...would have to name nearly every individual performer. It was an evening of soloists, especially in the much reduced ensembles of the Stravinsky and Milhaud. Violinist Tison Street and flutist Geoffrey Greenfield were outstanding in the Stranvinsky. The jazz-like Creation featured sensitive solos from 'cellist Philip Moss and saxophonist Hardin Matthews, as well as some sultry low-register flutter-tonguing by the two flutists. Oboists George Donner's Gershwin-like plaints creation actually predates Rhapsody in Blue and American in Paris and high-register melody lines were models of sensitivity, control and stamina, Strangely, it was clarinetist Gary Gelber...
...some solidity in her life. She had always sworn better dead than wed ("My life is on that stage; I am an actress; I can't do both"). But in June 1965, after three weeks' courtship, she married one of the pathfinding composers of modern jazz, Baritone Saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, now 40.

The results are cooler and more cerebral than those of Eric Dolphy, the late wild-blowing, note-bending alto saxophonist. But Bill Smith (on clarinet) and the other instrumentalists are first-rate, and the music, though it seldom swings, consistently sizzles...
...FLAT, G FLAT AND C (Impulse). The featured player is Yusef Lateef, who used to be plain William Evans, tenor saxophonist with Dizzy Gillespie. In the '50s, Evans changed his name, his faith (from Christian to Mohammedan), and the nature of his jazz, turning to such Middle Eastern instruments as the rebab and the arghool. Now he's headed farther east with The Chuen Blues, played on a three-stringed Chinese lute, and Kyoto Blues, on a Taiwan bamboo flute...
