CHIP HAWKES,
TREMELOESA LOT of people say
t'1 groups are going out,but I Just can't see It." saidChip Hawk es of the Treme-loes. " Our experience in theballrooms lately is quite theopposite.
"The Tremeloes used tohave a very good stage act,with lots of comedy. Nowwe find wc go to a ball-room and just play andthey scream."
Of course two big hitrecords may have somethingto do with It. The Treme-loes made it with " HereComes My Baby," their firstsingle since splitting withBrian Poole. Now. "Silenceis Golden" looks like beingan even bigger success forthem.
Chip, the newest Tremolo,told me: "This one is sel-ling three times as fast as' Here Comes My Baby.'The funny thing is we neverintended to release it as oursecond single. We've beendoing it on stage for abouta year and some of the CBSreps came and saw us. Thenumber went down so wellwe recorded It as an LPtrack.
The Tremeloes immediateambition is to make It big MAmerica.
" We start a 40 -des tourof the States in June," saidChip. " We don't yet know'who we wille be appearingwith but are all verykeen to make It there."
Not so long ago, peopleused to say that the Haleslacked an Image. Now theysay the same thing of the
Tremeloes." I don't think It bothers
us, much," said Chip. - Weare not moody blokes, so I
suppose we have more thanhappy Image than any-
thing - that's what we tryto put across on stage. Thecrowd like you to act as
though you are one of them-they like you to talk tothem, ad lib, crack a fewjokes."
Chip confessed that he and
Alan Blakley had a secretambition - to attend a
Beatles' recording session." We are both very Inter-
ested in the recording side
of the business, and the writ.Ing side, too," explainedChip. " We may eventuallygo Into that side of thingsalthough we haven't reallythought that far ahead-onething I'm sure of, I couldnever go right out of thisbusiness.
The 'Tremeloes have theirfirst album next week. Arethey satisfied with it?
"Not really," admittedChip. "It hasn't come out us
we wanted it. We wantedto get the full atmosphereof the studio by recordingwhat was happening In the
studio and having II be-
tween the tracks - the
mucking about and laughingand the rest of It. But they
had to cut it out."This is our first LP and
it's already out In the
States. We've got to make
another quick for Americanrelease In time for oar
tear."
Walker p
I was full of shame for myselfand the rest of the group
THE news of the WalkerBrothers split-up can't
really have shocked theirfollowers. Because a breakbetween the three WalkerBrothers has been Imminent.Now Scott, John and Garyare off on their separatepaths. After months ofrumours, denials, and specu-lation the final decision hasbeen taken to terminate theprofessional careers of thethree Walkers as a group.
Their life in Englandstarted when the tall leanAmericans strode into Lon-don, in March, two yearsago. In a matter of weeks" Love Her " marked theirfirst chart hit. This wasquickly followed by a Tom -her one smash, " Make ItEasy On Yourself," then"My Ship Is Coming In,"their second number one"The Sun Ain't GonnaShine Anymore," an EP hitrecord " I Need You," plus" You Don't Have To TellMe," "Another Tear Falls,""Deadlier Than The Male,"and "Stay With Me Baby."Finally tomorrow (Friday)the last Walkers single," Welkin' In The Rain," arevival of the old Ronetteshit, is released.
Naturally each ex -WalkerBrother has a plan. Thisweek they each discussedthe future.
SCOTTScott said:" After seeing our last
Palladium performance I thinkI really got things into per-spective and made up my mindto quit the group. It's a nastyfeeling watching a show likethat. I was so embarrassedNot only that, I was so fullof shame for myself and therest of the group. It was thelast straw, I was disgusted.
"You see when you're in agroup you have to take otherpeople's advice, you have tolisten to them, and adopt whatthey say so group policy. Butthat's the last time I everlisten to anyone!
"1 want to be free. 1 knoweveryone knows that ScottWalker's a difficult person towork with and only workswhen he wants-when he'sready Well, that's right.' fmnot singing until I'm ready.

We've got a few ideas down,
but there's nothing definite
AFTER THE SPLIT: NICK JONES PINPOINTS THREE NEW CAREERS I
Vaiker Brothers because I
was with two other guys whoceded the bread and one of
them had a family to supportrid so on Money isn't im-
portant to me. I don't have towork just for the money.
"The pressures were nearlytlways outside the grouprather than within. Peoplewere always asking us if wewere going to split, egging usin, as though they wanted us.0. Things were OK reallyuntil the Australian tour.then things began to brew -upwithin the group as well.
"We smoothed it out andt wasn't until the British tourhat everything came on again
and that was it. I guess thattour was about the own -up!But then I'd been thinkingabout leaving anyway.
" Well Pm cutting an LP be-fore a single because an albumwill give me more room todevelop s new kind of style.It's probably taking a risk,and it's uncommercial and dif.ficult to understand hut it'sthe feeler. I'm writing my ownodd abstract stuff. Like sur-realistic songs done in or-chestral movement - I find ithas an effect on people whoknow - I don't want the TomJones scene.
"I'll be skint if the LPdoesn't work - but I won'tswitch back to the old com-rnercial scene. Never. It's allthe way with me now. I wantit to be first class all the waytoo. Money isn't my god -maybe later - but not now.As soon as I'm singing inRonnie Scott's club f won'thave to do anything else!
"I'm starting work on a
television show too - not aseries just a one shot. A sortof one man thing, with a bigorchestra, 35 or 40 men, andof course I'd like to do con-certs with the same orchestrabut that's difficult."
JOHN
ALWAYSonstage to give
Scott a helping hand wasJohn Maus, second singer withthe original group. Vocalpraise usually goes to Scott-but this Isn't going to deterJohn Walker In his search forsuccess. He says:
" Several things have madeup my mind to go solo. I'vedecided there's no point inmessing about - you know-why bother? I'm going intoshe recording studios thisweek it possible.
" I've got to form a backinggroup, but I'm not exactlysure what I want at themoment - but it's fun. It'slike starting all over again. I
want to try and create sonic -
thing that'll be worth the ef-fort. When the WalkersBrothers worked together weall had
many thing that youcan't do, that you want to.
"The spark was beginningto fade away as a group -ow it will come back to ussndividually.
We all had somany things on our mind thatwe couldn't get out in thegroup. So I feel free really."
John doesn't think theWalker Brothers' split willleave their fans stranded
"Eventually we'll all be outon the road again and thenfans will be able to see Engelin Bournemouth, whereasLeeds will be somewhere else,.d I'll be somewhere else."
GARYFINALLY
there is drummerGary Leeds, the least
spectacular Walker Brother,but possibly the happiest one.Gary cut solo records whilehe was still with the trio, so
" going solo " won't be sucha large step for him. He said;
" Well, it gives us all achance to do more things. I
have sadness because of every-one involved-the fans andeverything-but I think wecan all go in our own direc-tions now and lay down what-ever we've got.
"I'm recording in conjunc-tion with Graham Nash of theHollies, this week, who haswritten some stuff with me.We's got a few ideas downbut there's nothing definitelike a release date or any -
thing yet. I don't set whthere should be any hurry. Wjust want to make a goorecord
"Then we leave for a hotiday in Morocco on Sunday."

In losing the style settersof Its formative era, jazzfinds Itself In a uniquelysad situation. The art,now six or seven de-cades old as an inde-pendent, clearly identi-fiable Idiom, is at astage that leaves noroom for full and last-ing recognition to beaccorded to the menwho helped it grow.

How would we assessRembrandt if all hismasterpieces had beenconsigned to a vault andthe key thrown assay?What basis would wehave for evaluation ofChaplin's two -teeters ifthe negatives had beendestroyed?
The men and women wholeft a legacy in thespheres of architecture,drama, literature, pho-tography, ceramics, allthe graphic arts, willlive for centuries be-cause their work can beand have been pre-served. Bach and Stra-vinsky will never beconsigned to oblivionwhile a single set ofmanuscripts exists.
But jazz, a music in whichimprovisation plays acentral role, Is in danger
of extinction, for if itis not heard at themoment of creation, oron a permanent record-ing of that moment, itceases to exist.
Efforts are being made bymen like Mike Lipskinat RCA, Frank Driggsand John Hammond atColumbia, to preservesome of the contribu-tions of the pioneersthrough a programme ofintermittent re -issues.
But the next importantmove Is up to the stu-dent and musician of1967. He owes it tohimself, to the artists'memory and to the re-luctant, sales -obsessedrecord companies, topatronise these projects.
Instead of rushing to thestore to complete hiscollection of some newly

It is just as degrading totreat an) music as afad, as an exclusive pre-serve of some idol ofthe moment as it is forthe mouldy figs to buyonly Dixieland and ig-nore what's happeningnow.
Yet record Sales revealthat a small cult hearsonly the old; another,somewhat larger culthears only the new.
Nobody who really caresfor jazz can afford toignore the legacy ofthese artists who willnever again he heardlive.
MY FAVOURITE TIONGSBILL COLEMANCHOOSES LOUISARMSTRONG'S " KNEE DROPS "
LOUIS Armstrong was myfirst inspiration and I
listened to all of his re-cords I could get hold of.The Hot Fives and SevensIn this collection - "HisGreatest Years " I guessI heard most of themwhen they came out.
They're all so great, youhome, "Carnet Chop Suey,"" Potato Head," "KeyholeBlues" "West End,"" Basin Street," that Icould have chosen any ofdozens. "Knee Drops" isone of many I like thatL ouis did In the Twenties.I lore them all, but 1 thinkthat's my real favourite.
It has special memories forme. I had started then, beenplaying trumpet a fewyears, bat I used to copyLouts' rerurds. Oh yes, infact if he played a bail noterd put that in as well.
I have to pick lands becausein the beginning I moos -liedmyself on him. I couldn'tg et away from those ideashe had when I war trying10 find my way of playing,
There have been plenty oftrumpet players since thenThat I admire but I still sayI.Oula Is my favourite be-cause of all the things Ilearned from him risen Istarted out. When you're abeginner you have to be In-spired by someone.
Now this particular number,"Knee Drops," Is In 15 Mat!I used to play H on my bonsalong with the record, andeventually got to the placewhere I could blow It alongwith Louis note for note.
My tone may have been dif-ferent but the improvisa-tion, 1 had that.
And, of course, it was too...f-ining to play. Louis hadsome rielinique, and har-monically war years aheadof his time. Take thisrecord, to begin with, whenhe plays the Introduction hemake a phrase that anytrumpet player of todaywould consider modern, andwhen he Menses in on hissolo he plays some very un-expected things. Then thereare the wonderful breaksIn the last chorus: oh, mareexamplesof his advancedIdeas.
I came up o that one, andLouis

date on it - in fact moreup-to-date than he soundstoday.
This was one of the first ofhis records with the newband. The tenor is JimmySienna and the piano's EarlHines; I rentembar beingimpressed by Farl's backhand styk. And Zutty, ofcourse, was behind thedrums.
But Louis was the man . . .so far over most of hisCOliellguet. I can InsagimKing Oliver being like thatIn his day - If Armstronggot so much from hint, ashe says.

DIDN'T LIKE MANFRED AT ALL AT FIRST.
HE SEEMED RUDE AND NASTY,
BUT THEN YOU REALISE HE'S NOT
REALLY A BIT LIKE THAT 0
KLAUS VOORMANHAMBURG: I was theren -n only last week. I wasastonished how the wholeatmosphere has gone down.I went to the Star Club andit was so boring. It was aterrible noise; the groupsweren't particularly good, itwas practically empty andthere was no atmosphere.The Top Ten Club seemedto be about the same. I loveHamburg, it's beautiful. Ilove the Ulster. I livedthere for six years. I liked togo to places just outside,like Blankenees. It's lovely.It's by the Elbe, which isvery wide at that point andthere are some lovely walksthere. But being such a longtime now in England, Ifound the people very coldand stiff. Once you havemade a friend there younever lose him, but the gen-eral atmosphere was reallyterrible somehow. It's esthough the people are diffi-cult to reach, a sort of Ger-man attitude.
FISH AND CHIPS: What aterrible question. Every
time we stop at a chip shop,my nose closes, I can't standthe smell, the look, or thetaste. When the group eatthem in the ear, I go potty.I just have to leave. MichaelD'Abo is mad about fish andchips. I think they shouldclose all the shops and banthem from the country.
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool wasthe first town in England thatI ever visited when I camemany years ago to the funeralof Stuart Sutcliffe. I was verymuch Impressed then by theEnglish people. Apart from theBeatles and Gerry and thePacemakers and the otherLiverpool groups I knew inHamburg, these were the firstEnglish people I met and Ias amazed because they were
so friendly and helpful. Theylet me stay with them, lookedafter me, and took me roundthe clubs. Maybe It was be-cause I was foreign. I wasonly there ten days and I wasso impressed. Now, musically.It's gone down. One thing Icouldn't get used to In Eng-land was the cold rooms.Every house In Germany is
justcouldn't
healed and Icouldn't get warm in Liver-pool-not even with 10 blan-kets.
ART: What happens todayIn art is that people put artinto frames-by that I meanthere is a kind of fashion trendin art. People say "that's popart," or "art nouveau "; theypush things into categories. Iwould never do this. I wouldnever paint something and say" that's pop art." I'd do it be-cause I like doing It that way.Everyone is obviously influ-enced by the things aroundthem, but I'd never paint Inthis way. It's not right to putart into restricting frames. I'dlike to see critics of critics inart. One man sees a paintingand Judges it. He might becompletely wrong, but peopleassume he's right. It would hemarvellous to have someoneto criticise the critics. I don'tspend as much time on artas people say I should. It's apity. really, I'd like to spendmore time.
MUSIC: Funny, but the firstthing I think of Is soul. Allgood music, whether classicalor Asiatic music or anything,has soul. I dislike light music,hut everyone says this. There'sa nice movement in music atthe moment. It's good that it'sgetting to be a more visualthing, too. For example, some-one makes a film about a popsong As a film, it might beawful, but with the music itcould he a very impressivework. I think this sort ofmovement Is widening thebusiness, which is a goodthing, particularly for thegroups. It's a way to grow.
JIMI HENDRIX: Fantastic.Really. It must bee sad thing
though. tie says he doesn'thave a voice. How ridiculoushe'd be if he had the voicehe'd like to have, along withhis musical ability.
MANFRED MANN: What afunny question! I like thegroup more and more, becauseevery individual In it is so
strong. They are so great, withtheir mistakes as well as theirabilities. I didn't like Manfredat all et first. He seemed rudeand nasty, but when you workwith him you realise this isonly an impression People getof him because he's not a bitlike that. I think going withthe Manfred, has been a good
thing for me-don't you? ButI can admit that I was doubt-ful at first. But Manfred toldme only yesterday that hethinks the reason the grouphas stayed successfu/ is be-cause it had changes.
THE BEATLES: All I cansay is, at the moment I amvery upset. ft's a difficult thingto talk about but I feel verysad. I can't explain it andanyway, you couldn't write it.I adore them. I think they arethe biggest thing ever. WhenI heard their new LP, it wasjust too much. It is so amaz-ing. It's a major step forwardagain from "Revolver." Theyhave gone on again so farfrom that it's unbelievable.
DORTMUNDER UNIONBIER: I'm not a great beerdrinker, but when I do drinkit is usually lager beer, whichDortmunder Union beer-likemost German beer-is. 1 dranksome yesterday in Brussels,funnily enough. I'm not aheavy drinker, so I couldn'tcompare it with other beets.It brings to mind that Dort-mund is supposed to be theplace where more beer perhead of population is drunkthan anywhere else.
EAST BERLIN: It brings myyouth back to me. East Berlinseems to have stopped whereit was when I was a boy. It'sawful. I get very emotionalabout it. I haven't seen itsince the wall went up becauseI am a West Berliner and weare not allowed to see theother side at any cost_ I re-member helping people tocross from east to west beforethe wall went up.

FLUTE: I'm definitely goingto a teacher. I know of one,but he's not on the phone. I'vewritten to him. I believe he'sreally good.
THE CUP FINAL: EverySaturday I get terribly inter-ested in whose been knockedout or who's through. who isplaying in the Final. Chelseaand Tottenham-how didChelsea make it? I can't go.although I'd love to see it.But we'll be working. In away I'm mad about football.I used to play a lot myself.

DAVE DEE, Dozy, BeakyMick and Tick: "Okay:"
(Fontana).
Dave Dee! That's one of thebiggest sounds we've got. Ilove the Eastern snake charm-er music in it. I said oncethat I considered them ratherlike the /lollies and Beatlesin that they always come upsounding very fresh. They al-ways suggest a lot of fun tome, they always sound asthough they are having a greattime. 1 hope it's a big hit.In my book, they always makegood records.
ELVIS PRESLEY: "TheLove Machine " (RCA
Victor).
I haven't the faintest ideawho this is but I'd say it wasAmerican. Walt a minute, Itisn't Elvis Presley is it) Ithink this is ghastly. I've beenaccused of neglecting Elvis inmy programmes although I'venever failed to play one ofhis new releases because I'ma great Presley fan. But I'venever heard hint sing worsethan on this record. At theoutset I thought it was some-one with a touch of the DeanMartins. Still, if anybody hadtold me they could play mea Presley record I wouldn'trecognise I'd have bet U00 -
Fancy not recognising him.There goes my career as adisc jockey.
THE KINKS: " WaterlooSunset" (Pye).
It's the Kinks. Can I hearbirds singing in the back-ground? There's a sort of Winchester Cathedral feelingabout this. I think the Kinkshave been away front thescene too long. I think it'sa great shame when a majorgroup finds it hard to be inthe Top 20. Peter Quaife wastelling me they spent a lotof time and trouble over thisrecord and it sounds like ahit song to me. I like theway they have toned it down.Even in the climaxes it nevergets out of hand. It's nice tohear the Kinks in a tranquilmood. It's a very hummahlesong, which is why I thoughtof Winchester Cathedral.
JOHN'S CHILDREN: "Des-demona " (Track),
I don't know them. What's
BLIND DATEthat lyric - "lift up yourskirt?" Can I hear it right theway through again, please? I
like the idea of the song. It'svery repititious with justenough lyrical content to makeyou think " Aye, aye ". I see
it as part of the psychedelicscene, being conceived to col-oured lights being flashedaround. I like IL The memberof the group who answers thelead singer has a great voice.I'd like to hear more of him.
NANCY SINATRA: "LoveEyes" (Reprise).
It's Nancy Sinatra. Whatabout that, it's great. She Is
a far better singer than mostpeople want to give her creditfor. On a couple of her LPsshe really gives out as if sheisn't bogged down by the" Will it he commercial?" bitand she seems to be in thesame frame of mind on thissingle. It's one of the mostunusual songs I've heard fora singles release in the lasttwo months. I love the bigproduction behind it. I don'thear this as Top 20 but thenthe pop pickers and I oftenMine that problem.
WALKERBROTHERS :
" Walking In The Rain "(Philips).
The Walker Brothers. I'venever heard another recordingsound like this produced inBritain, I don't like the soundeffects bit with the rain. It'srather sad to think they won'tbe making records togetheragain because I think they'vecontributed one of the greathighlights to British pop musicof the past few years_ Thisis one of their least effectivesongs, hut I think Scott hasone of the most romanticvoices In the business. He isreally able to caress a lyricand give It a sexy something.
SON,,NpLunkA,FID, oulanCtiHoER:
Is it Mae West? I love it-I think it's fantastic. She ab.solutely kills me but I don'tknow who it Is. Sonny andCher? Neverl I wonder if theygot the idea from Mae West'srecent LP. I would havethought it was an old bur-lesque queen who wanted tomake a comeback. In thesedays when everybody's on a1930s kick It could be a hitif it gets the exposure. It willcertainly be the highlight ofanybody's party, and I canimagine all the discothequesplaying it. Only the Americanscan produce such a blend ofcorny humour and make itsound feasible.
MOODY BLUES: "FlyMe High" (Decca),
I know the sound - it'sthe Moody Blues. They alwaysget such a great feel. I lovethis. Oh, what beautiful har-mony there! Fabulous! Noticehow they establish it veryquietly and build withoutmaking a big fuss. That isthe best record we've heardtoday so far, without anydoubt. I thought the rhythmwas very subtle, so cool andas definite. And they didn'toveruse the harmonies. It's afascinating record altogether.If they don't get right up thechart there just isn't any Jus-tice.
VAL DOONICAN: "TwoStreets" (Deese).
Val Doonican. It's a muchfaster tempo, but the idea isvery much 'Elusive Butter-fly." I wish they wouldn'thave that girl chorus chirpingin, with nothing to say. 1
think Val's singing techniquehas improved but this recordis very ordinary.
LEE DORSEY: "My OldCar" (Stateside),
I know this, it's Lee Dorsey.I wonder how much theAmerican record makers areinfluenced by What's happen-ing over here - they mustbe with a song about "MyOld Car." Lee Dorsey hasmade many sensational singlesbut it took A Iona, long timebefore people took notice ofhim here. I can't quite makeup my mind whether this Isa hit record or not, but I'veliked every record I've had byLee Dorsey.

REVIEWERS: BOB DAWBARN, BOB HOUSTON, MAX JONES
FREEDOM AND IT WORKSCOLLECTIVE improvisation in jazz
harks right back to the NewOrleans bands and several prominentcontemporary m u s is ians havegrappled with its implications in a" free " setting.
This album is almost seven years old, andwas the forerunner of similar experimentsby John Coltrane (" Ascension") and theJazz Composers' Orchestra. For my money,it is still the most successful recording ofits type.
DOMINATINGIt is difficult to pinpoint the reasons for
its superiority; perhaps it is the dominatinginfluence of Ornette Coleman, who playsmagnificently in his solo, or the perpetualmotion of the four -manrhythm section - althoughoccasionally it gets a bitmuddy - or just that mostof the eight musicians in-volved were more adaptableto the idiom.
Hubbard, whose appear-ance on this and on Col-trane's " Ascension " is asmuch a mystery to him asanyone else, is certainlyinhibited in his work here.He sounds extremely cau-tious and tentative but isstill enough of a craftsmanto pull himself through.
SUPERBOn the more positive side
is the work oi. Coleman.Dolphy and Cherry. Ornette'ssolo is excellent, and althoughDolphy's short solo contribu-tion is nowhere near as spec-tacular as one might expect,his contributions to the en-sembles and " harmonicons "-as Ornette describes
them -is superb. He reallyknits the group together,often providing intelligent andinspiring promptings to thesOloisis.

The first side opens with aunison passage before movinginto solos by Dolphy, Hub.bard and Coleman. TheSecond side has Cherry solo-ing, but in the main to givenOver to La Faro, Haden,Blackwell and Higgins - allsuperb musicians who createfascinating moments.
This is one of the importantjazz records; it should cer-tainly be heard by anyonewith an interest in contem-porary music. One point,though, is that it is mucheasier to follow in stereo andif you have the equipment,make a point of getting a

PARDON me, lads, but yourinfluences are showing!
Tubby Hayes has mom thana touch of 1960 Coltrane on" Freedom"; Mike Pyne re-minds me of McCoy Tyner,Tony Coe still shows tracesof Paul Gonsalves. FrankEvans has certainly heard ofWes Montgomery. In fact themost original performances onthe record come from trornren.ist Picard.
Still, there is a lot of verynice music on this albumrecorded during a live concertat Bristol University.
The two Tubby tracks,which take up Side One, arepoorly recorded - Condon, inparticular, suffering from tonedistortion, . Freedom " is afast Coltraneish performance,while on the first half of" When " Tubby reverts to amore Don Byes approach inboth tone and concept. Thisis a long tenor feature andbeautifully played.
Side Two much betterrecorded and opens with thetightly -knit Cocard group.There Is. in fact, less Gon-salves than usual in Coe'splaying and both he and Pic-ard turn in excellent perforrnSamoa.
Evans is a Bristol musicianmaking his first record and it'sa pretty impressive debut. Hehas complete command of hisinstrument and good, thoughnot always original, ideas.
The rhythm sections are allgood and I particularly likethe relaxed feel of the Poobrook-Ind-Dougan line-up onthe two Coe tracks - B.D.

FPHROUGH the years sincehe first enlightened me
with some inventive playingat the Service Club In Ken-sington, Lennie Felix hasgiven my ears as much plea-sure as any native Inc plan.let. and more than mast.
This album, presenting himalone at the piano, catcheswhat I might call the Felixessence. He is, by nature,a soloist - strongly two-handed and with en expantivespontaneous, musical stylethat cannot easily be con.tinned.
He likes to stretch out onmelodies of his choosing andallow his emotions a freerein. and this is what happenson " In His Stride." Eventhe title means something,since Lennie is a well-knownexponent and lover of theHarlem stride manner of play-ing.
Of the tunes here, " BlueTurning Grey" and "SqueezeMe" reflect Lennle's tong -
held admiration for Fats Wel.ler, The former, In any event,is a rewarding tune to playand Felix extracts most of thejuice from it. " What's New"is another elegant balladtrack.
Echoes Of Fats can be heardin numbers other than theWaller pieces, for he - likeHines, James P, Johns. andTatum - was a prime Felixinfleunce. But the pianistblends these, and other key-board directions into a homo-geneous "orchestral" style ofhis own. We hear it flour.letting on " embraceable,"" Ilotema." "Love" and oneor two more of the quality
standards. Also on "BlueB." which in fart is the bluesin C, though this leisurely am-proviution suggests a school-ing in Stacy and Sullivan.
Sometimes Lennie lets oneImage come through lullstrength, as on "MorningStroll" which is no deeplytinged with Lionism thattook it at first for one ofWillie Smith's jaunty melodles.
In fact It is a Pella tuneto part of which he applieshis stride method, as he doeson "Crazy Rhythm." Heat his most reflective On"Destiny but the whole al-bum is full of One, pretty(to quote the immortal Fats)Arabian things.

Technically,Jack Jones is one of the bestsingers around, though hehasn't climbed the heights ofsome of this contemporaries.But it'll come if the evidenceof this new album Is to bebelieved. A great voice sing.Ing some fine songs - "-ADay In The Life Of A Fool'"
Somewhere My Love,""Autumn Leaves," " TheShining Sea." And more. AndJack gives every lyric, fast orslow, a lot of superb feeling.
THE POZO-SECO SINGER& " Introducing the Polo:Seco Singers" (CBS). TwoTexans and a dishy blondefrom the same Lone Starstate make up the P -S Singers.Sound is based hard in folkand country, but with a dashof originality In the arrange-ments and vocal harmonies.Very pleasant, though they.won't set the pop scene onfire on this side of theAtlantic. Titles On this firstalbum include " Changes,"" If I Were A Carpenter,'" ICan Make It With You Baby"and their US hit "Time."
