...Elliott Doubles in Brass (Vanguard LP). Versatile Jazzman Elliott plays trumpet (sometimes choked with sorrow, sometimes sighing in contentment), the mellophone (an extravert relative of the French horn) and the chilly chimes of the vibraphone. Co-starring on this "Showcase" album: Pianist Ellis Larkins, who has a sophisticated beat all his own and a sweet, gentle way of dandling a tune...

In both looks and engineering, they represent a thorough redesign of previous Lincolns. They also represent the beginning of an ambitious campaign. Starting with these two models. Lincoln hopes gradually to edge General Motors' Cadillac from its position as the aristocrat of U.S. cars...
