...happens, Kenya's northeast has long been a favorite squatting ground for nomadic Somali tribesmen, who herd their camels and goats back and forth across the Horn of Africa without heed to national borders. Fiercely independent, the illiterate Moslem tribesmen fight savagely among themselves for grazing land, for this is the possession they hold most dear. A proud people, tall, lithe' and fine-featured, the Somalis are Hamitic in origin, descended in part from 7th century Arabs who crossed into Africa from Yemen. Forever vain about their heritage, they are also accustomed to having their...
...appear, each bearing-according to Menotti-a strong allegorical identity. An old man in a wheelchair, who represents The Past, lures the groom into a cobwebby conservatory filled with jungle plants to play a possibly symbolic game of chess. Another door leads him into a drab office where a horn-rimmed boss-lady screams into a jangle of telephones and thrusts envelopes to a flunky with: "Wrap it, lick it, and mail it!" She represents The Present, and is far too busy to help. An astronaut, who is The Future, offers a cup of tea but little sympathy: "Your...

...first really exciting thing to happen to the tenor saxophone since Sonny Rollins came out of retirement a couple of years ago. Felder, at the age of 21, has already developed a unique style, as tough as David Newman's but in a different way. Felder's horn has an extremely clean, virile, somewhat angry sound; its emotional quality is strong and sincere. Occasionally, he uses a little vibrato (almost heretical in modern jazz); the contrast with his precise phrasing is quite effective. The other Crusaders are Wayne Henderson, trombone, Joe Sample, piano, and "Sticks" Hooper, drums. On records, they...
...earn more than 80% of their costs, but the Cleveland, which spends $500,000 a year less, earns only 47%. All look very much the same, though the Cleveland's violas sit where the New York has its cellos, and Szell uses one more trombone and one less horn than Erich Leinsdorf does in Boston. The Boston has the greatest number of foreign-born musicians with 33, the Philadelphia the fewest with 15. Other distinctions...
