...film like this becomes a masterpiece if it succeeds at all: what is remarkable is that the myth does work. Largely, Camus has accomplished his end through surrealism and through appeal to a whole secondary set of myths: the archetypal image the audience holds of the rhythmic and sexual Negro. Only in Kio, and only with black stars could this incredible tale become real. But in this strange, lovely land, Orpheus does live again...
...mentor, a sometime actor named Charles Compton Street. Charles introduces him to the fine art of living without working-cadging food and drink, stealing an occasional rare book, sleeping on suburban trains or on somebody's floor. Charles also introduces him to a series of Soho oddballs whose rhythmic appearance and disappearance constitute what there is of a story line.

None of Nocturnal was taped, but its sounds-chittering strings, night-wailing flutes-were far out enough to fire...
...Cool: the Gil Evans Orchestra (Impulse). The finest arranger in jazz puts some of his melodic and rhythmic tricks on display in five selections, including his own long (15-min.) La Nevada, and his arrangement of John Brooks's haunting Where Flamingos Fly. The moods vary, but the effect is always an intricate crosscurrent of sound stirring to restlessly shifting rhythms...
