PETER NERO PLAYS A SALUTE TO HERB ALPERT & THE TIJUANA BRASS (RCA Victor). Though few arrangers admit it, much of what comes out of the recording studios these days is inspired by Herb Alpert's Latin-flavored brass sound. Giving credits where credit is due, Nero here presents sparkling and masterful piano solos that nicely complement the sophisticated slurrings of the horns in A Taste of Honey, What Now My Love and Tijuana Taxi. His technique is at its best as he evokes the swirl of a jazz dance in the theme from Zorba the Greek, or lays...

It is the reaction of a part or all of the body to injury. In its later stages it includes the processes needed to repair the injury...
...jets. At cruising altitude, one of the three jet engines can be throttled back to idling position and virtually closed down without contributing extra drag, thus saving fuel. For all of these reasons, U.S. airline executives believe that the little jet is designed for short-haul work in Africa, Latin America and the Far East, a market that should be good for plenty of YAKs...
