Here is information I think will be of interest to your readers:
 
The new edition of “The Great Escape” newsletter is up and ready for viewing at Ted Butterman’s website:
 
http://www.dixieswing.com/vol11.pdf
 
            This time we hear from Maynard Ferguson band member Dennis DiBlasio with an article on his time with the MF band. Tommy Dorsey vocalist Walt Andrus checks in with “That Big Band Singer’s Column”, jazz historian Bill Spilka contributes with a never-before-in-print Benny Goodman story and “The One (or Three) and Only”, and Browser’s president Phil Holdman describes his “Battle of the Bands: Les Elgart vs. Carl Schreiber.”  All this and lots, lots more. 
 
            I hope you enjoy it and I’d love your comments for publication in the next edition. Also, I’m always looking for personal big band and jazz anecdotes to share with our readers. Send to bobknack at hotmail.com . Subject line should refer to “Great Escape”.
 
            To enjoy future issues, why not subscribe? It’s free, too. Log on to Ted’s website below and follow the instructions.
 
            All ten back issues are still available free at www.dixieswing.com
