...appears as a solo pianist. Cecil Taylor occupies the position of enfant terrible of the piano which Monk once held. His music--sometimes only peripherally music--consists largely of totally free improvising. It is an exhilarating and frequently terrifying experience. His best work to date may be found on Candid 8006. The most important contributions to jazz piano since Bud Powell have been made by Bill Evans. His tremendous technical skill enables him to realize any idea his highly sensitive and various imagination can conceive. His five trio albums on Riverside demonstrate his growth, except for the fourth one, which...
...mile, a real estate agent selling outback lots for $1,595 an acre, a wiggly blonde singing in a nightspot about her A-O.K. flight in a rocket with her spaceman.

Husband Benjamin (Walter Matthau) has been frolicking with Josefa himself after banking hours, and Wife Dominique (Louise Troy) has been slipping with her husband...
...Lady Paulina Mary Louise Pepys, second daughter of the sixth Earl of Cottenham and a descendant of 17th century Diarist Samuel Pepys, shook lovers of English literature the world over with her reply. "Sorry," she snorted, "but it's 'Pepp-iss.' " Later, when admirers of her candid ancestor challenged her on the point, the 31-year-old London librarian insisted: "If he did call himself 'Peeps,' he was the first member of the family to do so and none has done it since." Asked for his ruling, Britain's leading Pepys authority, Sir Arthur...
