Jam Session Tonight Stars Russell, Davison

The Winthrop Junior Common Room will be the scene of the second big-time jam session held at Harvard in the last four months when Pee Wee Russell, famous hot clarinetist, Bill Davison, outstanding cornetist, and some other members of Davison's band which is now playing in Boston, come out to play from 8 to 9 o'clock tonight in a program which has been arranged and will be broadcast by the Crimson Network.

While the jam session will take up the first half of the program, a swing contest, to determine Harvard's leading swingster, will occupy the second half. The Network held a similar program last May in which Count Basie and his blues singer, Jimmy Rushing, were featured. At this time two tenor sax men, Joe Dunn and Gene Burgstaller, were crowned University swing champs, but both of them have left school.

Freshman Clarinetist Highly Touted

Some other musicians, who participated in the May contest, will be swinging away tonight, however. Among them are Bud Wentworth '44, on the trombone, Ed Hunt '42, on the trumpet and guitar, George Springer '42, playing the trumpet and Stu Grover '45, backing up on the drums.

A newcomer, Joe Pamelia '46, is rated highly on the clarinet and tenor sax and another new addition to the amateur players is Steve Taylor, a summer School student from Cornell who plays the trombone.
