Born in Texas, "Jackson" is familiar with the music that formed the foundation for modern "blues," and in the lonely wails and chants of Negro workers of the South he finds the beginnings of the real folk music of America. This he translates into the swing, melodious, dance music for which he is famous.
"Distinguished Service," Prof. Allen Crafton's newest play, using an all-girl cast, now is in its last week of rehearsal.
A staunch supporter of the music, Mr. "T" was the first r them popular with the public as well as with musicians, and it has been on the basis of his blue music that he has become one of the most popular band leaders of the country.
