ANDREW HILL ANDREW!!! (Blue Note). Pianist Hill has his own very definite views of modern jazz piano. His music is filled with gently dissonant surgings, expressive rippling lines that are as romantic as they are atonal, and intuitive, crosshatched rhythms that emerge and then break off. Helping him project this engaging moodiness are John Gilmore's thin-edged tenor sax, Bobby Hutcherson's delicate vibes, the attentive probings of Bassist Richard Davis and the irregular cymbals of Drummer Joe Chambers. The group's finest moments come in The Groits, which, despite its ugly name, consists of lovely...

INTRODUCING DUKE PEARSON'S BIG BAND (Blue Note). Pianist-Arranger Pearson, whose previous records featured smaller groups, has gathered 15 solid players in order to amplify his musical ideas. Straight Up and Down is a tidy blend of high-flying exuberance and smooth delivery (note the trumpet's sassy quote of Sweet Georgia Brown and the baritone sax's sly paraphrase of Once I Had a Secret Love). While Mississippi Dip is a blues to be taken lithely, A Taste of Honey switches tempos faster than the foot can follow, building to heated ensemble crescendos behind Frank...

...Little Note. Some other officials take a less rigid stand. Averell Harriman and Cyrus Vance, the U.S. negotiators in Paris, think that the time may be at hand to try a bombing pause. Humphrey too, in private Administration deliberations, has been arguing for a pause. He is inclined to take the lull at face value, to accept it as a pacific gesture of sufficient weight to justify a bombing suspension. In public, of course, he cannot break with the Johnson Administration. Yet Humphrey clearly is continuing to edge toward a more conciliatory position, in the process attempting to come...

...Sour Note. Unlike 1960, when he believes that he spread himself far too thin, the candidate this year will be highly selective with his time and energy, concentrating on television and personal appearances in about 20 key states. Nearly $12 million of a $30 million budget will go to TV, which Nixon now thinks that he has mastered. The TV campaign will begin this week, with reruns of Nixon's Miami Beach ac ceptance speech-in his opinion the finest he has ever made-on both the CBS and NBC television networks. Cost...
