...worn away until only a stub remains. Though there is an abortive erotic interlude with a woman (Gunnel Lindblom), for the most part Oscarsson is left alone to disintegrate in the worn suit and the bare room that are the boundaries of his life. Within them he creates a solo performance of unbearable power. The shiny eyes dance behind rimless glasses, the arguments with God become a grudge fight, consciousness and the dream state mix until the tragedy plays itself out upon the bare stage of a wrecked mind...
...Dream. Three new songs composed just before his death make most admirable vehicles for the band: locomotive-paced The Intimacy of the Blues, which perfectly brings out its elegant, insinuating sound; Charpoy, a perking bounce; and Blood Count, a sinuous, sensitive ballad, with a Johnny Hodges alto solo, in the same vein as Passion Flower.

The Observer, quickest to capitalize on "Chichysteria," announced a transatlantic sailboat solo race for this summer and attracted 35 oddly assorted entries. The winner of that tough grind was a young Cornish schoolteacher, Geoffrey Williams, who slipped into Newport, R.I., a fortnight ago after 26 days, 20 hours, and 32 minutes en route; others are still at sea. The competing Sunday Times sent four record-seeking Britons floundering by dogsled across mushy...
