...première, but as a novelty. It was Piano Concerto No. 1 by Los Angeles' young (32) Benjamin Lees, neatly played by Alexander Jenner and the Konzerthaus audience liked it better than anything else on the program. It sounded well-padded and fluent, comfortably conservative in its rhythmic patterns. It was often reminiscent of Prokofiev, had a satisfying amount of orchestral razzle-dazzle and was, all in all, a pretty piece. The audience indicated that it would not mind hearing more of Benjamin Lees...
Rather close to Austin's style were the Variations on "Greenbushes," for 'cello and piano, by Thomas Beveridge '59. The composer here adopted a suitable traditional modality and over-all simplicity, with just a couple of dashes of rhythmic complexity. In one variation he happily gave the theme to the piano with an effective plucked accompaniment in the 'cello.

But Patty figured to have trouble with Georgia's own Louise Suggs, 32, current president of the L.P.G.A. and a trim perfectionist on the fairways.

...tape recorder, picking up very real sounds that may range from a factory whistle to an organ note to a kissing sound captured right at home. Then, by using electronic machinery that might have baffled his father, he takes the "raw" sounds, breaks them up into components, forms rhythmic patterns with them, amplifies and filters them till they bear no resemblance to their former selves. After such treatment, the kiss, for instance, sounds like three people in high heels kicking out a wicked beat...
Boston Jazz Tunes begin with a theme, setting a chord pattern which underlies the melodic line. Then the soloists take off, basing their improvisations on this pattern while piano, drums and bass create the rhythmic tension...
