...Freest Ever. Even before his death, Sade's books were banned in France or published only in expurgated editions. But already he was a literary legend. His defiance of convention and law appealed to the romantics, and in 1843 famed Critic Sainte-Beuve wrote that Byron and Sade "are perhaps the two greatest inspirations of our moderns." Poet Charles Baudelaire admitted: "One always comes back to Sade, that is to say to the natural man, to explain evil." Swinburne declared the day would come "when statues will be erected to him in every city." French Poet Guillaume Apollinaire called...
...clarinetists have managed to make their instruments speak in a style that falls somewhere between the solid fundamentals of swing and the freest flights of progressive jazz. Their methods are similar: play a basic melody in the old style and elaborate it with floods of notes in rhythmically diverse patterns. Explains Manhattan's Tony Scott: "I want the simple cry of jazz that a gospel singer might put in five notes−only I may use 15." The effect is a bit like vanilla frosting on a beef pie−interesting, but not wholly palatable...
...patriotic duty to testify about past associates, as well as an obligation to his profession to testify about himself. Meeting these conditions is of prime importance.

...called Year I, may hope to hold onto its skilled personnel in larger numbers, it faces a single, simple, unchanging attitude toward re-enlistment in its enlisted ranks-freedom v. institutionalism. Civil life or the same old saluting crud for another four years. We are the freest enlisted men in the world-and even among U.S. services. But . . . not quite free enough. You can re-enlist some of the enlisted men some of the time, but not all of them forever. At least not until Year XXX-1984, that...
...Beiderbecke Story (Columbia, 6 sides LP). Third of a series of historical anthologies, this set takes 36 recordings out of the collector's-item class, fixes Cornetist Beiderbecke's halo more firmly in place. Vol. I (Bix and His Gang) finds him at his freest, contains his definitive version of Jazz Me Blues; Vol. II (Bix and Tram) contains his most famous solos (Singin' the Blues, I'm Cornin' Virginia) and happy teamwork with Saxophonist Frank Trumbauer; Vol. Ill (Whiteman Days) has appealing solos by Bix and Bing Crosby, buried in a large dose...
