...Zones , now in its world premiere at the Charles Playhouse, is a series of fairy-tale plot fragments saturated in Faust-derived moralizing. The combination is heavy, uneven and often downright tedious, but director Louis Criss breathes some life into the subject matter through experiments, somewhat erratic, in fusion of stage and film action. Though all focus disappears in Zones 1 and 3, largely due to an undisciplined spate of plot elaborations, Criss and his acting troupe salvage Zone 2, "The Occupied Zone," thus granting their audience a few moments of genuine excitement in an otherwise disappointing evening...
...wood house-front which constitutes the set, the cameras switch on and show their pursuit continued over rocks and in wooded areas, all this in frenetic, black-and-white photography which evokes the 1920's.

Flailing away in the midst of a dozen percussion instruments, three players pound out different sets of rhythms until the beats converge into an orgy of machine-like energy. What makes Santana unique is the fusion of rhythms: African, Cuban, Mexican, blues, as well as subtle Latin ingredients whose exotic sound has rarely been heard in rock...

...Count Basic and Duke Ellington, along with such comparative juniors as Buddy Rich and Don Ellis, have developed large and eager audiences for their gigs and records. None of them, though, have demonstrated Woody's resiliency or adaptability. The style of his current group is a near-symphonic fusion of rock and the toe-tapping, old-gold sound that was the trademark of his earlier bands. Mixing updated versions of old Herman specialities with ear-blowing arrangements of such contemporary tunes as the Doors' Light My Fire and Jim Webb's Mac Arthur Park, the latest Herd...
