VOLUME I, NUMBER 22

MONTREUX:

by Herb Boyd

s the various jazz concert series sound their final notes of the season, it is launching time for the annual jazz festivals. And the newest jamboree on the block, making its second appearance, is the Montreux-Detroit International Jazz Festival, which in terms of sheer size and the caliber of artists is the festival in the city.

In fact, any discussion of local jazz festivals at all begins and ends with the Montreux-Detroit affair. For several years now, the Kool Jazz Festival has been reasonably successful, but its usual list of performers and this year's line-up is no exception falls well outside of all but the widest of jazz definitions. Even when compared with other major jazz festivals held abroad or in New York or Chicago, Montreux-Detroit is capable of holding its own.

This year s festival promises to be even more exciting with such luminaries as sassy Sarah Vaughan, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Betty Carter, Archie Shepp, Marian MacPartland, Earl (Fatha) Hines, Marcus Belgrave and Donald Byrd, scheduled to headline some of the 26 ticketed events. The free concerts, beginning Friday, will feature Jukka Linkola Octet from Finland, Griot Galaxy, the Norma Jean Bell All Stars, a McKinney family reunion, Kenn Cox and the Guerilla Jam Band, Chet Bogan s Wolverine Jazz Band and many other outstanding local musicians, including a fine sampling of area high school bands and practically every college and university band in the state.

Featuring more than 800 musicians in some 82 concerts, Montreux will have musicians coming in from all over the world Alexander Zonjic and Moe Koffman (Canada); Cleo Lame (England); Hugh Masakela (South Africa): Andreas Vollenweider (Switzerland); and Monty Alexander (Jamaica). There will be jazz offerings for the diehard purists and for those caught in the throes of Norma

fusion. For blues lovers, theres Eddie Burns and Little Sonny. And if you like your jazz in a traditional vem, the well-traveled Preservation Hall Jazz Band will be tailgatin af the Music Hall. For those who prefer their jazz while dancing, J. C. Heard s Dance Review should prove to be a hoofer's delight.

Though the meat of the festival will still be centered mainly at the Detroit Plaza Hotel and the Music Hall, additional sites have been selected, and alter an absence of many years, something other than the fluttering of pigeon wings will be heard at Grand Circus Park. The presence of local musicians will also have a greater visibility. The Montreux program committee has apparently given some attention to a nagging criticism of last year s festival.

Promotional efforts and advertising have also been vastly improved. As the media splash for the event begins, Montreux-Detroit looms on badges, posters, I-shirts and TV. You can hear about it on the radio and on the street and read about it in nearly every piece of printed matter worth the ink. There is even a commemorative album from Stroh s and CBS Records available that features two local standouts from the first festival, Lyman Woodard and Larry Nozero (see Record Reviews). Nozero, for the second year in a row, represented Detroit at this year s Montreux festival in Geneva, Switzerland.

But the most rewarding pre Festival promo may have been the WDIV-TV sponsored Go 4 Jazz concert series. The three concerts, held in mid-August, drew nearly 3,000 fans. This is a solid indication that before the festival week has run its course, 750,000 will be exposed to the sound of Montreux-Detroit. Weather permitting.

Whatever the overall turnout, one thing is certain: Mentreux has found a home in Detroit. And plans are probably already underway for next years affair, In the long run, and of greater significance, Montreux. Detroit may be that exquisite centerpiece in the cilys scheme to attract more tourists. Montreux-Detroit II? Two weeks next time? Ah, mon amis, it is a fait accompli. a

Detroit Metro Times would like to share the following letter with our readers.

Dated Oct. 20, 1980, it was written on Reagan/Bush campaign stationery and addressed to Robert E. Poli, President of _the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization. It was signed by presidential-hopeful Ronald Reagan.

Dear Mr. Poli: have been thoroughly briefed by members of my staff as to the deplorable state of our nation s air traffic control system. They have told me that too few people working unreasonable hours with obsolete equipment has placed the nation s air travellers in unwarranted danger. In an area so clearly related to public safety the Carter administration has failed to act responsibly.

You can rest assured that if am elected President, will take whatever steps are necessary to provide our air traffic controllers with the most modern equipment available and to adjust staff levels and work days so that they are commensurate with achieving a maximum degree of public safety.

As in all other areas of the federal government where the President has the power of appointment, fully intend to

Dialogue is a regular feature of Detroit Metro Times and is intended to offer a forum for opinions on a diverse range of subjects of importance to Detroit-area readers. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the paper or staff.

by The Gay Pride Day Coalition

T welve years ago, New York City

police officers.stormed the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, in what they thought would be a routine raid. This time, though, they were wrong: the gay community, weary of police harassment, fought back, and for three days battles raged in the streets of the Village. For many, this marked the beginning of the gay liberation movement.

Now, in many American cities, gay men and lesbians are comfortable expressing affection in public, not hiding their sexuality at work, and fighting for the civil rights that have been historically denied to them. They commemorate the Stonewall battle each June with a Gay Pride Celebration. But all this means little to the gay person in Detroit who has yet to become liberated.

This is a tough city to be Black, working class, Jewish, Arab or female in. It s even tougher to be gay here. Jobs are hard to find, and many people fear they'll be fired if they come out of the closet. Women are taught from childhood on that the only way to make it in this city is to latch onto a man. Housing and employment discrimination against gays is as openly practiced as it was against Blacks in the fifties.

And with the moralistic ? New Right ascending to power, the few rights that have been given to homosexuals are being taken away. Congress has already passed a bill denying legal services protection to any poor person in a homosexualityrelated case. That means that if a husband sues his indigent ex-wife for custody of their child claiming that she s a lesbian, she is not entitled to protection and defense by a public attorney.

Even more threatening is the proposed Family Protection Act, now in committee in Congress. Among its many provisions is one denying federal funding to any person, group or company that advocates homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle.

That means no food stamps, social security or student loans for gay people or heterosexuals who fight for gay rights.

It means.no tax-exempt status for any organization that works for the rights of all oppressed people. It gives companies an incentive to discriminate against lesbians and gay men in their hiring practices.

The bill even méans no federal funding for a school district that teaches in its sex education classes that homosexuality might not be a sin. The implications are far reaching for the homosexual, who stands to lose even the right to free speech.

Violence against the gay community, including raids and attacks by police, has been on the upswing. In Toronto last February, a gay bathhouse was raided and 250 men arrested. Since then, police in that city have been systematically raiding gay men s establishments. Here in Detroit, gay men walking in and near Palmer Park, a meeting place for gays, have increasingly been victimized by muggers who find them easy prey.

These increasing threats to area gay | people have prompted work on a Gay Pride Day celebration, set for September 12. Encouraged by the success of Gay Pride Week in Ann Arbor, during which 350 people rallied downtown and 1,500 people attended special events, a coalition ef individual groups has been working to develop a program that will meet the needs of the gay community.

Workshops from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at- Wayne State University s Student Center will explore both personal and political issues. The topics will range from Gay Spirituality and Coming Out/Gay Relating to Fighting the Right Wing and Racism and the Gay Community. There will be workshops on revolutionary strategies for gay liberation, on gay parents and parents of gays, and on gay life in Mexico, as well as a number of other topics including Judaism and gays, gay youth and the Michigan Organization for Human Rights (MOHR).

At 4:30 there will be a rally at Palmer Park, with speakers from the endorsing organizations, musicians and other entertainers and an open microphone at the end. Gay Pride Day 81 will end with a party at the Aruba, Seven Mile Road and John R, from 8 p.m. on.

Former Mayor Cites poor

What is certain is that with the Reagan administration s move to decentralize and weaken legislation related to fair housing, there will be less and less government intervention in situations like this one.

by Kevin Fobbs

-orothy Conrad, former D mayor of Birmingham, testified this week that fear of minority residents was the prime factor in that city s rejection of a plan for subsidized housing for elderly and low-income families in 1978. Her statements were made in the second week of a civil suit being heard in federal district court in Detroit in which the city of Birmingham is being accused by the Justice Department of violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

The suit, which is being heard found. deficit.

before Judge Robert E. DeMascio was filed against the city of Birmingham in March of 1980. If the Justice Department is successful, the city will be forced to provide low-income housing at some future date. According to Brian Heffernan, a U.S. Attorney who is assisting Denise Field on the trial, We haven t determined how many witnesses we will call, so its hard to say how long the trial may last.

What Heffernan and Field are contending is that the rejection of the housing proposal by city voters in April of 1978, the recall of the mayor and six city commissioners who supported the housing proposal, and the failure of the new city administration to pursue a solution by allowing the

application with Baldwin House Corporation to lapse is evidence of racial discrimination. Because this was facially motivated, contends the Justice Department, the city violated the Fair Housing Act. which prohibits discrimination in housing based upon race, sex, religion or national origin.

William Saxton, an attorney who is defending Birmingham in this case, feels the city has made sincere efforts towards open anv. fair housing. Birmingham became one of the first communities in the country to pass a fair housing ordinance of its own, claims Saxton.

Regardless of the intentions of this effort, most observers agree it hasn t worked very well. Out of 26,000 residents, the city has a Black population of less than 50.

In 1978, at the height of the housing controversy, out of 7,000-plus housing units in the city, only eight were occupied by Black families.

Racism is not an issue here, Saxton told Detroit Metro Times. The problem was not whether the city wanted the housing or who should be in it, but the type of housing that should be available.

It is my understanding that the city has made further studies into the possibility of having senior citizen and low-income family housing.

Conrad, who was the subject of a successful recall campaign during the municipal controversy, disputes Saxton s contentions. She testified that the question of minority goals and quotas came up many times in the. context of

the housing debate, and that concern was expressed about such things as property values and how the project would change the community.

And I was told repeatedly that people were circulating the recall petition because they wanted to keep the niggers out of keep the niggers out of Birmingham, Conrad testified. The project was defeated in a special was. defeated. in a *special referendum vote in April of 1978, and she and six council members were recalled for supporting the project in May.

Whether or not there was indeed discrimination in the city of Birmingham s conduct during the period is what Judge DeMascio, or perhaps the Supreme Court, may eventually decide. What is certain is that with the Reagan administration s move to decentralize and weaken legislation related to fair housing, there will be less and less government intervention in situations like this one. Saxton agrees with the Reagan policy. Communities, not the federal government, should determine what is best for them. :

Conrad disagrees: If we take this issue a step further and go the route of having each community being allowed to vote on whether or not people will be allowed to receive help or aid, then we re in trouble. Anybody who needs help is in trouble, warned Conrad. @

A their concerns about racism, increased militarism or big business to the streets of Detroit during the last six months have found themselves abruptly in the hands of the police and later churning through the processes of Detroit s Traffic Court.

The protestors, who range from Detroit Catholics concerned about nuclear war to members of the International Committee Against Racism, are most frequently charged with distributing circulars within 300 feet of a school or with disorderly conduct. However, irregularities in the application of these city ordinances prompted Wayne County Legal Services law intern David Cripps to write that the school ordinance was unduly vague, serving as a vehicle for arrest for those exercising protected First Amendment rights. The arrests act as an attack upon ideas, he wrote for the National Lawyers Guild.

Seven members of the Detroit Peace Community, a Christian group which opposes the pursuit of profit when it leads to exploitation and war, were arrested last May when the Secretary of the Navy came to. Detroit. Among them were a Dominican nun and a Methodist minister.

On the morning of May 18, two of the women who held up a banner warning Murray-Wright High School students that joining the Navy meant meeting people and killing them were taken to jail. Later in the day, five members of the Christian peace community tried to deliver the same message to the Detroit Economic Club where the Navy Secretary was also speaking. Two of them were booked, fingerprinted and charged with creating a disturbance.

I think anytime you say something that people don t want to hear, its provocative, Deb McEvoy, who works at the Catholic Worker Soup Kitchen, explained after the Cobo Hall - arrests. But as Chnistians, think, we are morally compelled to speak out as loudly as we can. There are certain things (like nuclear weapons preparation) that are so outrageous we have become numb to them. Civil disobedience is a way of shouting. Even more than that, its like a very deep kind of prayer.

Protesting at the Economic Club s $9-a-seat luncheon was relatively simple. McEvoy andfour friends bought tickets, ate lunch and then, as the Navy Secretary began to speak, stood up unfurling banners that said No to an economy of death and calling the launching of the Corpus Christi nuclear submarine blasphemy. As members of the audience tore down the banners, Peter Weber read a leaflet they had come to distribute.

Dear friends, Weber read, we have come for a specific reason to interrupt talk as usual, business as usual. As Christians, we believe that nuclear war is an assault on our humanity, upon creation and

Shamo faced Bill Kellerman, a ee Methodist minister, and Joel Nigg ee (after their Cobo Hall arrests), as well as Sister Rose Steitz and Mary Girard, who were still wearing the white face and spectre of death costumes they had worn outside the high school.

Despite the women s costumes, it was the judge who contributed the circus atmosphere. Shamo disregarded a referee's recommendation that the women either pay $50 or spend five days in jail. Instead, he sentenced them to pay $550 or stay in jail 50 days. The judge reportedly told their counsel that they were as dangerous to students as drug pushers.

When two visitors moved to leave the courtroom and silently. waved goodbye to the four protestors, Shamo held them in contempt of court for communicating with the prisoners and sentenced them to 10 days injail. A friend ofthe women, who jumped to her feet and told the judge he was in contempt of humanity, received a 30-day sentence. These arrests and those ofthree other Catholics who poured blood on themselves outside the Federal Building to call attention to the bloodshed in El Salvador and the imminent military draft in this country, are not isolated events. Other recent arrests often characterized by unusually high bail, confiscated materials and police officers who fail to appear for the trial, have included 17 Z people involved in the Poletown struggle agd efforts to stop the demolition of the Immaculate Conception Church, 15 people in recent anti-Nazi demonstrations and scores of others for selling newspapers, buttons and posting anti-war leaflets. @

The general attitude is akin to So what? Even some of the musicians who are slated to perform, speak of Montreux as just another gig. The remarks, however, are not always so tame and blase. Guitarist A. Spencer Barefield, who heads the Creative Arts Collective, and who will be performing at Montreux, voices a strong concern about the festival and its import: Montreux is _ typically American. White-controlled, anti-art and exploitative. Its like an invader that comes in and rips off your culture and material resources and then splits. As far as I m concerned, its the same old imperialism at work.

Barefield was also peeved at the deplorable absence of avant-garde

music. Besides my group and Griot Galaxy, the festival has no New Music on the agenda. That s totally absurd, his indictment continued, but what can you expect from people who know so little about this art form. His anger was not unique among the musicians questioned. Earlier, Fields had expressed a similar feeling about racism. Fields directed his remarks to the Montreux program committee. Somebody ought to check out the system of evaluation being used to decide what group does what. What criteria is used, for example, to determine who plays at Montreux? Whose decision was it to. put Larry Nozero and Lyman Woodard on the Montreux record?

Racism is everywhere, just like its

always been. mailed all kinds of material to Montreux and haven't heard from them yet, Fields continued. Racism is at Montreux and all over the city.

Four of the artists appearing on this album Detroiters Lyman Woodard and Larry Nozero, leading their own groups, plus the Heath Brothers and Ramsey Lewis were headliners at the first 1980 Montreux/Detroit festival. The six other groups included in the repertoire are in every case question about the number of people in the club, well, there has been a smaller audience in the last week or two. I m not sure why.

The hustle for gigs and their scarcity, the diminishing size of audiences and the meager pay are apparently issues of more pertinency and immediacy to musicians than all the hoopla and fanfare surrounding the Montreux-Detroit International Jazz Festival. The response of musicians to inquiries about the relevance of the festival has been a mixed bag. There s the put-on Montreux who? The put-down You mean MonStroh s, don t you?

NOTES

Farewell to Nunzio s, with a show by the Boners. Rumors about its demise are flying, including its possible reincarnation as a country and western palace. kK kk ok

One. Mo Time, a nationally acclaimed musical which recreates an evening in a New Orleans vaudeville house of the twenties, has snuck into Detroit barely noticed. The show is the first attraction of the new Masonic Temple Premier Season. This company of One Mo Time is fresh from Milwaukee, where it played the show for one week; Detroit is the first stop in Midwestern tour. Headlining the cast is Yvonne Kersey, who played Nell Carter in the 1980 Fisher Theatre production of Ain't Misbehavin . The show continues through Sept. 20. Amongst the revived tuned in the show is the New Orleans Hop Scop Blues, penned by Sippie Wallace's brother George Thomas.

NOTABLES

Catch the Montreux spirit with the following notables: From Cinderella's Attic, try bebop socks in new wave shades of pink, lavender, yellow, grey and green. These technicolor treasures have musical motifs hand painted on them in daygio hues: notes, records, treble clefs and so on. The hand painting is reflected in the price $7.50 but they're so perfect for strolling through Hart Plaza this weekend, how could you resist? The Attic _also has a fine selection of musical jewelry with an orchestra's worth of instruments for your lapel, neck or wrist. Cinderella's Attic, 13351 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, 5824672.

Given this season's versatility of styles, Retro clothes continue to assert their influence and manage to step right in with the shapes of current fashions. Note: black and white roomy, zouave pants, contrasted with a striped, cotton bodystocking, creating a look of cool elegance.

INVITATION. . .

the theater of our lives.

What will we wear? What willwe look like? Is punk passe? Is pirate in? If you're into role playing, rejoice! This season's personae are as elaborate as they are diverse. You may choose looks and silhouettes that range from Renaissance page boy through Edwardian beauty, all the way to Chinese ingenue. Or, in another register, from Navajo maiden to pirate, to space cadet. It's like a giant coloring book. All you need is the right palette of fabrics, patterns and accessories. Or maybe a very special invitation.

The most obvious trend is the Rich Look. From Milan to New York via Paris, the message is clear. There is new glamour that seems de rigueur. Goldshot fabrics, extravagant ornate accessories, mysterious encompassing capes, alladd up toa sense of well being and luxe. We are definitely witnessing a new wave of romanticism. The shapes of this opulent look are both softer and fuller.

Skirts and pants have well-defined waists but add volume thereafter. Blouses are shown with ruffles, wide

collars, puffed sleeves, or else as easy, fong tunics with decorative sashes. Pants are still going strong. They come in a variety of shapes and fabrics: from playful corduroy pedal-pushers to sophisticated leather jodhpurs, worn over ribbed stockings and low heels. You will see a bronze pump everywhere with everything. Watch for festive sweaters in angora and lurex used most effectively in layered looks.

The big news remains the oversized scarves, shawls and ponchos which lend an air of calculated intrigue.

Another trend leans toward a clean, pared-down silhouette, reflected. by sober wool suits, functional blousons and little black dresses that go everywhere. For a little more color, evening pajamas of a definite Chinese influence will do the trick. Or if you want to ruin yourself and knock everyone out, wear a tight leather skirt in a bright mandarin or Ming blue. Can't five up your beloved denims? Worn as knickers or ruffled skirts, topped by a glittering sweater, they will be just as fashionable and arresting. As in every season, fashion is about fantasy. It brings us out before the footlights where we stand, at work, at play, in dream, lighter, more colorful, more beautiful and confident.

BARRY HARRIS COMES HOME

by Geoffrey Jacques

NEW YORK

his summer saw pianist Barry T Harris conducting a workshop every week at a well-known jazz performance loft on Broadway in Greenwich Village. Attended by several dozen musicians playing nearly every instrument you can think of, the Harris workshop is a New York highlight for many who come here seeking to absorb something of the city s music scene.

The Detroit-bred pianist, however, who has been conducting workshops, making recordings and playing at concerts and in nightclubs here for some two dozen years, still considers himself flesh and blood of the Motor City.

T consider myself still there, he said recently in an interview. His family is still in Detroit, and, he said, he s never been in New York on Christmas or anything like that. When they ask me what I am, I

say that I m a Detroiter, I'm not a New Yorker.

Yet Harris is a regular femure on the New York music scene. He appears often with a quartet he shares with tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, as well as in some prominent trio settings around town.

There are many Detroiters who are just as unwilling to relinquish the pianist to New York as is Harris himself. As anyone who witnesses his upcoming concert at the Detroit Institute ofArts will see, Harris has a big following in his hometown. And with good reason.

After hearing him play, even ffit s justa couple of choruses, it will be easy to recognize him as one of the masters of modern jazz piano. Quite deliberately, Harris captures the spirit, the sound of modern music as it was heard in its heroic, youthful days of the 1940s; the days when it was christened, bebop!

Harris learned his craft in one of the greatest schools of modern jazz in the midwest; the Bluebird Inn on Tireman and Beechwood. During the late 1940s_

and early 1950s, the Bluebird served as the stomping ground for most of the greats of the then-new music. Legendary ~ tales abound about the musical and other exploits carried out there by such musicians as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Lester Young, Art Tatum and others. Indeed,<n tributeto the warmth and to the music he helped create, Parker named one of his compositions after the club.

Harris called it a very special place. He remembers that the band used to play in the window, similar to the setup

the Detroit Jazz Center World Stage Cafe does today. Before he was old enough to be a customer at the Bluebird, Harris said, Phil Hill, then house pianist there, would see me and I'd run in and playa piece and run back out. When he became 21, Harris celebrated his birthday at the Bluebird just sothey'd know he _was. of age.

Harris compared the Bluebird to such legendary places as Minton s in Harlem, said to be the birthplace of the modern music, or the Village Vanguard, another

legendary New York jazz room. It was. the kind of place which could be empty about 45 minutes before closing time, but if Sarah Vaughan would walk in there at 1:30, the place would be packed simply on the strength of word of mouth. People all over the world knew

about the Bluebird, said Harris, whose own worldwide reputation in part derives from a stint as house pianist there in the 1950s.

Today, like most practitioners ofhis art form, he has a reputation that far outstrips the income he derives from playing. I doubt if there s a jazz musician in this world who's worked _ steadily enough to know what he s worth, he said.

His quartet works now and then, and the fact that he s considered to be in wider demand than many musicians isa reflection of the effects of the economic crunch on the music scene. Another reflection of those effects is what Harris feels is the growing inability of the younger generation of Blacks to have access to their own creative music. Indeed, the workshop he conducts these days has very few Black students. All you have to do is look at the prices of instruments, he said. Harris, a graduate of Northwestern High School, argued we didn t learn to play music by looking at prices.

On the other hand, the fact that Harris New York workshop has many nationalities in it is a positive feature. They come from around the world to sit with Harris for a few hours every Monday night as he imparts the basic harmonic, melodic and rhythmic structure of an old chestnut, such as Back Home in Indiana to the assembled array of male and female saxophonists, trumpeters, pianists, violinists and trombonists.

But in the end, Harris looks forward, as always, to playing in Detroit.

Tm going to have a good time, he said. T'll be home.

Barry Harris will be appearing with Bess Bonnier at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Thursday evening, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m.

Social Studies

ECM/WATT W 11

Carla Bley is one of my favorjte jazz composers. In a rather perverse way, she can write material that seems to lumber about like the walk of a genteel drunk. But its only a

Carla Bley e: comedic, artistic type of drunk, always in control. Some of her music could underline silent scenes by Charlie Chaplin or_ Buster Keaton with the muscular grace and flair for the seemingly absurd that they brought to their work.

I had a~chance to see Bley with her crew in concert a few years back and came away infected by the fun these folks

were having up there on the stage. But Bley writes beautiful tunes along with her absurdities, and other people

see the worth of her songs.

People like Gary Burton, Don Ellis, Art.Farmer, Charlie Haden and Steve Lacy have included her music in their performance books and on their records.

As far as her own recordings .go, she s worked with top-notch people. If she needs someone

to play bass, she'll end up with Dave Holland, Charlie Haden,

Steve Swallow or some new blood with amazing chops. Ifa drummer s needed, there pops up somebody like Paul Motian or Andrew Cyrille. At times it seems like most of the New York loft sessions have sent their horn and reed sections to augment her rhythm section.

All .of this leads into Carla Bleys new album, Social Studies. The production job is a little cleaner than her previous recordings, but think that it only serves to highlight the oddly compatible lines played by the nine musicians in this music.

Two of the four songs on side two of this new album feature especially strong, heartfelt playing. Utviklingssang is a slow ballad with gently loping solos that build in understated intensity and then float down into a melancholy ending not without hope. Secular gospel music. The saxophone sectionof Carlos Ward and Tony Dagradi along with Michael Mantler on trumpet, play their solos with conviction and taste.

Floater is a quick upper that starts with Steve Swallow's pungent bass lines while Bley's organ playing slides in over clicking percussion and, through the miracle of overdubbing, Bley s subtle chording on piano. Then the brass section, slowly rises to the surface. A sax rises to the top for a bit, then subsides, making way for another Swallow solo which, in turn, gives way to the brass section again.

The humor of this album comes through in music like Reactionary Tango, and Walking Batteriewoman with their disjointed rhythms ably

reflecting the situation comedies implied in the titles.

I think that someday Bley will be counted with such other jazz composer/arrangers as Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Thelonius. Monk, Mary Lou Williams and Fletcher Henderson. Until that time, this album is another step into the aural - world of Carla Bley. Provocative music from a highly individual voice.

Kenny Burrell In New York Muse MR 5241

Jazz as chamber music. Guitar playing that involves more than two chords and lots of feedback. Taste, subtlety and fire in just the proper amounts to keep the interest of aficionado and novice listener alike. These are qualities that one of Detroit's gifts to the world ofjazz guitar has in abundance.

Let's talk about Kenny Burrell s new album for a moment. This record contains material left over from the first album in this series called Live at the Village Vanguard, and while these may be seconds, for other musicians they would be main takes. Burrell leads his group (Larry Gales on bass and Sherman Ferguson. on drums) through a short list of standards that makes for a pleasant evening of listening. Chestnuts like Makin Whoopee, But Beautiful and the blues-riff classic Bag s Groove are made to yield new pleasures.

This is not a great album; this is one of those albums that can be pulled off the shelf and listened to with pleasure when its time to cool out from a day in the real world. The mastery of Burrell on this afbum is not the type that beats you over the head with pronouncements of worth; it s the type that invites you to partake of quieter, -mellower joys. As such, this album has much to recommend it, but the best recommendation is always to hear the album for yourself in the

moment that you pick. Pick the moment carefully and you will be rewarded with playing of taste and style.

Montreux-Detroit International Jazz Festival:

First Commemorative Album

Columbia Special Products P15949

The profits from the sale of this album are being donated by Stroh s to hopefully perpetuate a new institution on the international jazz scene. This, of course, is the alliance of Detroit with its jazz tradition and Montreux, home of one of the most important jazz fests in the world. For that reason, and as a momento of the occasion, this album should do well. But, caveat emptor, read the small print on the back of the album if you think that this record will contain live performances from last year s festival.

Local Detroiters Lyman Woodard and Larry Nozero are included here, and both acquit themselves well. Woodard s funky, percussive jazz recorded live leads off side one, while Nozero s fluid; saxophone-led ensemble starts off side two. Everything else on the album is from the Columbia Records catalog and in most casesis still available on the original albums.

However, all are artists of some distinction, and_all have played in major festivals around the world. The record, featuring giants like Mingus, Getz, Dexter Gordon and the Brubeck-Mulligan tandem, plays well and makes for a good collection overall.

It would be nice, though, if next year an album recorded at this year s festival and featuring live performances would come out. Now that, to my mind, would be a real and lasting tribute to the Detroit-Montreux collaboration.

MONTREUX:

Continued from page 9

Detroit. Clarence Baker, on the other hand, is not about to compete with the growing popularity of Montreux. Last year I sat out here with Tommy Flanagan, while everyone else was downtown. Already there s a sign in the window at Baker s, the world s oldest jazz club: Closed Gone to Montreux.

With the exception of the Detroit Jazz Center, my club and Baker s are the only two jazz clubs in the city that book nationally known acts, Jarrett noted. The Jazz Center, which had made some plans to reopen during the Montreux week, is now uncertain about that possibility. According to Frank Bach, the Center s manager, money is a key factor. The World Stage Cafe, which has continued to function since the Center s closing, was itself shut down last weekend.

At Dummy s, Jarrett has booked former Detroiter Charles McPherson for a two-week stay, beginning Sept. 2. How did that come about? Well, I ve been trying to get McPherson back here since 1978. It finally worked out perfectly this time. It appears to be an easy solution for club owners. Simply adjust your schedule to Montreux and feed

Belgrave will be hosting a week-long gettogether at the Belcrest Hotel, near: Wayne State s campus.

If Spencer Barefield is right, then

the only way to stop the bickering among musicians and truly assist the club owners during the week of Montreux festivities is to include them in the decision-making process. None of the club owners contacted by the Metro Times has been involved in the policy at Montreux. Kenn Cox remains the sole minority musician on the Montreux program committee. Barefield again: As long as the powers that be at Montreux continue to operate in a vacuum and cut off

from the musicians, there s going to be disgruntled musicians in the community.

Criticism has also surfaced about the disparity of pay between certain headliners. And some musicians seem bent on accusing the festival of misusing funds from a National Endowment of the Arts grant, which they maintain was earmarked to insure the inclusion of yells artists in the festival.

Far too many local musicians feel that Montreux is more of a problem for them than a solution to their plight. Montreux may be only a week-long affair, but the envy and backbiting it creates lasts throughout the year, said one bandleader who chooses to remain anonymous. Personally, try to go on just like Montreux isn t happening. That s the best policy, think.

But to ignore something as large and as awesome as the Montreux festival is not easy. Obviously, a meeting is needed between the Montreux program committee and local musicians. It would be a shame to have such a potentially rewarding event destroyed because of a failure to unify and settle on a common venture. Montreux and Detroit deserve a better fate, but in the long run the festival can only reap what it sows.

In the Sime Court, there are only eight of them against all of her.

Armando s East

673 Franklin St. 259-9440

by Ronald Aronson

rmando s East now joins Mexican Inn to give us two Mexican restaurants only a short walk from Renaissance Center. But those who enjoy atmosphere as well as food may suspect that something is out of joint at Armando s East the moment they walk in. Not just the Muzak strikes you, but also the transformation of charming old Franklin Street East into a palace of plastic. Is it possible? Superimposed everywhere on the natural woods and glass dining room are multi-colored carpeting, plastic plants and flowers, and wood-grained formica and textured. naugahyde tables and chairs.

But after all, how much weight can we, give to our feelings of regretful nostalgia when Franklin Street East didn't prosper in the first place, and its empty shoes are being filled by Armando of Vernor, proven restauranteur? After all, should we be mourning the loss of Dodge Main on the site of the new Cadillac plant? Besides, restaurants live or die by their food...

The lunches are reasonable enough $4.19, including beans, rice and salad or chili, for all the standards, plus a combination plate for $4.95, and steak or shrimp at $6.95. At dinner the prices jump to $5.45 for tacos, burritos, enchiladas or tostadas (without the salad or

FROM NATURAL TO PLASTIC ON FRANKLIN STREET

chili), with steaks and other dishes from $6.95 including a paella at $12.95. And, considering the bottomless basket of corn chips on every table, no one need leave Armando s East hungry.

- Unfortunately, the food at Armando s East only strengthens. one s growing impression that all the energy and expense being lavished on this place look at the new tiled toilets and the construction upstairs, for example, or the souvenir menus and matches are being misplaced. If our recent lunch is any guide, the foodis lukewarm at Armando s East. Not

uniformly: the burrito is filled with tasty, juicy beef, and the frijoles are light and very good. But our meals tasted warmed over, the taco and tostadas not crispy, the food not warm enough, the lettuce like it had been standing around. The tortillas, although they seemed fresh, were tough.

Frustrated and pressing on, we ordered Camarones Rancheros 'Pan-fried shrimp in a spicy garlic and tomato sauce. The sauce was also filled with fresh green peppers and onions, and the dish could have been delicious but for being too cold, and above all for consist-

a&, ent eee.

O Kitchens

ing of frozen shrimp. Our table broke into an argument: should shrimp always be fresh? Should one automatically move around them on a menu that doesn't emphasize their freshness? After all, what can we expect for less than ten dollars, given the cost of shrimp today? The opposition was silenced by memories of a marvelous $6.95 fresh shrimp dinner at Wong s Eatery in Windsor. In the end, we ordered a Carta Blanca, the excellent Mexican beer, and filled up on corn chips. As said, no one need worry about leaving hungry at Armando's East.

again, sports fans. Its a beautiful summer for baseball. Geez, I thought we'd lost it there for a while.

Thanks go to my alert editor, Ron Williams.who had the sense to kill my obituary on the 1981 season when the strike was settled just before DMT went to press. Nice going, Ron, owe you one. And a warm welcome back to our heroes at Michigan and Trumbull who - have come home after a successful two-

month strike that finally showed the owners their union s not for breaking. Sure, talking about union busting and labor confrontation when it involves elite, high-paid professional workers sounds funny but its not, just ask the air traffic controllers.

Now, here s my problem. I m writing this on the Monday afternoon when the Tigers winning streak has hit nine. By the time you read it, mobs crazed by pennant* fever may be roaming the streets howling for playoff tickets. Or the bubble may have burst, and the realities of a road trip brought the Bengals and their followers back to earth.

I'm taking the plunge this time, though. In a short two-month sprint, I think they can do it. The point is, you're talking about one-third of season. That means one hot streak is magnified three fold. The Tigers should take full advantage. They weren't the ones who invented this idiot split season or had to change the playoff rules every three days so teams wouldn't have to dump games to qualify.

Somehow during that seven-weeklay-__off, the Tigers major weaknesses have turned into strengths: Bullpen depth. Right-handed pinch hitting. Outfield defense. Even aggressive baserunning (as in Kirk Gibson). Suddenly it's all

there, or so it seems. Is it only temporary? Maybe. But over just one-third of a season we might not have to find out. As a lifelong White Sox fan with a lifetime of sad memories and recurring fantasies, I remember the 1977 season when a Sox team with lots less talent than this year s Tigers ran in front for two-thirds of the year before it all fell apart.

picked the Tigers to finish fourth in the AL East. That's where they were when the strike started, and that s still ses I'd pick them in a 162-game

season. But the team looks beautiful; think Sparky's got the players believing and ready to subordinate individual egos for team goals, and I'm playing a hunch.

The Tigers win the second-half division race, shock the mighty Yankees in the -mini-playoff, and barely lose to the World Series-bound Chicago White Sox in a five-game thriller. The winning run scores on a steal of home by Ron Leflore.

*If you're a fan you know what the asterisk means, and if you're not you don't care.

MAGIC AND ICE MELT COBO HOOPS

By the way, fans, if you didn t catch the run-and-shoot exhibition staged Aug. 16 at Cobo Arena under the title of Renaissance Basketball Classic, you missed quite an evening's entertainment.

While the basket rims survived the slam dunks of Darryl Dawkins (who also almost put some dudes through the floor while blocking shots), its a wonder they didn't melt under the shooting of Isiah Thomas. LT. hit 12 straight 25-footers not bad considering that outside shooting is the weak part of his game.

Thanks to Earvin (Magic) Johnson and George (Ice) Gervin for headlining the affair. As the 188-175 score would suggest, the game bore only a distant hes

relationship to basketball. The unwritten rules, as interpreted by this balcony observer, allowed unlimited traveling but outlawed picking, screening, zone defense, man-to-man * defense and one team holding the ball for more than eight seconds without shooting.

think the fans enjoyed themselves just seeing ball players having so much fun. They also showed what they thought of the Pistons current venue by booing lustily at every mention of the Silverdome.

And special congratulations to Detroit's best sportswriter, Joe Lapointe, for his Free Press story on Curtis Jones.

SINCE 1978, the Detroit Alliance for a Rational Economy (DARE) has spearheaded a struggle against Mayor Coleman Young s program of tax abatements for corporations and austerity for the city s working people. As a Marxist elected to the City Council, DARE leader Ken Cockrel has been an outspoken champion of community struggles. In June, DARE dissolved. What did DARE accomplish during its three years of struggle? Why did it fail? What lessons can be learned for left independent urban politics?
