...riding a three-game losing streak, inaugurated by Northeastern, but all three losses were suffered away from McHugh Forum, which regularly contains 4000 vocal B.C. partisans. Playing in the Eagles' nest makes Harvard the underdog in what could otherwise be listed an even match...
...Most vocal was 74-year-old Sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. "It seems to me," said he, "that the artist in this country is not protected at all. Nobody takes care of him. He's a kind of black sheep."

By singing over their own voices on tape (a process that took 60 hours of recording time), the three remarkably flexible jazz singers create an exciting vocal equivalent of Basic's big band (accompanied by a real Basie rhythm section). Together, the trio sounds the brasses or the reeds, then Annie Ross sings a bright trumpet solo (in Blues Backstage) or with Hendricks a mellow saxophone duet (Two for the Blues...
