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. Survival of the Fittest features a Hancock solo that pits one hand against the other in a sort of riptide effect...
...mercifully beyond reach of electronic peeping-the company and a pool of newsmen will see the father of the bride decked out in the formal regalia, morning coat and striped trousers, that he refused to don for the presidential inauguration in 1965. While the organist plays Paraphrase on a Trumpet Tune by Henry Purcell, the wedding party-mostly young friends and schoolmates of the bride and groom-will shepherd its charge up a 400-ft. marble aisle to a chancel large enough to accommodate a concourse of cardinals. The bride's attendants will wear pink gowns; the groomsmen will...
...technique was further refined when he teamed with Louis Armstrong in 1928 for a memorable series of recordings. Recalls Hines: "I wanted to play like him, and he wanted to play like me, so we both stole a little from each other."

In one swoop, he freed the piano from the ricky-tick niceties of ragtime and set a standard that ever since has influenced jazz pianists, notably Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum and Erroll Garner...
...Trumpet Player Chet Baker, still waiting at Los Angeles Airport at the hour his trio was due to perform in a nightclub near San Francisco, took his horn into a phone booth, piped his third of the music 350 miles north by wire and loudspeaker. A pretty young girl, pleading with a Chicago ticket clerk for a flight to a San Francisco wedding (her own), was surprised to hear the man in line behind her say: "Funny, I've got to get to San Francisco for a divorce-my own." Both got aboard...
...Reliable. Gary played trumpet and football in high school, attended the University of Redlands for two years. Then on to neat-but-ivyless Cal State at Los Angeles, a state-financed, tuition-free college with an enrollment of 20,000 students, the bulk of whom are Los Angeles commuters (the San Bernardino Freeway slashes along the edge of the campus). Described by both his parents as "a real plugger," Gary Wilson has earned a rock-solid B average and the nickname "Old Reliable Wilson" for his industrious work as president and treasurer of Theta Chi fraternity and member...
