...barge, and the gold lame could have papered the Met walls. On the whole, the fashion was strictly haute, although here and there a kooky costume or two dazed the 3,000 or so beholders who checked over the operagoers as they arrived. The wife of Met Tenor Jess Thomas, for example, was decked out in a black dress that was drenched in 15 Ibs. of floorlength gold chains (while a flack followed breathlessly, tossing out mimeographed press releases...
HERBIE HANCOCK, MAIDEN VOYAGE (Blue Note). Hancock is-an inventive young (26) modernist best known for his work with Miles Davis. Here he sets out to fathom the mysteries of the sea. His crew of Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams, drums, Freddie Hubbard, trumpet, and George Coleman, tenor sax, pull together perfectly to express a variety of moods-from the quiet swirling sound of Little One to the growling agitation of Eye of the Hurricane.

While here and in the Sarti one might have hoped for a slightly less room-fulling sound from the organ, the ecclesiastical air of the music was quite effective. Soloists for the In Ecclesiis were Sally Thomas, Soprano; Pamela Gore, alto; Carl Schmidt, tenor; and James Jonse, baritone. The Sarti Fugue, a double fugue of a relatively primitive sort, demonstrated the ability of the singers to make a somewhat intricats, overworked piece into a worthwhile listening experience...
