...During 21 years of scrabbling for a living in the rough, picturesque Black Hills of South Dakota, Negro Rancher Roland Kercheval and his wife Beatrice have "never met" Jim Crow. Kercheval, in fact, is considered to be of pioneer stock-his grandmother was General George Custer's cook at Fort Dodge, Kans.; his father came to the Black Hills in the gold rush of '76. His three children have won innumerable ribbons in the Pilger Valley Gophers 4-H club, and the two oldest are noted locally for their musical talent. This year, nevertheless, his wife began urging...

...early crowd gave way to the late one, the little band began to perk up. Vibraphonist Joe Roland bent over his instrument like a chef over a hot stove. Guitarist Tal Farlow, who had gazed vaguely into space as he played, began to take an interest in the way his fingers rambled up & down the fingerboard. Clarinetist Shaw began to interpolate light-hearted musical comments on his own flights-the raised eyebrow of a grace note, the shrugging arpeggio, the delayed take, the impudent echo. His glum face relaxed into smiles, and the crowd began to hear the new Artie...
