Paced in musically broken stanza-sentences, the ode's complicated theme, about which many subsidiary thoughts and counter-thoughts are skillfully woven, develops with unique rhythmic clarity. Brown creates telling poetic figures, uses them interestingly, and achieves by so doing the communication of a soul-stirring idea in its emotional and intellectual entirety...
When Kamiya had seen with his own eyes the rhythmic throb of Physarum, a question leaped into his mind: "What is the horsepower, what is the amount of force involved?" To find out, he devised a new experiment. To perform it, he takes a little piece of the mold, works it into a sort of dumbbell shape-two blobs connected by a thin strand. He puts this into an air chamber divided into two compartments by a block of agar (marked C in the diagram). The two blobs, a and b, are in separate chambers but are connected...
...pressure in B is kept constant; in A, it can be raised or lowered at will. When the pressure is the same in both compartments, rhythmic streaming occurs normally through the strand. But by raising the air pressure in A, Kamiya can slow down and stop the flow of material from b to a. When the flow has stopped, he has balanced air pressure against the protoplasmic force. Thus, by noting the amount of the increased pressure, he measures the protoplasmic force...
...brass worse, and when the soloists just didn't feel like playing. Yet even in these moments of inconsistency, they have managed to turn out a brand of music that's hard to beat in any league. And the reason for this is the Base drive, that elusive rhythmic quality that makes the orchestra at once aggressive and relaxed. They have been accused of playing noises, but this isn't true. There's a clear-cut distinction between a band that screams because it's expected to and a band that drives because that's the way the boys feel...
...swell trombone ride with a tom-tom backing... Johnny Hodges steals the show on Duke Ellington's Warm Valley (VICTOR), a slow, dreamy tune, arrangement of which is remarkably unpretentious. Reverse, The Flaming Sword, says "fox-trot" on the label, but just try dancing to it, and the elaborate rhythmic patterns will have you giving out on the old one-two-three-kick... Lionel Hampton's latest offering features an unusual combination: rhythm section with two guitars, Spanish (Douglas Daniels) and electric (Teddy Bunn). Coupling is Pigfoot Sonata and Just for Laffs and both guitars take all the honors (VICTOR...
