Scrambled Brains. Sent East to Smith College ('34) to follow in her mother's footsteps, she is remembered by her classmates for her gigantic appetite for jelly doughnuts, her high good spirits, and her practical jokes (painting the John seats in Hubbard House red and dangling tom-toms in the wind outside a faculty member's window).

His crew of Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams, drums, Freddie Hubbard, trumpet, and George Coleman, tenor sax, pull together perfectly to express a variety of moods-from the quiet swirling sound of Little One to the growling agitation of Eye of the Hurricane. Survival of the Fittest features a Hancock solo that pits one hand against the other in a sort of riptide effect...
