Bill Lockwood

Rocking Lincoln CenterBy DAVE FINKLE

NEW YORK - Bill Lock-wood, Lincoln Center's "in-house Ron Delsener" becausehe talked the Center a fewyears back into "putting theirmoney where their facilitiesare," is trying to do a fewthings to broaden the musicalactivities at the prestigious cen-ter, among which is adding popperformers to Lincoln Center's"Great Performers" series.

Lockwood talked to RecordWorld last week on this subjectand also on his aim to establishAlice Tully Hall as an inter-mediary showcase house fornew or relatively -new talent.

Lockwood said that his intentin booking pop acts on theGreat Performers series is tospotlight the composers who arewriting "the music of their day"much as Mozart and Bach werewriting the music of theirs, andto this end, his choice of per-formers is consistent with thephilosophy of Lincoln Center.

(Among the performers whohave appeared so far are JamesTaylor, Kris Kristofferson and,most recently, Donny Hatha-way.)

Advance BookingOne of Lockwood's problems

in booking is that he has todecide on his artists-in orderto set up schedules and solicitsubscribers-a season in ad-vance and therefore has to relyon his powers as clairvoyant inorder to assure him and theCenter that the artists will bedraws as the date arrives. Tay-lor (whom he booked on thestrength of the soloist's Appleablum and a strong perform-ance A Princeton's McCarterTheater, which he also books)and Hathaway are two in-stances where Lockwood's edu-cated guess has worked. Nextyear he's hoping that theMahavishnu Band will be an-other.

Whereas there were eightpop entertainers included last

NMC RackingJ.W. Robinson OCEANSIDE, N. Y. - NMCCorp. announced last week thatit has been named exclusiverack jobber of records andtapes for the 19 -unit J. W.Robinson department storechain in Southern California.

NMC President Jesse Selterhailed the development as a"breakthrough" for the com-pany, declaring "this is our firstcontract with a departmentstore chain on the West Coast."

year, Lockwood expects to havenine or 10 next year.

Alice Tully Hall, Lockwoodsaid, is "perfect for recordcompanies who want to show-case new talent. It isn't a com-mercial venture for us or forthe Ron Delseners, becauseeven if you sell out, you barelybreak even. But if a companyis willing to underwrite a per-formance, they have a wonder-ful hall that is between theBitter End and the big hallsin size and acoustically may bethe best room in town. Actsthat aren't big enough yet tofill large halls, but don't wantto open for other performerswould find this hall ideal."

Last week Nonesuch's Jo-shua Rifkin played Scott Joplinrags at the Hall and Capricorn'sJonathan Edwards is due aswell as Bobby Short, who willgive his only concert in NewYork this season.

Lockwood began his careerpromoting in 1958 when he anda group of fellow students atPrinceton pooled whatevermoney they had to sponsor aKingston Trio concert. Itworked. Subsequently he be-came involved with Sol Hurok,who encouraged him to open anoffice in San Francisco, wherehe stayed for a few years inthe early '60s and sewed up theclassical and folk field. He re-turned to Princeton for twoyears and then arrived at Lin-coln Center.

"At Lincoln Center theythink of me as a specialist inclassical music. because I candistinguish between kirchelnumbers, but my biggest kickcomes from being able to re-member I put James Taylor ona bill with Laura Nyro whenno one knew him."

Groove MerchantsInto Pop, kbWith Plum Label NEW YORK-Sonny Lester,President of Groove Merchants,International, announced lastweek the company's entry intothe pop and R & B field withthe formation of Plum Records.The new label will make itsdebut with an album by come-dian James Wesley Jackson, re-corded in concert at MandelHall at the University of Chi-cago, and with a single, dueout May 1, by singer MauriceJackson.

In thiscapacity, he will be liaisonwith promotion people through-out the country while stillmaintaining his own independ-ent status.

"This unprecedented ar-rangement," stated Lester, "isa result of the magnificent jobEddie Thomas has done forGroove Merchants Interna-tional during the first sixmonths of our existence. Hehas been instrumental inlaunching Groove MerchantsInternational regionally andgreatly contributed to the na-tional success we are enjoying.

"Today, there are no moredivisions between `pop,' R&B,'`country,' etc. When it comesto sales, the only things thatcount are product and promo-tion. With the right productand proper, professional ex-posure, a. hit or an artist willcross over from one area to theother as it moves up."

Ery Bagley, Vice -Presidentin charge of Sales for GrooveMerchants International, willdirect all sales, marketing anddistribution for Plum Records.

Mary Travers

Portrait of a (Liberated) Lady

Mary Travers

By DAVID FINKLE

(Mary Travers became part ofthe nascent Peter, Paul andMary when someone recom-mended her to Peter Yarrow,saying "she's a good singer, ifyou can get her to work." Sheworked with the trio for 10years, and then when it disband-ed-still owing Warner Bros. onealbum- became a solo artist -for WB-f or the first time in herlife. Record World interviewedher recently in the rambling,tastefully cluttered East SideNew York townhouse she shareswith her editor husband, her twochildren by her first marriageand his two children by his first

marriage. Miss Travers suggests in manner what one suspects aunicorn would-graceful, proud, possessed of a strong delicacy andedged in nervousness. She spoke eagerly, requiring little prompt-ing, and with an aristocratic earnestness.)

On the break-up of Peter, Paul and Mary: "I like to say the actwas retired. That's what I tell everybody. I don't like the con-cept of 'break.' After 10 years, which is like 30 with an act, youhave to get tired. I mean you see those folks 18 hours a day, fromthe time you get up to rehearse to the hotel door that night. Yousee them more than married people see each other. It begins to getingrown. We ceased to be able to grow on each other's creativity.It started to happen musically before it happened performing -wise. Something was needed that didn't occur. Perhaps a TV show.If we had had a television series, something new might have hap-pened, but it didn't. It was a terrible crucible."

On insights after the group's retirement: "You mean, after Ipicked myself up off the floor. Being in the group for me was likebeing kept. I had no responsibilities, except artistic ones. It wasa marvelous life. It was great, but it was unreal. It was like beingkept, and you know, there is some satisfaction in knowing whatis happening. All the time I was in the group I never felt I earnedany money. I never saw a check. I never saw a check! I neverknew what we made and I never asked. I mean, the money wasthere if I wanted to spend it, but I never knew. It wasn't the por-trait of a very liberated lady standing there between those twomen. But you learn the most amazing things about yourself whenyou leave a group. At least I did. I learned that the cliches I be-lieved about myself were not true. I had always thought I waslazy. What I learned was that I just didn't like being pushed.Peter always had a great capacity for work. He could go all dayand wanted, needed to be involved in every aspect of the business.I learned that I just seemed lazy in that set of circumstances. Iused to hate recording. I mean I loathed it. Then I found out why.By the time the boys got down the instrumental tracks, I had lostmy voice. I'm not a person who can give half a performance. WhenI open my mouth, that's it. It all comes out. I'm only learning nowto hold back during rehearsals. I have found out more about thethings I like, the things I can do. I am no longer acquiescent. I findit increasingly difficult to not ask why. I want to know who'sdoing it, did it get done? I had been in kind of an adolescent posi-tion. Somehow the world is now more real. When I gamble, I gam-ble on myself. It's a bigger risk, for instance, making an album.We used to have tremendous philosophical discussions over eachsong, over individual lines. Now at least I'm only arguing with

me. It's a bigger danger. I mean, there was safety in that cross -edit. 'Can you say this?' Can you live with it if someone else saysit?' Or will it just not go?' Now I've begun to understand thatmaybe it's better without that cross -edit. The question of leavinga group is like leaving college. You are no longer defined by thepeople with whom you are associated. You are defined by yourself."

On her first solo album and the second, just released: "My firstalbum, although I didn't think of it that way at the time, was atransitional album. At first I thought I'll wait a year and have ahost of experiences. But I grow through doing. Maybe a writerhas to sit and let things gestate, but a singer can't. It has to bemanipulated through his body. The John Denver songs on the firstalbum had the kind of ethic that was Peter, Paul and Mary's. TheDavid Buskin songs, for instance, on the second album are a de-parture. 'Man Song' knocks me out. It's sung from the man's pointof view, and for a couple of days before I recorded it, I thoughtabout changing it somehow, to make the fact that a woman wassinging it less confusing. I decided to sing it the way it was writ-ten, because it's really as much about male liberation as femaleliberation. The song says 'I won't think of you as softness, if youdon't think of me as hard.' What women don't seem to be under-standing now is that for each role a woman plays, there is a malecounter -role. There are always opposites in role-playing, never amiddle ground. On many levels I have always felt liberated. I'vebeen self-supporting for many years. I'm tall-almost six feet,five 10. On many levels I'm not liberated and don't want to be.I think, if I were writing 100 years from now, I'd write 'Theycame into the hotel and since there was no porter handy, he pickedup the valise. When they got to the room, she washed out his socksfor the next day.' That's role-playing. Well, I'll wash socks. I'mnot going to make a thing about it. And believe me, I wish therewas something I could do for you guys in elevators in response tohaving a man take his hat off to me. I think that's mice. I'll letyou open the door for me. It's nice to be recognized. Liberationshould not mean that one of us is out and the other is in. Freedomdoesn't mean the right to ignore each other. I certainly hope wedon't lose graciousness."

On choosing songs: "One of the reasons I chose 'Man song' isthat it was the easiest way for me to discuss women's liberation.Writers tend to use the cliches attached to causes when they sitdown to write the song. I think of cause songs as that clumsy,black -and -white look of the Socialist Realism movement in Russianart. It's unpoetic. I like songs that are extroverted statements, onthe other hand. I don't like songs that become so subjective thatthey can be rejected, that you don't have to apply it to yourself.I like songs that require participation. If it's too strange, it'shappening to somebody else. Finding songs can drive you crazy.CRAZY! I have two ways of finding songs. My musical arranger,Milt Okun, calls all the publishers and asks them to send overeverything they have. And I buy records. I go into a store andbuy maybe 500 dollars worth of records. Out of those I'm luckyif I find five records I even want to listen to again, let alone recordsongs from. In the case of Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Conscien-tious Objector," I made a song. I couldn't find a song that saidwhat I wanted it to say. This poem said it. I called up Lee Hold -ridge and said, 'set this to music.' I love Paul Williams songs. I choseone of his songs with the word 'hero' in it because I think youguys have some words we should have too. Who wants to be a`heroine'? I don't want to be a 'Ms.' either. And how about 'emas-culate'? There is no female equivalent, although we ladies have alot going for us and we can get pretty dispirited too. I also lookfor songs with a sense of humor."

LOBO-Big Tree 134 (Bell)THE ALBATROSS (Stonehenge, BMI)WE'LL MAKE IT-I KNOW WE WILL(Famous/Kaiser, ASCAP)"Albatross" never quite gets off theground. Flip, more in his "Me And YouAnd A Dog Named Boo" bag, couldclick. Try both.

JOE PERKINS-Plush 100 (Jewel)WRAPPED UP IN YOUR LOVE(Lenny 'North Bluff, ASCAP)LOOKING FOR A WOMAN (Lenny/North Bluff, ASCAP)There's no getting around it. This guysounds a whole lot like the late OtisRedding. His sound is as popular nowas it ever was. Could be.

THE MAYTALS-Shelter 7311 (Capitol)54-46 WAS MY NUMBER (Irving, BMI)THE MAN (Kenwood, BMI)Of the label's three reggae releases thisweek, this one would seem to have thebest chance to catch the ear of the U.S.audience. Irresistable rhythms.

BARBARA MANDRELL-Columbia 45580SHOW ME (Tree, BMI)Country cutie likes to dig into the rockand r&b fields for material. Her ver-sion of the Joe Tex classic could go onto "Rose Garden" -like renown.

SPARROW-Spark 05RAINSUN SONG (Southern, ASCAP)HELLO GOODBYE (Southern, ASCAP)

From the nature rock musical "Thim-gumyjig," as pretty a show tune asthere's been recently. Has definite poppotential. Check it out.

HANK BALLARD-People 606 (Polydor)FINGER POPPIN' TIME (Lois, BMI)Hank's biggest hit is brought back,this time with a more contemporarydance beat. Produced by long-timefriend James Brown, this one could hitall over again.

TONY & CAROL-Roulette 7123YOU AND I (Jamf, BMI)Young duo's second release improvesgreatly upon their first and sounds likea hit, if at times like Stevie Wonder's"Place In The Sun." Just fine.

GARY ST. CLAIR-Paramount 0155DR. ROCK AND ROLL (125th Street, ASCAP)Not only does this one make use ofthose magic words, rock and roll, in itstitle, but it injects a dose of that brandof music into its grooves. It will neverdie.

LAX-Mums 6005 (CBS)AIN'T PEOPLE KIND (TO THE BLIND)(Warner-Tamerlane/Skol, BMI)

This one's most appealing feature isits variation of that old staple, the BoDiddley rhythm. But it's got a cleverlyric and a good vocal too.

LAYNG MARTINE-Barnaby 2059 (CBS)FIND OUT IF SHE LIKES ME (Ahab, BMI)Artist has had a string of near -hitnovelties of late. The "teenage" lyricsof his latest almost seem to be a put-on, but it's all in good fun.

DANNY WOODS-Invictus 9116 (Capitol)LET ME RIDE (Gold Forever, BMI)IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG (Gold Forever, BMI)Member of the Chairman of the Boardgoes the solo route with an uptemporouser from his brand new album. Jollygood work.

LITTLE BOYD-Lamga 000213 HIGHWAY (Mikel Hooks, ASCAP)RON-DE-VIEW 36 (Mike) Hooks, ASCAP)This one's that all -to -rare item nowa-days, a hard, harsh basic blues single.Side features some sharp harmonicablowing. Well sung.

VAN McCOY-Buddah 297I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU BABY(Kama Sutra/Van McCoy, BMI)Van's a proven hit songwriter and pro-ducer, but not since "Mr. D.J." has hebeen a hit artist.

With spins, sales.

RICHIE HAVENS-Stormy Forest 664 (MGM)WHERE YOU GONNA RUN TO? (Stormy Forest, ASCAP)I'VE GOT TO GET TO KNOW MYSELF(Stormy Forest, ASCAP)Richie's sound isn't every top 40's cupof tea, but, as "Here Comes The Sun"proved, he can catch on if given a shot.His latest deserves that much, at least.

RICHARD LANDIS-Dunhill 4307NATURAL CAUSES (Twill/Portobello Road, ASCAP)Title cut from this singer -songwriter'spromising first album shows him to bestadvantage. Pretty melody with literatelyric, intelligently sung.

AtlantaWE BELIEVE the Atlanta Rhythm Section will be the biggestgroup to ever come out of the South.WE BELIEVE in the Atlanta Rhythm Section not only becausethey are some of the finest musicians in the country today, butalso because they believed in themselves enough to turn theirbacks on lucrative careers as hit songwriters and sought aftermusicians to make this album.WE BELIEVE their debut album, "The Atlanta Rhythm Section"( -75265), is worth the year it took to make.WE BELIEVE, after careful consideration, that "Another Man'sWoman" is the must play, must stock single from this album.WE BELIEVE you'll believe.

Greene Bottle is Formed Stax Ardent Robey and Busing

LOS ANGELES - CharlesGreene and Tony Martell haveannounced the formation ofGreene Bottle Records, Inc., anew Los Angeles -based labelthat will be distributed by Fa-mous Music Corporation.

Greene is President ofGreene Bottle and also is theproducer of some of its albums.

Greene Bottle will release 10albums during the next yearand plans to institute manynew forms of both marketingand production according toGreene. In announcing the for-mation of the label, Greene alsoannounced Greene Bottle'sstaff. Eli Bird has been namedVice -President and GeneralManager of Greene Bottle. Birdwas formerly with Liberty,'United Artists and worked ashead of both Sales and A&Rat different times for them.Jackson Howe is named A&RDirector for Greene Bottle.Formerly he was Ahmet Erte-gun's personal assistant at Atlantice Records. Jonne MarieSwitzler, formerly secretary toAl Bennet, is Executive Assist-ant to the President for GreeneBottle; in that capacity she issupervising general adminis-trative details and A&R affairs.

Linda Bell who previouslyworked for Atlantic is assistingSwitzler.

Martell, in his statement an-nouncing the deal with GreeneBottle stated, "Charles Greenehas produced some of thestrongest sellers in the historyof the record business, and Iam convinced by early reactionto his new albums in GreeneBottle, that the label will veryquickly be a powerful and fa-miliar name."

The first two Greene Bottlereleases are albums by Chesa-peake Jukebox Band and Can-dle; both are scheduled for to -lease the first week of April.

Said Greene, "We've beenlucky to assemble an executiveteam who couldn't care lessabout established musicaltrends. We look to the artistsfor direction and their imagi-nation sets the policy for thecompany. There is a need for asanctuary in the recording es-tablishment for talent and man-agement to work out new mu-sic, and new methods of bring-ing it to the consumers, wherethe atmosphere is free of con-servative pressure. Our rela-tionship with Famous Musichas occurred because they rec-ognize this need."

Wher you pick up a Goya 174 you've got morethan a handful of fine woods and strings. Youhave a superb musical instrument designed andhand-crafted to satisfy the most particular steelstring guitarist.You really don't need to know all about thedifferent cross struts, brackets andbracesinthesound chests that characterize each type ofguitar. But with a 174 you know h ese selectcomponents of the finest materials are pre-cisely brought together by old world crafts-men to produce your kind of music.It fol ows that your selection of a 174 isassurance that you will have a guitar toprovide a lifetime of musical pleasure. -

Only Goya puts as much in your 6tbsic a{'you do. Try one. You'll notice thedifference from feel to sound.

(Continued from page 3)in the industry today. What wehave in Ardent is not just alabel, produced by independentA&R men, but a fully developedrecording company, and a mostimpressive one.

"Ardent, in addition to hav-ing the most modern recordingcomplex in Memphis today,which includes not only thelatest in studio facilities, alsohas a complete internal staffof producers, writers, promo-tional and publicity, and execu-tive personnel. I frankly pre-dict that the gentlemen at Ard-ent will parallel in the popfield, what Stax has consistent-ly done on the R&B front. Andit is something that Memphishas solely missed for manyyears."

The Ardent deal was com-pleted between John Fry, Presi-dent of Ardent Recordings, Inc.,and Ardent Productions, Inc.,and Bell. Fry who formed Ard-ent in 1966 was one of the firstindependent studio owners inthe South to sell studio time toartists and companies on an"hourly basis."

Fry's Ardent Studios has at-tracted James Taylor, theStaple Singers, Booker T. andthe MG's, Isaac Hayes, LedZeppelin, Leon Russell, TonyJoe White and many others.His studio was the first inMemphis to use transistorizedequipment to include 8 and 16track facilities as well as aDolby noise reduction system.

Vice President of Ardent isTerry Manning, also an engi-neer and producer, whom Belldescribed as "a sheer creativegenius."

Several acts have alreadybeen signed and recorded byArdent, two of which are beingreadied for album product re-leases in March and April. Theyare Cargoe and Big Star.

"Our intention," said Fry, "isto be selective in the productionof pop music and reach forquality rather than quantity.We intend to build a solid com-pany, just as Stax has donethese many years. On the otherhand, we do not just intend toseek out fresh talent from theSouth. We will be scouting fortalent wherever we feel it canbe found."

Bell concluded, "Fry andManning are unquestionablytwo of the most talented in-dividuals I have known. Theircombined years of experienceat the console has given themexceptional insight into whatwill and will not appeal to the

Robey said he sentthe newly released disc to thePresident Friday morning afterwatching the Thursday eveningtelecast where Nixon called for amoratorium on this nationwidematter. "I am not interested ingetting caught up in the politics ofthis thing, and this is not an at-tempt to express a personal opin-ion but these boys have had firsthand knowledge of the busingproblem. They are sharing the ex-perience, and I feel our youthshould not only be served butheard, and most certainly Mr.Nixon should hear their side,"Robey said.

GOSPEL TIME

Irene JohnsonWare

By IRENE JOHNSON WARE

The Gospel Truth, a new arm of the StaxOrganization, has been formed under the di-rectorship of Dave Clark. The label, Clark says,"will carry the message of today's gospel tothe people on the street."

He stressed the fact that by couching tradi-tional gospel lyrics in the tempo and instru-mentation of today's rock music, the productbecomes real and valid, bridging the gap and

filling the need for meaningful communication.This "gospel -rock," as presented for instance by the Rance

Allen Group is true to its roots, yet presents sound pictures thatare as modern as next week. The instrumentation, harmonies andmusical structures are born of soul, rock and blues, but themessage is pure gospel.

Mrs. Mary P. Peak, Administrative Assistant to the Director,has strong feelings about what gospel music should be. "It's gotto be in today's musical language. The message won't mean any-thing if the people on the streets can't relate to it."

Clark and Mrs. Peak feel that gospel music is an integral partof our heritage, and the Stax Organization is conscious of itsresponsibility to bring the new gospel to a larger audience. Theirgoal is to keep the message strong and pure while adding to itspotency by presenting it within the framework of present-dayrock. It then becomes identifiable and important.

"After all, it really doesn't matter if you listen to gospelquietly, snap your fingers, pat your feet or sing along as long asyou get the message," Mrs. Peak said, and that is the GospelTruth.

The 16th Radio Anniversary of Bro. Esmond Patterson featur-ing the Pilgrim Jubilee Singers, two of the nation's greatestpreachers on the same program, Rev. W. Leo Daniels versus Rev.C. D. Daniels, "Brother versus Brother" introductions by Rev.Jasper Williams, the Loving Sister of Little Rock, Arkansas, At-lanta Christian Choir Link, Gospel Singers Missionary Chapter,Rev. Willie Gilmore in charge of the devotion was held at theCity Auditorium of Atlanta, Ga. Sunday, March 12. Bro. Pat-terson is employed by WAOK and is a salesman at Capitol Fur-niture Co.

"Bringin' in the Sheaves," Rev. Clay Evans and the FellowshipBaptist Church Choir b/w "Room at the Cross" and "If WallsCould Talk-Part 1 and 2"-Rev. Jasper Williams are the new-est single releases on Jewel. For copies write to Jewel, 728 TexasStreet, Shreveport, La. on station letterhead, enclosing the ad-dresses of your residence and place of employment.

Nashboro recently released 11 albums and among them an LPby the Gospel Classics of Detroit, Michigan. Included on thisLP is a selection entitled "Don't Let Hate Tear This WorldDown" and it really has a message. Give a listen. "Old Gray -Headed Lady," "I've Been Born Again" and "Walk Through theStreets of the City"' are also going very strong. "Nothing butGod's Word," Rev. Cleophus Robinson LP, "The Best of BrotherJoe May" LP, "The Best of the Consolers," "The Best of theSwanee Quintet," Isaac Douglas and the New York City Com-munity Choir, The Gospel Classics, "A Little Bit of Faith," ClaraWard and the Famous Ward Singers, "A Vision of Truth,""Harrison Johnson Los Angeles Community Choir is Here,""When Jesus Comes," Sister Josephine James, "If You Gainedthe Whole World," Isaac Douglas and the Isaac Douglas Singers,"My Sweet Lord" BC&M are other releases.

Tapes Healthy NEW YORK - Tom Bonetti,President of GRT Tapes, statedlast week in an interview withRecord World that "despitewhat some people have beensaying lately, the tape businessis very healthy."

Bonetti went on to empha-size that "because of Ampex'slosses, there is a general feel-ing that the tape business issick. There are question marksin people's minds today. A cou-ple of years ago people weremaking fantastic predictionsabout the future of tapes, andwhat was predicted didn't hap-pen. But the tape business isa healthy business. We've beenmaking a profit for six years,and we're anticipating furthergains in profits and sales forthe coming year. Our competi-tor's loss is related to theirproblems and not to the indus-

try in general. The softness ofthe retail market is not affect-ing tape as much as recordsales."

Bonetti based his optimismon GRT's latest financial re-port, which shows the tape di-vision profiting again for thesixth consecutive year, and ona number of special promotionshe and his field men are cur-rently engaged in. "We gearour promotions toward the carand portable market, becausethe vast majority of all tapesare sold for these uses. Ourcampaigns are all on -the -gopromotions. We also get to theconsumer where he buys hismachine, because a dispropor-tionate number of tapes arebought at or soon after the mo-ment of purchase of the ma-chine."

GRT presently handles tapesfor over 50 labels, includingABC / Dunhill, Chess / Janus,Duke / Peacock, MGM / Verve,and Roulette.

JAZZBy MICHAEL CUSCUNA

Prestige Records has undertaken a fine proj-ect in the release of 10 specially -priced doublerecords of some of the finest jazz in the Prestigeand Fantasy catalogs.

The most valuable sets are those by Theloni-ous Monk (PR 24006) and the Modern JazzQuartet (PR 24005) because they contain all ofthe music recorded by those artists for Prestige.

Michael Cuscuna Aside from the value of the music, one can nowhave a complete collection right at hand.

The Miles Davis package is a combination of his "Relaxin' " and"Cookin'" albums with the classic quintet of Miles, John Coltrane,Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. It is always atreat to rediscover such beautiful masterpieces. The Coltrane setI PR 24003) combines his "Traneing In" and "Soultrane" with thesame rhythm section. Included are some real gems, such as"I Want To Talk About You," "Theme For Ernie" and "SlowDance."

Charles Mingus' early quintet with George Barrow and MalWaldron recorded two albums for Fantasy Debut with guest artistMax Roach. They now comprise Prestige PR 24010 and includesuch important pieces as "Haitian Fight Song." The Charlie Parkervolume (PR 24009) is comprised of "Bird on 52nd Street" withMiles Davis and "Bird At St. Nick's" with Red Rodney from theFantasy catalog. The music is of high quality, though the fidelityis very poor.

The Mose Allison set (PR 24002) includes his "Local Color"and "Back Country Suite" albums which both have very fewvocals. Eric Dolphy's package (PR 24008) features his earliestalbums as a leader. "Outward Bound" and "Out There." "OutThere" features Ron Carter on cello and includes Mingus' "Eclipse"and Randy Weston's "Sketch of Melba." Dolphy is brilliant, evenin these early stages of his short-lived career.

The sets by Yusef Lateef (PR 24007) and Sonny Rollins (PR24005) combine tracks from many albums in the Prestige catalog.The Rollins set is unusually diverse, including the great tenorsaxophonist playing with the Max Roach -Clifford Brown Quintet,John Coltrane, The Modern Jazz Quartet, Thelonious Monk, TheRed Garland Trio and Kenny Dorham. His classic "St. Thomas"is included.

With the impressive jazz catalogs of Prestige, Fantasy & Vault,we should see a lot more.

A fine concert by Charles Mingus was presented at New York'sLincoln Center Philharmonic Hall on February 4. The speciallyassembled big band included such notables as Gerry Mulligan,Lee Konitz, Charles McPherson, Joe Chambers, Gene Ammons andLonnie Hillyer. Surprise guests James Moody, Randy Weston andDizzy Gillespie sat in. Despite some rough spots, the music wasbrilliant and included older Mingus music, material from his newColumbia album and some new compositions, premiered at thisconcert. Columbia recorded the proceedings and will release asingle or double album of the affair.

Also for Columbia, Weather Report (Joe Zawinul, WayneShorter, Miroslav Vitous, Eric Gravatt and Don Um Romao) arereadying two albums. The first will be a live date, done recentlyin Japan. Wayne and Joe are very excited about the music andfeel much of its success is due to the fact that the group did notknow that it was being recorded. Another album is being com-pleted in the New York studios for a fall release. The productionis more adventurous and includes voices, reed players and guitaron some cuts.

* * * * *

Lloyd McNeil is an interesting flutist from the Washington, D.C.area, who has released several albums on his own Asha label (1340Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20036). Asha One fea-tures his working quartet with added percussion. Asha Two is abeautiful duet between McNeil and bassist Mashall Hawkins, per-forming a four-part suite entitled "Tannen." Asha Three featuresMcNeil's quartet with a woodwind quintet, playing a compositionthat he wrote for the Capital Ballet Company: "Washington Suite."

Although McNeil is not known outside the Washington area, heis well worth checking into.

LighthouseCampaignsMuscular Dystrophy A campaign to help the Mus-cular Dystrophy Associationsof America reach a wider con-temporary youth audience in itseducational and fund-raisingprograms was announced re-cently by executives of MDAAand Evolution/Stereo Dimen-sion Records.

MDAA has chosen Light-house as their spokesmen toappeal to a contemporary groupin the college -young -marriedage bracket (18 through 28years).

The plan features a specialpromotional campaign byLighthouse, the label's 11 -mem-ber rock group, who have justcompleted a tour of over 20large college campuses in theU.S.

They have now switched toa program of live concerts inmany of the country's majormarkets including Cleveland,Atlanta, Miami, Buffalo, Roch-ester, Boston, Los Angeles, SanFrancisco and Denver.

The orchestra will be wel-comed at airports in these cit-ies by MDAA branch staffpress, photographers, and theMDAA local poster child. Ra-dio and TV interviews are be-ing arranged in each area withspokesmen of Lighthousespeaking on behalf of MDAA.

The Boston concert is beingarranged as a benefit with100% of the proceeds being do-nated by Skip Prokop to JerryLewis on the 1972 telethon inwhich the orchestra will alsoperform.

Another segment of this cam-paign will be the national air-ing of a special one -hour radioprogram derived from Light-house's recent concert at Car-negie Hall. The concert wasrecorded, remixed, and editeddown to a one -hour programby the group's producer, JimmyIenner. This "Live From Car-negie Hall" tape will soon bebroadcast in more than 50 ma-jor cities, and a similar num-ber of college campuses, allthrough the backing of a ma-jor national sponsor and underthe auspices of the MuscularDystrophy Associations. Sta-tions are now being approachedand time segments blocked out.Open time slots will also bemade available for local spon-sorship in each market.

Arrangements for sponsor-ship and actual time buys arebeing handled by executives ofCampus Media in conjunctionwith MDAA and Evolution/Stereo Dimension.

LONDON-Sadly, Britain's first ever rock music center, theRainbow Theatre, has closed, a result of severe financial difficul-ties. The company responsible for the Rainbow, Sundancer, wentinto liquidation last week after chairman, John Morris an-nounced that their debts were than they could cope with. Invest-ors in the company include SMI and AIR, London and theproject was welcomed by the music business with open armswhen plans were announced late last year. Since its openingNovember 4 several top name acts appeared including The Who,Humble Pie, the Faces, the Roy Young Band, as well as severalvisiting American rock groups. The Doors and the Beachboyswere set to play there in the near future and alternative venuesare now being sought.

Feldman's general manager, Ronnie Beck treated me to a pre-view of the new Jeff Beck album, as yet entitled, but due forStateside issue April 4 with UK release following a few weekslater. Although his first album for Epic, "Rough and Ready,"was generally well -accepted, this new package must be consid-ered a vast improvement, mainly due to Steve Cropper's superbproduction. Favorite tracks include Beck's own "Definitely May-be," (possible title for the album), and "Sugar Cane," writtenin collaboration with Cropper. Ronnie Beck, who recently ap-pointed former A&M promotion manager Kenny Barker as Feld -man's professional manager, also gave me a taste of the newWishbone Ash album, their third for MCA, released next month,and Beck also reported two new signings, Warhorse, whoseVertigo album is also issued shortly, and Machinehead, whoare currently completing their first LP.

Radio Luxembourg is planning to present its first ever livebroadcast. A two hour performance by the Beachboys will betransmitted live from the concert hall of the Villa LouvingnyMay 10. The show will be emceed by regular Lux dj, Paul Burnettand will be broadcast between 10 pm and midnight. Alan Keen,general manager of Radio Luxembourg's British service, alsospoke recently of a similar show featuring the Grateful DeadMay 16, this one to be emceed by Kid Jensen, and he confirmedthat these live broadcasts could well be a regular event in thefuture. Keen, commenting on the general success of the station,reported that this year's gross income had already equalledthe total for 1971.

CAMPUS REPORTStation Happenings

By GARY K. COHEN WAYN/Wayne State Univer-sity in Detroit, reports somestation discussion on "why dopeople listen to radiO?" Amongthe reasons given are compan-ionship, nothing better to do,for background, for informa-tion, and for education. Re-gardless of format, says StationMusic Director Rob Wunder-lich, there must be a way fora station to relate to its listen-ers. Programming peopleshould ask themselves howtheir station relates to its lis-teners. Whatever you do on theair should relate some way toyour listeners. On the subjectof oldies, many people relateto an oldie as a time periodinstead of as a record. In otherwords, Van Morrison's "BrownEyed Girl" is identified as"Summer '67 and what was Idoing then." Wunderlich's con-clusion is that you have to payclose attention to everythingthat goes on the air.

WVBR-FM of Cornell spon-sored a 19 -hour marathon forAlpha House, the local drug re-habilitation center. The 9 a.m.marathon pre-empted all regu-lar programming, and guestdj's at the station included theMayor of Ithaca, the Presidentof Ithaca College, various pro-fessors, and Robert Earle (fromCollege Bowl). The station gaveaway records to raise money,and collected over $4100 inpledges. The station's Commun-ity Affairs Director (and for-mer Program Director) GeorgeHiller, incidentally, is teachinga course in the History of Rockand Roll in a local Ithaca Jun-ior High School.

WRCT of Carnegie-MellonUniversity in Pittsburgh willbe broadcasting live the annualstudent Spring Carnival. TheCarnival, held on CMU's cam-pus, is a gala festival spon-sored by the local Fraternities.WRCT will be trading out airtime for albums from recordcompanies, and if you are in-terested, contact Brad Simon,Music Director.

At the press meeting, Knightread a lengthy statement inrounded, grave tones and de-clared in a short question -and -answer period that he was notonly fighting for his rights butwas also "fighting for one ofthe greatest contributions tothe youth of the world."

Eastman found no occasion toaddress the press, nor didanyone at Capitol (who dis-tribute all GFR product underan interesting agreement thathas meant the establishing ofan honorary but not independ-ent label) have anything to say.

The following is Knight'scomplete remarks:

"After having devoted thebetter part of the last threeyears of my life to the creation,development, promotion and di-rection of the world renownedrock group known as GrandFunk Railroad, I was shockedto learn from indirect and un-official sources that anotherman was alleging to personsand firms with whom we havecontractual and other relation-ships, that he was the sole andexclusive representative of thegroup known as Grand FunkRailroad.

"These shocking and unbe-lievable statements came butfive days following a meetingand dinner in my home withthe members of the group atwhich time nothing was saidwhatsoever relating to anysuch other individual being in-volved in the group's profes-sional affairs.

"Further, the group's attor-ney, Howard N. Beldock, of thefirm of Beldock, Kushnick &Bushkin, representing GFR En-terprises, Ltd. had held numer-ous discussions both in the offi-ces of GFR Enterprises, Ltd.in New York and with the in-dividuals in their own homesin Michigan. No such state-ments were supported, nor ref-erences made to any third partyentering into our mutual busi-ness relationships.

"On Monday afternoon,March 13th, I received a callfrom the assistant manager ofthe Chase Manhattan Bank ad-vising me that a man had justleft his office after attemptingto change the signatures ofthose empowered to withdrawfunds from the GFR Enter-prises, Ltd. account which isthe direct recipient of all mon-ies from concerts performed byGrand Funk Railroad.

"The man was identified tome at that time as a John L.Eastman, a partner in the firmof Eastman & Eastman, who isknown to be the representativeand professional advisor tovarious individuals in the en-tertainment field includingPaul McCartney and who isknown to have directly repre-sented Mr. McCartney in thenow historic split both asthet-ically and financially amongthe individuals known as theBeatles and who successfullymanaged to place the financialempire known as Beatles & Co.into financial receivership.

"I immediately placed a tele-phone call to the secretary ofGFR Enterprises, Ltd., DonaldBrewer, who is a member ofGrand Funk Railroad. He in-formed me at that time thatJohn L. Eastman had been au-thorized to act as attorney onhis individual behalf.

"Mr. Brewer also stressedthat Mr. Eastman had been re-tained to act as attorney in hisindividual behalf in matters re-lating strictly to Mr. Brewer'sindividual participation inbusiness matters, which alsoincluded his activities as a per-former with Grand Funk Rail-road.

"A subsequent meeting washeld at Mr. Eastman's officewith Mr. Beldock and myselfin attendance. It was at thatmeeting that Mr. Eastman al-leged that he was indeed com-plying with the wishes of hisclient in strictly an investiga-tory manner in the personalaffairs of Mr. Brewer.

"It was at this meeting thatI first learned that Mr. East-man represented himself also tobe attorney -in -fact for theother individuals of the group,Mark Farner and Melvin Scha-cher. I received no substantia-tion of that allegation from anyof the members of Grand FunkRailroad until yesterday morn-ing, five days after our meet-ing, at which time I receiveda letter signed by the membersof Grand Funk Railroad to theeffect that John L. Eastman ofEastman & Eastman was to actin their behalf and that I wasno longer to represent or actas a manager or representativeof the group.

"I was further advised thatany and all agreements includ-ing management, recording orotherwise were 'terminated.'

"There was not then nor hasthere ever been a single wordspoken in explanation of thisoutrageous, unfounded and in-excusable attempt to stifle mycareer.

"Additionally, this obviouslyguided scheme to recklesslywalk away from contractual re-sponsibilities and obligations

unquestionably damages my re-lationship with other partieswith whom agreements havebeen made with the full knowl-edge and direction and consentof the members of Grand FunkRailroad. Failure to fulfillthese obligations could ulti-mately result in legal proceed-ings with disastrous financialconsequences, the scope ofwhich cannot be imagined.

"Specific examples are nowexisting contracts calling foradditional record albums andtapes by Grand Funk Railroadto be released and distributedby Capitol Records, Inc. in theUS and Canada and EMIOrganization in every freecountry in the world.

"Further, there are now ex-isting contracts as authorizedby Grand Funk Railroad foran unprecedented one weeklong engagement at MadisonSquare Garden in June of thisyear-less than three monthsfrom now.

"In the light of these circum-stances I have taken the follow-ing courses of action: (a) Fordeliberate, wrongful and ma-licious interference with thecontractual relationships whichexist between Grand Funk Rail-road and myself and for induc-ing, persuading and enticingthe members of Grand FunkRailroad and the Board of Di-rectors of GFR Enterprises,Ltd. to violate and breach thoseagreements, I have served uponJohn L. Eastman, individuallyand as a partner in the firm ofEastman & Eastman, a law suitseeking punitive damages inthe sum of five million dol-lars. (b) Against the individ-uals, Mark Farner, Don Brewerand Mel Schacher and thegroup Grand Funk Railroad, Ihave initiated arbitration pro-ceedings before the AmericanArbitration Association in NewYork City seeking to enjointhem from further breach ofcontract. (c) I have called foradditional record albums to beprovided the public within thenext 30 days, despite theiropen refusal to pursue theircontractual obligations to thateffect.

"In closing I wish to pointout that I have specifically re-frained from seeking punitivedamages in any amount at thistime from Grand Funk Rail-road. I simply cannot believethat a career which has in lessthan three years taken threeyoung men from obscurity inFlint, Michigan to the highestpinnacle in the entertainmentindustry could be so deliber-ately divided both aestheticallyand financially.

"Accordingly, I have takenappropriate steps to stop thisoutrage."

The first album from JimmyMiller Productions released bythe label features composer -performer Bobby Whitlock, one-time member of Derek and theDominoes.

Lasker negotiated the con-tract with Miller and his pro-duction company partner,George Greif.

Miller, a native of New York,studied law at the Universityof Miami before embarking up-on a career in entertainment,first as a singer. He was undercontract briefly to ColumbiaRecords and during the 1963-66period moved into songwritingand independent production.

He was invited to Englandfor the first time in 1966 byChris Blackwell, director of Is-land Records, to produce theSpencer Davis group. "GimmeSome Lovin' " was the first hitfor both Miller and the act.

He ultimately produced prod-uct for the entire Island rosterand, in 1967, became producerfor the Rolling Stones.



Retailers onDiscrete Disc(Continued from. page 3)

Dave Rothfeld, Korvettes:"I'm involved with both recordsand hardware. I'm enthusiasticabout quad; I feel it could helpstimulate sales for both equip-ment and records. My concernis that we do not have a battlehere. We're selling SQ quitewell, and naturally we'll sellRCA's discrete system. We'llwatch the development of theRCA system with an openmind."

Stuart Schwartz, HarmonyHuts: "I don't believe that thevarious forms of quad hard-ware will have much of a mar-ket until there's more software.Any step towards quad recordsis important, and the RCA

pricing will help to encourageit. The consumer is in a toughspot, but we'll carry a wideand representative selection ofthat product."

Howard Goody, Sam Goody:"We're currently selling theSQ discs, though not in greatquantities. We're not selling alot of quad equipment, and I'mnot sure if it will be a big thingor not. But of course we'll stockthe RCA discs and see whathappens."

Spokesman for Record Centerchain: "I think it's very goodthat RCA is keeping the pricethe same. It's a burn that theother companies are a dollarhigher. We want to stock allthe quad product we can."

Ben Karol, King Karol: "Thefact that RCA's discrete disccosts the same as stereo iscommendable and will make

Dialogue: Mary Travers, Liberated Lady(Continued from page 8)

On a gripe: "Quality control on records today is an abomina-tion. An abomination. There just aren't adequate ways to checkpressing. Columbia Pressing presses more records than anyoneelse these days, right? Then why does a record come back andwhen the arm drops, does it drop into the middle of the first band?Emiss. The truth. And that's not the worst. Why, if you buy threerecords made at three different pressing plants, do you get threedifferent sounds? Here is an artist who puts out lots of money toget a record done properly to establish a reputation only to haveit possibly destroyed at the last step. It could make you cuckoo.It's not enough to be an artist. You have to track it down to thepressing plant. I record over at A&R, and I'd rather have themcheck my records than Warner Bros. It's a subtle difference, buta difference. A&R wants my business. Warner Bros. is a companyfor whom I work. The English will tell you that the reason theirrecords are better, and they are, is that they care. I've seen Eng-lish crews go and watch what they shoot on television series.People in the states have a lackadaisical attitude. An edge ismissing-often-here. If I have a gripe, it's that we're becominga country of amateurs.

On why she sings: "I sing to re -define the questions and notnecessarily to answer them. You have to keep re -defining thequestions. It's how you ask them that becomes the art form? "Whyis war?" You already don't hear me when I ask that question,because it is already a cliche. I have to find a new way to ask itso that you'll listen. Keep feeling. If I don't continue asking thequestions, I go under? That's the answer to why I didn't retirewhen Peter, Paul and Mary did. The artist has to ask the ques-tion. The artist has to keep finding ways to be vulnerable. Theaudience wants to be asked and they're right. We want, whenwe're alive, to feel alive.

On Peter, Paul and Mary: Peter was the leader of the group.He was the organizer. It seemed to be one of his needs to acceptresponsibility. Just as mine was, I guess, not to accept it. Paulhad his own kind of genius, and it had nothing to do with hissongwriting. He was the perfect third. I don't mean that in adeprecatory way at all. Sometimes when you have two people pull-ing in opposite directions, and I suppose Peter and I did once ina while, it's important to have a bonding factor, and Paul wasthat. I always felt if he wasn't such a talented musician, he couldhave become a diplomat. The group ended because of Paul, youknow. He got very much into religion, and suddenly the group'sethos didn't coincide with his. I'll tell you one thing about beingin a group. If you win, you win together. And yet you're still onyour own. You learn to be an existentialist fast.

On today: "I'm having a fantastic time because I'm riskingmore. I'm asking more than I ever have of myself. I'm grateful inretrospect to something that seemed a disaster when it occurred."

(Editor's note: Miss Travers, who was scheduled to begin alengthy tour in the middle of April-Carnegie Hall, one of thedates-has had to postpone the dates because of an emergencytonsillectomy performed last week.)

RECORD WELD COUNTRYDripping Springs ReunionBest -Kept Secret in Texas Port 1

By CHUCK NEESE

DRIPPING SPRINGS,TEXAS-The idea was a greatone: An outdoor three-daycountry music festival. The tal-ent line up was superb. Every-body from Roy Acuff to KrisKristofferson. The facilitieswere probably the best ever de-signed for an outdoor fest. Butthere was one shortcoming; thepromoters forgot to tell thepublic about the show.

Financially the venture wasa complete flop. But the idea be-hind the show is still valid. Acountry music extravaganza,properly promoted, will makemoney. The five or six youngmen who conceived the Drip-ping Springs Reunion had agood thing, going, but their in-ability to promote the show be-came apparent during the twoweeks preceding the March 16,17 and 18 engagement.

The promotion drew only 15,-000 maximum to a show thatshould have drawn one hundredthousand for the three-dayevent. The site, 20 miles out-side of Austin, was geographic-ally perfect, the weather wasbeautiful, the sound system wassomething to write home aboutand the talent line-up has neverbeen equaled in the annals ofcountry music promotion. Butunless fans know about a pro-motion of this type well in ad-vance, and unless the promo-tion of the show is on a nationalscale, little can be expectedfrom gate receipts, as witnessedat D.S.R.

Bad for TalentOne of the sad results of

Dripping Springs may be athrow off on the talent. Fact islesser packages of the samecollection of talent have drawnmore people to a one-night performance than the promoters of

this show were able to attractin three days. No, it wasn't thetalent, it wasn't the location, itwasn't the facilities. The lackof success of the DrippingSprings Reunion must be laidon the shoulders of the youngmen who conceived it; theysimply overlooked three veryimportant aspects-Advertise-Advertise and Advertise somemore.

Ticket pricing and seasonalso affected results. Ticketsran $10 per day in a marketthat could have stood no morethan a six -dollar ticket. Theweather was beautiful, butschool wasn't out until Juneand country music is a familyaffair.

Part two next week.

O.B. isn't one of those guys who decided one day toput on a cowboy hat and record an album of countrymusic in the middle of New York City. He's been sing-ing and playing country music all his life. And hisalbum was recorded in Nashville because that's wherethey know what country music is all about. His firstalbum, produced by Jim Malloy,. features the likes ofWeldon Myrick and Buddy Spicher. And songs writtenby almost everyone who's anyone in country music.In short, O.B. is the real McCoy. Or more accurately;the real McClinton.ENS -1023
