...worthy to stoop down and untie," Taylor makes the allusion more straightforward: "I am not even worthy to be his slave." In the Book of Daniel, when Nebuchadnezzar makes a gold image and orders people to worship it when they hear the sounds of "horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp," Taylor offers instead a touch of Sousa: "When the band strikes up." Despite such lapses, Taylor's Bible is easy to read and remarkably understandable...
...Berlin Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan conductor; Angel, 3 LPs, $17.98). An exquisitely executed anthology for the Mozartean who has everything-or thinks he does. The selections range from what might be called the camaraderie concertos, the Sinfonia Concertante, K. 297b (featuring oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn) and the Flute and Harp Concerto, K. 299, to the solo works for bassoon (K. 191), flute (K. 313), oboe (K. 314) and clarinet (K. 622). Von Karajan's soloists, drawn from the Berlin Philharmonic, are superb...

One of Montgomery's most endearing qualities is an apparent willingness to permit virtually anyone to jam with the group. Two weeks ago at Jack's, he was joined by Bonnie Raitt on guitar and vocals, an unidentified conga player...
...continues performing phenomenal music for obscure personal reasons. The core of his band consists of Colwell on lead guitar, a second guitarist with a flair for wah-wah, bass player, drummer, and sax and horn players. On Saturday night, these six were joined by the eccentric "Chicago Bob" on harp-vocals and three other men who alternated at guitar and piano. Where Montgomery's act is informal and charismatic, Colwell's music is a tight, highly professional brand of blues virtuosity. Colwell repeatedly ripped off solos which can only be compared to Michael Bloomfield's on an inspired night...
