...school supervisors, including principals and district superintendents, aided the strike by ordering schools closed for the children's "safety." Fully 53,000 of New York's 57,000 teachers stayed away from classes. Ironically, the only schools operating normally were those of Ocean Hill-Brownsville, where Rhody McCoy, the district's cool Negro administrator, had recruited an eager group of new young teachers. Most were white...
Technically, the community committee had a weak case. Rhody McCoy, the Ocean Hill-Brownsville administrator, finally filed charges against ten of the teachers. He cited the "excessive lateness" of one, the failure of four others to maintain class discipline, unspecified opposition to the decentralization experiment by others.

Featuring the flexible tenor inventions of Joe Henderson and the thoughtful suspensions of Pianist McCoy Tyner, the quintet favors an ambiance of melodic continuity set to disciplined rhythmics. The finest chapter of their musical book is in Verse, a rubato theme that moves into a flowing waltz tempo. Edging into the avant-garde on 8-4 Beat and Black Circle, the instrumentalists whirl gracefully around some unexpected chords. On the quiet ballad Summer Nights, vibes and piano trace shimmering...
