RADIO CONFERENCE
MUSICAL PROGRAMMES. JAZZ BAND'STANDARD. (Per Press Association). Wellington, Sept. 30. The Musical Coordinator addressed the radio conference to-day on the subject of musical programmes. ’ Ho said that in the past a false amateur standard had been created. It was the company’s aim to secure the very best talent in New Zealand and the company was determined to employ only the best professional tai for the present. This did not mean that amateurs were to be turned down altogether; they would be encouraged when they reached the standard of the concert platform. Until then they should not be allowed to experiment nt the expense of the public. With regard to jazz Mr Bellingham said he had yet to hear a jazz hand in New Zealand which came up to what he considered the requisite standard and jazz music would be presented in its least harmful form per the gramophone. The conference decided to support Mr Bellingham especially in regard to jazz.
