other years. Although it doesn't copy them, it attempts to get the light swing feeling which they achieved on' the up-tempos. The band also attempts arrangements of musical interest on ballads. This aggregation achieves a dif- ferent sound in the sense that it often ises trombones as lead "voices" instead of the customary saxaphones. According to the leading trade magazines of the musical profes- sion, the band is a "group to keep an eye on."
