...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 with abrasive scurryings, and finally the pain of death with wrenching, atonal probings...

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.

"Opera: Two to Six" starts with a Tosca duet by Joan Sutherland and Tito Gobbi, grows into the trio from Faust, the Verdi quartet from Rigolctlo, a Wagner quintet from Die Meistersinger, and finally the sextet from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammcrmoor, in which the two are joined by Nicolai Gedda, Jerome Mines, Mildred Miller and Charles Anthony...

...opera at a time when Wagner and Verdi had conclusively proved that the promise of great opera lay elsewhere. Blind to their examples, Bizet wrote six or seven good numbers which have since become standards and filled out the rest of Carmen with tedium and theft. The Second Act quintet is bad imitation Mozart, the Third Act trio bad imitation Rossini, and Micaela's Air good imitation Meverbeer, which is just as bad. Carmen proves Bizet to be the Milton Berle of music...
