Jazz
STAN GETZ: SWEET RAIN (Verve). Back in a jazz bag after his long flirtation with bossa nova, Getz produces a superb album filled with lung power and lyricism. The notes sparkle when he cuts his tenor sax loose on Litha and Con Alma. Then, for a change of pace; he plays Sweet Rain with almost melancholy introspection, while Pianist Chick Corea, Bassist Ron Carter and Drummer Grady Tate add to the tune's dreamlike mistiness with soft splashes of dissonance.
BUDDY RICH: BIG SWING FACE (Pacific Jazz). Drummers have revered Rich ever since his first incarnation with the top bands in the swing era of the '30s and '40s. Now with his own big band, he comes through with percolating performances of such pop hits as Norwegian Wood and Wack Wack, rousing versions of Love for Sale and Bugle Call Rag, and a big bluesy beat on Big Swing Face. In The Beat Goes On, Buddy's daughter Cathy, 12, makes her singing debut with a surprisingly mature voice.
ROGER KELLAWAY: SPIRIT FEEL (Pacific Jazz). The word for Jazz Pianist Roger Kellaway is virtuoso: he can ripple off brilliant arpeggios at breakneck speed or gently slide through a velvet-glove rendition of a ballad. In this album, Roger is mostly in a ripping good humor. His wit and dazzling technique are apparent in the cascades of notes that shower from the keyboard and the rollicking patterns he plays behind Tom Scott's saxophone. His skills are all the more remarkable considering that the tunes' meters include such oddities as 11/8 and 7/4 and some of the backgrounds are composed of electronic sounds and eerie voices.
LOU DONALDSON: ALLIGATOR BOGALOO (Blue Note). Sinuously rhythmic, this music evokes an exotic serpentine dance. Donaldson's alto sax undulates through the murky riding tones of the organ and guitar that accompany him, while the drums keep perking and poking. Aw Shucks! and One Cylinder are tortuously slow-weaving, while the title tune is a blend of jazz and rhythm-and-blues that rocks infectiously along.
THE TOTAL J. J. JOHNSON (RCA Victor). Trombonist Johnson, who plays and conducts all the tunes on this record, is also the composer and arranger. The band, braced by such artful performers as Flugelhornist Art Farmer, Tenor Saxophonist Jerome Richardson and Pianist Hank Jones, responds smartly to Johnson's call to attention. Say When and Little Dave are swinging showcases for JJ.'s artistry, while Space Walk has an indolent, understated rhythm.
HANK MOBLEY: A CADDY FOR DADDY (Blue Note). Tenor Saxman Mobley steers his sextet straight down the highway of rock-jazz in the title tune Caddy, neatly shifts gears into a lightning bit of avant-garde artistry in Third Time Around and brakes deftly for a humorous and unpredictable detour in Venus Di Mildew. Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass and Drummer Billy Higgins help lank produce a hard-hitting sound for hose who like music with a powerful pulse.
