...handsome Holstein cows moseying down the main street of Antietam Furnace might have seemed properly bucolic to a casual visitor. But not to the natives of the little (pop. 51) Maryland village. Stottlemyer was careful to obey the state law-one farm hand walked in front of the herd and one behind-but the villagers complained that the cows obstructed traffic, trampled flower beds, and left a trail of manure that was not only tracked into houses but sometimes caused children to slip and fall perilously close to passing cars.

The aggregation speaks in a shout (as a good band should), and the rhythm section that propels it-Bassist Chuck Andrus, Drummer Jake Hanna and Pianist Nat Pierce-has enough drive and distinction to make three-quarters of an excellent quartet. All 15 players are occasional soloists, and Woody, at 50, yields to their youth. "I just duck and get out of the way," he says. > Lionel Hampton, 50, has always been...
