...MORGAN: DELIGHTFULEE (Blue Note). Trumpeter Morgan's first big hit was The Sidewinder, a snaky, funky groove running straight to bedrock. Now he is back with more constructions on the same foundation. His confident phraseology in the Beatles' hit Yesterday and in Sunrise Sunset from the Broadway hit Fiddler on the Roof is set against brief but velvety arrangements by Oliver Nelson. His finest flights, however, are in his own compositions, Zambia and Nite Flite, while his perking Latin treatment of Ca-Lee-So is spiciest...
JACKIE McLEAN: NEW AND OLD GOSPEL (Blue Note). That hardy musical ghost, gospel, is summoned once again for this session. Its vibrations materialize most happily in a church-spirited composition by Ornette Coleman, who simply plays trumpet on this album. In Altoist McLean's four-part piece Lifeline, though, these vibrations become only the merest echo, as the group slides into the "new gospel" of freedom. Here McLean's quintet (Lamont Johnson on piano; Scott Holt, bass; Billy Higgins, drums) wheels uninhibitedly through the cycle of human experiences, expressing exultation with rollicking riffs, wonder with gentle breathings, anxiety...
BOBBY HUTCHERSON: STICKUP! (Blue Note). West Coast Vibraphonist Hutcherson gets right in the swing with a tasteful crowd of young modernists. 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...
...historical note was unearthed by Henry Muller of Stanford University, one of our many campus stringers-young men and women with whom TIME has a working alliance for news related to colleges. As higher education has become a greater source of news both in the U.S. and abroad, we have placed increasing emphasis on the efforts of student reporters who tell us about campus attitudes and matters of educational interest with a sensitivity and immediacy which an outsider could attain only with great difficulty...
...that characteristically upbeat note, Hubert Horatio Humphrey volunteered last week to serve his nation as chief pathfinder. Eight years ago, he was the first to announce for the Democratic presidential nomination and the first to be eliminated, long before the convention. Now he is the third, and probably last, entry in a far more bitter contest. This time, no one doubts that he has the strength to battle it out to the end next August...
