He was also belting his drives with fresh gusto, and he was using a new putter. On the first day, he limbered up with a so-so 72. Next day he cut his score to a five-under 66, and in the third round he was the old Arnold Palmer.

ORGAN GRINDER SWING (Verve), except for the title piece, has little of the excitement of Monster and is for fanciers of the Hammond organ only. Jimmy Smith's trio (Kenny Burrell on guitar, Grady Tate on drums) plays nine minutes of so-so blues, a bright and shiny Satin Doll, and a wheezing travesty of Greensleeves...
