SIDE TWO, which features four shorter Jenkins compositions, is entirely acoustic and much more wide-open. The writing here suffers from a certain bland sameness, but, fortunately, the work of the individual musicians that Jenkins chose for this session is of high quality and originality. "Dancing On a A Melody" is self-descriptive: Jenkins bows an abstract written theme while trombonist George Lewis improvises on top. Lewis represents the younger second generation of AACM musicians, and here he manages to coax from his horn a variety of fluid sonorities that it was probably never intended to make...
Guevara, a political moderate who once served as Bolivia's Ambassador to the United Nations, seemed doomed from the moment he was sworn in three months ago. Various plotters began planning at least three separate coups after Bolivia's Congress chose Guevara to serve as interim President until an election next May. Natusch, 46, the commander of the military training school, struck first. Backed by junior officers, he dispatched a force to surround the palace, dissolved Congress and declared himself President...
...could improve its electoral performance. Three black candidates--Saundra Graham. Alvin Thompson and Severlin Singleton--ran for council this year. Only one, incumbent Graham, was elected. The second-choice votes on the ballots cast for all three tended to be for one of the other black candidates. Often voters chose the three blacks and didn't bother to vote past that. How to pick up stronger slate support from black voters is a tricky problem, but one the CCA must address if it wants the few hundred votes that could make the difference between four and five seats...
Like Crane, Leonard Russell, who has run for council seven times (twice successfully) had just enough friends. It isn't his moderate stand on the issues that wins Russell most of his support. Instead, voters chose him because he's friendly, well-kown, and has lots of connections when it comes to finding city jobs for his backers...
...Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, 53, traveled 250,000 miles a year as a star of the U.S. lecture circuit. Her outline of the five phases of death-from angry denial to final acceptance-is routinely taught at school and hospital seminars. Readers of the Ladies' Home Journal chose Kübler-Ross as one of eleven "women of the decade" for the 1970s. Even the movies are beginning to take account of the phenomenon: Bob Fosse's forthcoming film, All That Jazz, features a death-obsessed dancer-director who turns to Kübler-Ross...
