After Sun Ra, the program returned to more conventional jazz. Phil Woods' European Rhythm Machine seems to be the frame for his alto virtuosity that he has been looking for. Woods by no means carries the group, as several bass, piano, and drum solos demonstrated. Bassist Eddie Young of Young-Holt Unlimited has a good time on stage, too--so did we. The Bill Evans group by itself is a good jazz combo; it becomes great when Jeremy Steig walks on stage to add his lyrical flute. And the guitar of Kenny Burrell was--as it always has been--very...
Alto Saxophonist McLean and his sextet spend much of this album on the wayout side of traditional harmonic borders, yet their energetic improvisation never quite descends to pandemonium. The group's most piercingly effective exchanges between alto, trumpet, trombone and the rhythm sections take place on Conversation Point and Erdu. On a track called Soul, they lay down a blues background for Poetess Barbara Simmons as she recites her tribute to blackness...
Most white Americans will never hear that hip version of the popular Kent jingle, which is sung by a chorus of wailing voices against a background of driving rhythm and blues music. It is beamed only over black radio stations to black audiences. P.

...about 300 radio stations that spin soul music for predominantly black audiences. This market has created a need for specialists. Detroit's Carl Porter, a 28-year-old Wayne State graduate, has built up his Theme Productions by producing and selling radio commercials as we as distinctive, hard-rhythm station breaks. "We squeeze 50 tons of soul into six seconds," he says. Porter creates radio spots for Mustang Malt Liquor, Lanolin Plus Liquid, Mystery of Black Cosmetics and other products, and his billings are running at a rate of $450,000 this year. He argues that only a black...
...Good Score. The script-which Peckinpah wrote with Walon Green -has the sound and rhythm of a rambling campfire yarn. Pike Bishop (William Holden) is the aging leader of a ragtag bunch of bandits who ride through the Southwest trying to scrape together an honorably illegal living. The money from previous jobs has just about run out, and the bunch is being trailed by a group of murderous bounty hunters. After an unsuccessful stickup in which two of them are killed, the rest light out for Mexico, with the bounty hunters hard on their trail, looking to make what Bishop...
