Jazz DIZZY GILLESPIE & THE DOUBLE SIX OF PARIS (Philips) soar from high spot to high spot, from Oo-Shoo-Be-Doo-Be to Ow. Dizzy does blithe acrobatics with his trumpet, then stands aside for the legendary expatriates Bud Powell and Kenny Clark to shine briefly on piano and drums. In the meanwhile, the Double Six, a sextet of jazz singers, chime in like an instrumental combo, and Mimi Perrin, who has an extraordinarily agile voice, even takes on a couple of solos meant for Charlie Parker's horn...
GEORGE RUSSELL SEXTET: THE OUTER VIEW (Riverside). These six do surgery on only five songs and have You Are My Sunshine stretched out on the operating table for twelve minutes. The theme, of course, is only a starter for Don Ellis' questing trumpet, Paul Plummer's poetic tenor sax and Composer-Arranger Russell's contemplative piano. They cut the melody into ribbons that swirl together in unlikely harmonies, but there is a cool logic and distant beauty all the same...
After 15 P.G.A. tournaments, in three of which neither played, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer were battling it out as usual for the lead in money winnings. The only thing still up for grabs was third trumpet on the Fort Knox bandwagon. Puerto Rico's Juan ("Chi Chi") Rodriguez was tooting mightily, and only a connoisseur would have the bad sense to ask whatever happened to Tony Lema. The standings last week, before the Colonial National in Fort Worth...
...Distant Trumpet is a far cry from the grand old westerns of yesterday. Taken from Paul Morgan's engrossing historical novel, which told how U.S. cavalrymen in the 1880s subdued one of the last powerful Apache chiefs, the movie plays down the drama of the great Southwest, plays up three bright young faces from Beverly Hills. All that fuss about redskins seems picayune compared with the plight of Lieut. Troy Donahue. Setting femmes aflutter at Fort Delivery, Ariz., Troy bestrides a flesh-and-blood horse, but his acting is appropriately wooden. He is an animated Ken doll with golden...
Short on excitement, Trumpet shows a streak of rather whimsical originality in a sequence that has Chief War Eagle speaking Apache lingo while English subtitles flash on the screen. A less significant breakthrough is James Gregory's mock heroic performance as a gruff old Indian fighter who charges into battle spouting quotations from Latin. Since completion of the film, Troy and Suzanne have become Mr. and Mrs. in private life, gamely rallying from disaster for a Hollywood finish of their very own: omnia vincit amor...
