...music that has done the most to build the five-man European company into the world's most thriving jazz label ranges in style and quality from the vaulting improvisational rhapsodies of Keith Jarrett to the congenial jazz-rock fusion of Pat Metheny and the slick sketches of Chick Corea. Jarrett, Metheny and Corea account for most of the label's top ten albums. Jarrett's ravishingly beautiful The Köln Concert, released in 1975, has sold more than 750,000 copies-a strong showing for a double album in any league, even rock...
DIED. Russell Procope, 72, dapper, goateed jazz clarinetist and saxophonist who was a fixture in the Duke Ellington Orchestra; in New York City.

You smooth your feathers nicely. You don't try to take over the barnyard. When Carolyne Mas says, "I'm not a chick singer," she is not so much handing down a manifesto as setting up an aesthetic credo. Mas has no special interest in forcing some shotgun wedding of feminist politics and rock; neither do the others. They sing songs of personal reflection, not propaganda...
