...hamlike hand. With his other hand, he sketches out a casual beat. Then he may break into a surprisingly agile buck and wing and lead his combo (trombone, clarinet, drums, bass, piano, trumpet) into a searing chorus of Down by the Riverside. Snarling, growling, shivering into a remarkably clean vibrato or soaring through long, liquid phrases, the trumpet slices through the group's sound like a blade...

Both singers have a taste for vibrato, gratuitous grunts and wailing crescendos that achieve the remarkable effect of smearing some of the most singable lines ever written. On a United Artists album, Diahann Carroll, who appears as Clara in the movie, gets a chance to sing her own part and a number of other songs with the André Previn Trio (Previn was musical director...
