JESS STACY'S BAND NAMED FOR JUBILEE

Arrangements for engaging Jess Stacy as the orchestra leader for the Harvard (no longer Freshman) Jubilee, to be held Saturday night, April 27, were concluded at a meeting of the Freshman Committee last night.

The group voted overwhelmingly for Stacy after prolonged consideration of over twenty names submitted by several local, New York, and Chicago agencies. Particularly influencing the choice of Stacy was the fact that for seven straight years he has won the "Downbeat" poll for the outstanding commercial pianist of the country.

Played With Benny Goodman

Also brought out in the discussion before the final vote was Stacy's record with the original Benny Goodman Sextet, which featured such distinguished jazzmen as Harry James, Gene Krupa, and Lionel Hampton. He also worked for five years with Bob Crosby and Tommy Dorsey.
