...more than $40,000 a year and lives only a 15-minute drive from his office. But while his wife Maxine, 35, and their two daughters relish Jackson's slow pace, Dilday restlessly misses the Celtics and Boston's other professional teams and live performances by top jazz groups. Says he: "When I got here, I couldn't understand why, when something needed to be done, it wasn't done today. There is not the competition here that there is in the big city." He complains also that the conservative white caste system that dominates...
...South is to the music of America what late 18th century Vienna was to the classical-music era of Europe-the source. In fact, anyone who ponders the long Southern legacy-from jazz to blues, from gospel to bluegrass, and, more lately, truckers' songs-might just begin imagining that the Mississippi has been flowing North all this time. Southern music rose from the common man, but there is nothing common about its variety or the range of lives it touches and consoles.

...reason we're gonna win is because we love music," boomed Candidate Bella Abzug, displaying her usual optimism if not faultless logic. Seeking to jazz up her campaign for the Democratic Senate nomination, Bella stopped in at Eddie Condon's in Manhattan for a jam session with the house band, Red Balaban & Cats.

A month later, the couple is chosen and introduced to the students at commencement as "Gail and Tom." Scene fades as the commencement "speaker," a black jazz musician (obviously either sloshed or stoned) gets up to play a bass solo. Close-up of Gail: a look of amazement. "What have we done?" she asks herself...
...Jarreau: Glow (Reprise). Jarreau is primarily a jazz singer with a scatman's vast repertory of swoops, glides and vocal glissandi. In concerts he adds his own million-dollar magic trick: he carries a band in his larynx - or so it seems when Jarreau fills in the melody with vocal imitations of instruments. He can even accompany himself, crooning the words of a sleepy ballad while making rhythmic clicks deep in his throat to provide a percussive counterpoint. Jarreau's vocal antics on this LP are confined to a guitar (Fire and Rain), flute (Glow) and bass (Hold...
