Musical Swings And Roundabouts
O many New Zealand dance musicians have gone to Australia during the past ten years or so that it bas been observed that it is impossible to throw a rotten tomato at an Australian dance band without hitting a New Zealander. Serious fact is, though, that our dance musicians must get a very thorough groundi:;, for they never have any difficulty finding work in other countries. But what we lose on the musical swing we very nearly make up on the roundabouts, as, up to the outbreak of war, af any rate, we were having frequent visits from overseas players. This in itself, by enabling New Zealand players to gain first-hand experience of the latest style and technique, has had a beneficial effect on the standard of local musicianship. Notable recent visitor -was Manuel Raymond, who came from London to play at the Centennial Exhibition cabaret. Raymond, incidentally, is an outstanding example of a New Zealand musician who has made good overseas.
