Winwood, Baker have been asked to appear at this year's Newport Jazz Festival.
The biggest event in the music calendar, and for years, the showcase or American jau. talent, Newport has already gone overboard for British Progressive groups.
Ten Years After, Jethro Tull, John Mayall and Led Zeppelin have already been signed to appear.
PRICE Now the organisers are
awaiting a decision by the Robert Stigwood Organisation whether Eric Clapton, Stevie Winwood and Ginger Baker can appear.
The new group makes its world debut at a free concert in London's Hyde Park on June 7, They fol low this with a tour of Scandinavia and are due to start an American tour on July II.
MM's American corres-
pondent Ren Grevatt reports from New York: "The asking price per concert for their tour is reported to be twenty thousand dol1ars against percentages of each gate. .. This could be a multi-million dollar tour, and the first to feature a true supergroup."
Baker, Winwood, Clapton have also been asked to appear on the British National Jazz and Blues Festival at Sunbury in August.
Negotiations are still being carried out but· it is
expected that the trio will appear on August 10, the last night of the Festival.
No contracts have been signed to date, but Ten Years After and Jethro Tull are likely to be flown back from America to ap. pear.
The Nice are another group who will return from the States to appear.
Other groups expected to appear include Terry Reid, Mick Abraham's Blodwyn Pig, Taste, Spirit of Jon Morgan, Yes and Clouda.

NINA'S THE
MEDIUM FOR THE
MESSAGE
MELODY MAKER, April 19. l 9flg.......pa,e 5
NINA SIMONE, the art ist , is the High Prieste.s of Soul , the blues singer and the jns pianist. Nina Simone, the person, is compelling, formidable , and totally involved in life and living.
She was in London last week reaching a much wider audience than usua l-thanks to a song from Hair end one from the Bee Gees- but worrying because her latest single " Revolution " is not being played
" I'm sensitive about all my reco rds but I'm concerned berausethis one isn't sell ing. I'd like the fans to find out why it's not being played, I want to know what they think
"'Revolution' means what's going on in the world " If you listen to the lyrics of the song you will see thou,Rli
it does mention the racial problem, there are numerous othersthe young against the old, the black against the white, the poor against the rich, the new breed against the old establishment
Same Emotions " I think the young people would like it especially " I try to say through my music what thousands of peoplt
thi nk and feel, but aren't able to say. I'm JUSt a m.td1um Milhons of people go through the same emotions m their own lives
"The music that you put out should be very close to what you reel. I'm very happy that I've had the hits - it's thrilling, a bonus, it's the supreme compliment but J'm not going to change what I do and put out something that doesn't please me
"I like to please the public but not at my own expense " I want to sing the best music in life - the best that I can
find . "Yes, the message is more important to me but I don't think
it can be separated from the music. For me, the message is more important. The message
L-0-V-E. Love, baby, and care - people don't care about one another."
The state of the British charts inter ested Nina , especially the current upsurge of enthusiasm for Tamla-Motown
"Coloured artists are leading the trend of music in the pop chart and this is what should be. It should have happened years before.
"There are many reasons - we could talk all day about it - but the world is getting smaller
"Coloured artists are accepted in ways they could never have been before-they don't have to take back seats any more.
AMONG THE ACCUSERS, AMONG THE FINGERPOINTERS OF OUR TIME, ONE STANDS OUT CLEARLY: LENNY BRUCE. AS HE SAID ONE NIGHT, IN A FAMED ASIDE. ''l'M SORRY IF l'M NOT VERY FUNNY TONIGHT, BUT l'M NOT A COMEDIAN. l'M LENNY BRUCE" PROFOUNDL y SO; AND SINCE HIS DEATH THE ONCOMING WAVE OF YOUTH HAS PICKED UP ON HIM.
NOW THE MYTH, THE MARTYR, SPEAK OUT STILL THROUGH A HERITAGE OF TAPED LIVE PERFORMANCES. FROM THESE, FRANK ZAPPA CHOSE THE BERKELEY CONCERT, AVAILABLE AROUND MID-APRIL ON TRANSATLANTIC TRA 1950. THIS IS THE FIRST LENNY BRUCE FULL CONCERT PROGRAMME ISSUED WITHO UT ANY EDITING WHATSOEVER . TWO

Transatlantic WHERE TRENDS BEGIN
The medium is very big now - there's TV, radio and travel."
"First of all, I regard myself as a coloured woman who is very sensitive about this thing .
Mark " I always want to reflect
my people. Young people. black or white, come second.
" l am a spakeswoman for young people, but first of all J'm a coloured woman.
"The thing l most want to do is take a year off, or however long it takes, and do an awful lot of reflect• ing about life and mus ic.
"You have to see what you've done and you have to take time to do that.
" When I die I want to have left some particula r mark of my own. I'm carving my own little niche in this world now."

THIRD DIMENSION THE FUTURE
1969 1s a critical year for Scott Walker in as much as he must prove to his severest critic - hims e If - that what he is doing is worth while.
APART
Bas1ca lly he wants to establish himself on the Contmt:nt bu t _..,en more 1mpor• .ant, to gam some tang1b)P recogmuon for his work a, composer. He threatens a drastic solution if he :annot prove h1mseH

Does Scott feel that he might do better m future to shake off tht> lugubrious and 11Lghtly PJrano1d image he has been given m the past J

Has the possibility of a reunion concert with the Walker Brothers - say in Japan - ever occurred to him?
BURIED
"What a dreadful thought My God - regression. The Walkers are dead and buried and better for it.
Will his fear or flying cu rtail his appearances abroad and why is he fnghtened anyway?
" No - if necessary I travel by tram. I suppose if necessary I will have to gel on a plane again to play Japan but it will mean a full trained nurse travelling with me and pumping me full or tranquilisers. Not even a bottle of Scotch could get me on a plane now.
" Death does not frighten me because I am a fatalist. I hate wars and the people who make films of war and glorify those involved as heroes - that's swinish."
GLAMOUR
" I'd like to produce Presley," said Scott unshamedy. "He could do so much better for himself He keeps all those cronies who have been with h1m for years, lake the Jordanaires, and denies himself the ta lents or a great arranger or good material.
" He still does these ter• nble old 12 bar blues things I'd like to get him in a studio with a good string orchestra and make him sing some of the material like the old Walker Brothers used to do. Songs like 'Make It Easy on Yourself' - he could do thing5 like that so well "
"We've lost the glamour of pop - I don't see it returning," Scott concluded. "Underground music will become more popular - unfortunately and perhaps solo singt:rs will overwhelm the groups
"Well, like I said I want to cm"ri:e a~ a writer, do some films - direct not act m them - broaden my knowh~·dic and of course t'.mergt as a TV pcrsont1llty." And ht• laughed and lau~hed and lftt1Jdu:-d

MELODY MAKER JAZZ POLL WINNERS CONCERT
British THF MELODY MAKER Pollwmners Concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Saturday proved two things quite conclusively that the best British jazz musicians compare with the finest anywhere in the world; and that a Pollwinners concert doe 'i not have to be an organisational and musical disaster.

The Beatles as nature intended.
"Get Back" is the Beatles new single. It 's the first Beatles record which is as live as can be, in this electronic age.
There's no electronic watchamacallit. "Get Back" is a pure spring-time rock
number.
On the other side there's an equally live number called "Don't let me down''.
Paul's got this to say about Get Back ... "we were sitting in the studio and we made it up out of thin air ... we started to write words there and then ... when we finished it, we recorded it at Apple Studios and made it into a song to rollercoast by''.
P.S. John adds, It's John playing the fab live guitar solo.
And now John on Don't let me down. John says don't let me down about "Don't let me down".
In "Get Back" and "Don't let me down" , you 'll find the Beatles, as nature intended. Get Back/Don't let me down (Parlophone 5777)

decadent BBC " BBC One is the
worst, most decadent thing in the whole country."
Fighting talk from bluesman Ouster Bennett in response from a little stirring from me as to why blues in general, and he in particular, gdt comparatively little ex• posure on radio or TV.
"The BBC ls the Civil Service - and that's the biggest insult I can think of," he warmed to his subject. " Radio One plays into factories and homes and people listen to what those silly people say. After a while they begin to believe it and then to think like it. Those deejays should realise they a re brainwashing people.
"The BBC is a closed shop - you either make BBCtype records or you don't get played, They are not providing a real enter• tainment service, merely playing what they think is good for people. Nobody there takes any interest In what is really good - or even what is actually happening at the moment. I don't even like to be connected with it all, but then there ls no other sound medium for us in this count ry."
Duster seems to hold strong views on most mulliical matters . For example. he feels It is time there was some new blood on the Britis.h blues scene.
BY BOB DAWBARN ·• You hear of the same old
people all the time," he said. " It's time we had some new faces and there arc ~ome very good ones - among the best arc Top Topham, a guitarist from Kingston; Lloyd Watson, a singer from Peterhoroughi and a bass player called Kenny Clarke.''
I ventured to suggest that, as a general rule, the instrumentalists were far more convincing than the singers on the current British blues scene.
"Let me shake you by the hand," he said by way or warm agreement. "The trouble is they are not singing about what It is really like to be alive today. It's still • Woke up this mornln ' reelin' bad.' which isn't the truth. Half of them are still trying to be old 78s.
"In a way, we must blame the record companies for not releasing the sort of material that is released in the States. Let's hear some Bobby Bland, the greatest ever! And 1 pray that B. B. King will get a proper listen on his tour. But 1 suppose people will Just go to see how fast he can play the i:,ultar."
Duster Is on the King tour, with Fleetwood Mac and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, which opens on April 22. He will also
BLUES ON LP
soon be in a position to do something constructive for new blues artists.
"J shall be producing records and talent spolt• ing for Blue Horizon," he explained. " 1 reel particularly strongly about finding new talent. A blues label halli to put out blues to a formula that the public will reco~nise as blue~. The Blue Horizon sound has become stylised enough for people to recognise it. Now ls the time to bring them up to a more immediate and relevant s tate and start breaking the rules a little, Introducing fresh Ideas. Mlke Vernon is fully behind me on all this and we are going to produce some fresh ideas and make records which we hope will say more to both the person in the street and the blues fan."
With so many blues groups believing that you have to hit the audiences with sledgehammer volume I wondered how Duster made out as a solo artist
" I think impact can be achie\•ed in other ways than volume," he explained. "And anyway 11 O watts or Duster Bennett blasting in your carhole is enough for anybody. Sometimes in Ja~ge places, or places with bad acoustics, I come off better than a loud band because they jusc boom round the hall.
"Occasionally, though when I have to fight ro; my life against a good band on the same bill I'm glad to have the power if I want ic."

a s harp lntellig,ence she parried one zeatou~ Interviewer with such quiet hon esty that soon three people wert> having a friendly n tlll'T about the music world and a man who came to take pictures just stayed and listened.

Joan Baez, I thin!.. , was the blagest Influence, If you could call It that, at first, I hud heard her slnt1lng so beau1.lfully and just plA)•lng a guitar. I sa ng In Swansea folk club but I was not really part of the folk revival. I ju.st liked some of the songs because the) were so heaullful.
" I am not at a ll a fraid or big crowds. I'm not overawed. Girls In aud~nce-s have bf'en very kind really .•. glrls my own age. I jus.t want to be natural. I don•t like to talk a lot on stage and I don't want to rf'hearse things to say ,ind a ll that.
" l.s that lonely woman really me? No. Not at all," she laughed. "It's quite pleasant to be on such a show u this. I mean everybody is so kind. The)' are grut people. I am only concerned about my voke. Appearing twice a nlgltt 1.s hard on your ,·olct". I'm trying to conserve it as much as possible..
"Paul, or course, has had a lot of influenct" on me, on the type or SORA I sing. But he doesn 't make
me do anything I don't want to do. He doesn't tell me what to sing. He found • Tho.sf' Were The Days ' for me and now hH written •Goodbye• for me and I si ng them because I think they're love ly songs.''
She picked up a simple acoustic guitar for a pleture. " I just love my ,tuitar. II s tartf'd off like that for me. I'd never ao on without it .•. If you care about si nging and the lyrle1 or a song you ca.nnot treat It harshly. Singing comes from the hearL"
Mary Hopkin with her Wei.sh-red ank le-length J<Own says s he l.s not a polltkally Involved person. She doesn 't admit to being quite bllingual though she has made Welsh-language r ecordin,.s, " I Jun like singing In Welsh, that's all.

" I'd Jove to have the sort of presence that Joan Baez or Donovan hav~. I saw Joan Baez on her own with a auitar and s he was beautirul and Donovan on stage for two and a half hours on his own just sfttlng there sin&lni,t .and reciting poet,y.

Mary left Dublin for London la.st week and then home to WaJes" to see some of my real friends. I've a week off and then I'm goln1 to America ror TV. It wlll be a change to get home. Although rve been the only girl on 1his tour everybody's been re:tlly aeat to me."
I'm mre they had a warm welC()me for their Welsh pr1neess In Pontudawe. In lrelMd she was the fr~hest breeze to have blown through the dusty corridors of Irish oop since Joan Baez held two and a ha.If thousand people In awed reverence In a boi:lng st11dlum four yt"ars ago.

"I've been looking rorw• .rd so much to this holiday," she bubbled. "'l can•t believe It's happening. We're stoppi.: off ill New York before we &et to Acapulco. Barry is com1n& alona too. The boys have some buslnrss k> do ln New Yoric:.
.. I've ne, r been to Acapulco before." added Lulu. Reminded that Ekis Presley had made a film the.~ she said: "Yes. I know. But l"ve Sttn only about two of bis films. And they we-re early ones. ..
Lulu"s interest in Aa.puloo stemmed solely from the fact that she had made a 1V commercial about a year a,eo - and the location had been Acapulco. But she hadn't needed to ao there, havine. sune. behind the film or the picturesque scenery.
Certainly It ls a refreshin& change from Lulu's last trip abroad - to Madrid for the Eurovlsion Song Contest.
For she frankly admits she found the atmosphere there a bit " draggy.•
"SWl, U '4'115 all vtty exCltinc. I must confess I was ncn·ous befott J went on. But that soon went as e-verybody became involved fn the event."
Apart from this minor criticism - understandable from a 20-year--old with enough zing lo drive the QE2 across the Atlantic - Lulu has no complaints.
For, \\.iuil~ver has been said about the Eurovi.sion event. Oler-e's aru.otutely no doubt th.at a win such as Lulu's carries tremendous prestige and monetary

reticent about himself he makes the average pop star sound hke Doctor Goebbels on the rampage.
But slowly the facts emerged that he has two sisters and one brother. He first sang in church choirs, but his work consisted of engineering and, for a time, pie-mal(ing.
Desmond is no stranger to the British chart At the end or 1967. he had a hit with " 007 " - and made a brief visit to promote it. Now he's here again, and will be playing ballrooms and clubs until July .
Started DESMOND DEKKER: forty No. 1 hin in Jamaica
Choice His itiner-ary will pro
bably be tougher here than at home, for there Desmond - of choice - works only three days a week. At
'weekends. "Most or the time J spend writing," he says with disarming simplicity.
Desmond, in fact, is so
"Then my friends thought J could make good as a singer," says Desmond. " So I recorded a song cal led 'Honour Your Mother And Father.' It was my first record and it became a big hit for me."
The records Desmond now started to tum out in growing quantities were known RS Ska. Then Rock Steady and Reggae. Each type of music was a little
more sophisticated than its predecessor.
Desmond's latest disc -made in Britain a couple of weeks ago - wiJI not be issued until " Israelites " has had its full successful run.
Driving But the disc in the can
takes the music a step further. A driving brass section has been added, and

Don't play flat Normally organs are designed to be played sitting.
With the excitement of today's music, so many artists get canied away they can't keep $tated.
So we built "The Professional" with a tilting keyboard, so you can stand up to play.
The sound "The Professional" produces is of the greatest range and quality.
There's a suies of distinctive 1ireal" voices.
Pure flutes. Mixtures of subtle shade and
combination. Five percussion stops for all
voices, or just miitures only. Vibrato in four settings. And slide controls for
fast, easy operation.
And, so you can ~t the full benefit of this instrument, Farfisa have an amplification system that matches "The Professional". The ABL 73 system. ABL 73's
amplifying unit, extension speaker and Sound Sphere (Leslie) cabinet can be
placed at random for wide diffusion, or in column fashion for high sound
concentration. But even though "The Professional" is lightweight, compact and portable, and
even though you can stand up to play, it wiU add so much dimension and excitement
to your group's sound that from now on it won't be just one-night stands.
It'll be standing ovations. See and bear the Farfisa "Professional"

In his early yea rs, and when the wonderrul combination with arranger Oliver Nelson was fresh, Smith produced LP after LP which proclaimed that here was a uniquely powerful and individual musician and after you·d heard Jimmy Smith, things would never be the same again
Apart from the purely technical feats which Smith had to achieve to tum the organ into a viable jazz proposition. he is a wonder• ful blues player, a determined swinger capable of producing more excitement than every one of his imitators put together.
In his thirteen years of recording, he has produced an incredible volume of work . Anyone spending so much time in the s1ud1os cannot avoid turning out

The early years with Blue Note found him working mainly in the trio format, for me his most congenial habitat, with the addition of occasional guest.5 for an informal Jam session atmos phere

The exuberance and swing which amazed musi cian and layman alike made Smith a successful com• mercial commodity quite early on, and in the ramdiar atmosphere or the Blue Note establishment he contmut.'d to make a stre.am or albums which were good, reliable stuff.
Then he left for the Verve-MGM label. The reasons he gave me for the move were summed up in
one word " Dis• tribution ."
Smith has always shown an astute grasp of the business side or his career, and although he maintains he was happy with Blue Noll:, he was nol slow to
realise thal whal was then n small independent la~l could not nffer the same facilities as a major com• pany
In his new surroundm~s. another aspect or his musi cal character was unfolded when he was teamed with a bi~ band under Oliver Nelson. From this partnership came ground-breakin~ stuff like ., Walk On The Wild Side," "Who's Afraid Of Vnginia Woolf'' and many others which set a pattern for any organist who sat down in front of a big band.
At this distance, 1l's easy to write Smith off as one of the great music.al bores Having accomplished so much so quickly, it's undeniable that as the quantity or his output increased. its quality diminished
He's also had to carry the burden or being one of the most imitated musicians in popular music histor) We

Tonally the organ developed from the diapason pipe (an " ordinary " o rgan pipe) and add11ional ranks were added to give the harmonic: senes (the octave, double O<'· tave, fiflh and third, etc.), thus by drawing nll these one key could produce a common chord or sounds
BULK
Other stops such as flutes and rerds and string tones, were added but all the time a total tonal result wu aimed at JUSI as the orchestra is comprised or strings, woodwind, brass and percussion but all combining in the full orchestral tone
A departure from this Jong trad1t1on came with the cinema organ which was designed for en tertainment and nnt for leading the singing, and the bulk or elect ronic: organs have followed this later read allhnugh th t:re are models which do follow the o ri ginal tonal ideas and we shall see mor~ In due course.
VIBRATION
Prohabl)' 1he firs1 to produce steady tones from etec.tncal means was Helmholtz, a great German scientist who drd much work m music.al acou'it1cs, nearly a hundred years ago He mamtamed tuning forks in vibrat1nn by means of electro•magnets and the sound was made more aud1hlt> hy means of resnna
FRONT
The next advance was when Laurens Hammond produced his toothed wheel generator rotatmg in front of bar ma~nets, the c:hang1n): nrn_gnetic field mduced i.;urren ts m coi ls around the ma):nets ot the frequency of the number of " teeth " passing the maRnets each second
Once a_gam the 1une ronlrol w:is by addmJt harmonic'i unul the desired sound qua\lty was ohtamed
Other rotary systems fol, lowed One by the Compton organ Company con~isted of discs engraved with areas of meu11 so shaped that when • scanning disc was revolved at a small distant.e in rront of these, the area " looked al " by the scanner varied at a frequency determined by the number of areas and the speed of the scanner
FIELD A h1):h voltage WllS applied
to these plates and thus tht· electrit field varied at the same frequency; this was amplified and again tone colourmg was by addition of harmonics
Parallel with the rtSC m populnnty of these last two systems came the method whereby the movemenl5 ol electrons bet"' ecn an lnduclor and capadtor he ma1nta1ned by a 1herm1onic valve leltrng pulses of current at the exact ume required to keep the oscillation going, a nd from that developed the pra<'lke or using an octave of these tuned
c1rc: u1ts to supply pulses to the octave belo w, whic h had mull, vihrator circuits
Ordinarily mulliv1brators wo uld not keep m tune, but they can be re li able 1f syn· chron1sed and two puli.cs of the ··master" triggers one of the divider; two pulses from this octave synchronise the octave he:low and so on
TONES
The output waveform has m,1ny harmonics and these are left in to produce trumpet and string tones but the up• per ones are removed by electrical filters so that only the first one or two are ldt for flute toneis
With the advent of thr transistor the whole 1nstru• men! has been made physically smaller and consumes far less power and it has been possible to incorporate many more circuits to give percussive effects which, in its broadest sense, includes imitation of st ruck and plucked strinis, as well as drums, cymbals, el<'
YIELD
Passing the signal down a IOO!lt! spiral spring produces reverberatmn effects and there are more new sounds to come, but I am glad to say th•t cultured, musically-minded designers are doing good research work at the moment 11nd these should yield artistic results

Bob Stutkey? I know his name:- from somewhere. I'm not over imprttsed. Fu-st or all, he didn't have a lot to play on that track.
It's very difficult to assess • player wh,m you hear just one solo
R IC~~&,ES,GR~ri.~ houd •• from the album ._ Soul Message " (TransaUaotlc PR 7435).
Not much organ 1s there? Don't like it. Sounds as though you've tumed the first a lbum over
He's using the same tone all the wa) through Don't hke it much. I don't think this i.s ,,.e.ry good II doesn't hold the interest
JM1ES BROWN: "D lb.ing ' ' from the
album u James Brown Plays The Real Thing "
(Philips BL7823). l'ry squeaky or~an play
mg James Brown is it? I wouldn't buy this. It's not all that good Really noth m~ as the organ goes.
l _ (t.et very brouEtht down by 11 as it goes on.
L o~~nk" ,,::1:~
album u Think " (BluC' Note 84290).
This 1s Lonnie Smith Pretty good nctu&lly. On this 1..P there's a good guitarist. I've heard this somewhere before. Sounds a bit like J immy Smith.
Ir you not ice, most .Jf them get stuck on the same tone. l was watching Jimmy Sm1th once and he uses all the draw bars. ls this track ty pica l of the whole alb:..im. I"d like to know if it's be.en made on pop lines or jazz lines. The organ is restricted in a way more than most other instruments. It's not where you play it, but how.
There's hardly anyone on these albums we've heard that hasn't had a guitar. It can be very boring to listen all the time. It's very dis• passionate
B1f~s~,~~u~s A:.~ JI " featuring Dick HalUgan on organ from " Blood, Sweat and Tears" (CBS63504).
This is very nice. Beaufr
ful sound , very churchy. Well recorded, they've got right into it
Difference between this and Jimmy Smilh is that Smith is Just jazz, this is improvisation. See how they tnke the volume up and down and get light and shade.
This is so well recorded, so crisp.
It's better played with fugue things, doomy. Blood Sweat and Tears a re into something different. You can tell by the recording, it's oil coming together and they're doing someth ing new
J1~1~! Got t~::~?,; from the album II I've Got A Woman " (Solid State USS7012).
1 know the tune. It's " I've Got A Woman." J immy Mc• Griff'. He's got a great, harsh, raw sound. He doesn't vary his tones as much as Jimmy Smith.
Very aggressive. Nice
~itr~u~ ~=;~ :g;~~~d t~! tone was exactly th'! same. This is like a jam.
Blood Sweat and Tear,; have got more to lilnen to .

really like this It shows how a recorded sound makes a difference . Tt,is is a good recording but thf:playing is not spectacula,·
Blood Sweat and Tea rs have been the best so far fo r recording and playing. This sounds like tht-atre organ playing.
BRJ>~r }t;t o!Vf;.; from the album " Live! At The Jazz Workshop " (Transatlantic PR7286).
I've got no idea who it is. Very tinny . Sounds like McGriff. Semi - distorted, very toppy. It's a thin sound with the top drawer bars and hardly any bass
Good player. I think of him the same way as Jimmy McGriff, although McDuff' is more jazzy.
WY~~: H~~s:R~; Jack Built " (written by Alan Price) from the album "Out Of The Frying Pan" (Island ILPS 9082).
That's not ·• The House That Jack Built " is it? Nice guitar. The only one I think who would have the humour to do that is Mike Carr.
Wynder K. Frog, he's a very good player. It's strange listening to it. It's got a lot of attack .

We had a pian ola and I used to stand on the pedals with my chin just about reaching tht' keyboard! By the time I was 11 I could play hoogie-woogie and rag,s on piano It required an ama7in~ kind or technique which I don't have now• My pianist brother Jimmy was a great jau. fan and played me records by Muggsy, Louis.

Just a nice bit of rock and roll for the people B E A T L ES : " Get
Back " (Apple). OkJy, so this is what we all wanted - the return of the old Beatles.
The, hJven 't donned Mersey beat wigs, but at least they have tried to please us with some helpless musical innocence. Just a nice bit of rock and roll for the people.
Paul singing with feeling, the guitars and drums pounding a Chuck Berry-type riff and an echo like the Liverpool Cavern. No naughty freak-outs, no weird lyrics, just good clean fun. Fine stuff and a hit methinks.
So over to top national journalist E r n es t Smite for his reasoned comments and reaction : "Get Back? Yes, that's wot I sez. Git back to where you come from you longhaired scouse gits!" Thank you Ernest.
GLASS MENAGERIE: " Have You Forgotten Who You Are" (Polydor) . A Chas Chandler production and a warm sound that lays back on the beat and reatures an , m a g I n a t i v e accompanrment to emotional vocals
F.ffective use 1s made of piano and organ, and one cannot help but tip this for the top
rnlli~~~ Wrn~rnlli , POP SINGLES
PAUL McCARTNEY : singing with feeling
RAY STEVENS: " Gita r-un •· (Monument). If there is one type of record the public can 't
stand it's " funny r eco rd s.'' Espec ially funn y records, that are more droll than hilarious.
If you bother to listen to the wo rds, drowned in heavy production, then you might raise a smile , Most will scowl or spit I fear.
I know their ways y'see .
SLIM WHITMAN: " My Happiness" (Liberty). Over to my country export Big Jim Cowpoke for his ve rd ict. Quit poking t hem cows Jim, and get over hyar
"Well Sir, m y hea rt is just bursting with pride on
t~~e oc~;~~n. 'a thi~~gt~~ pretty tune sung by good old Slim at his howdy-hoe best."
"Throw anothe r cowpoke on the fire Zeke,"
IKE & TINA TURNER: "I'm Gonna Do All I Can (To Do Right By My Man)" (Mlnlt). The phrase: " Slow paced rockaballad" sp rings all too easily to mino .
Better to say Miss Tina Turner sings with beauty and strength. One of the finest performances of the pop age
Play it loud and play it proud.
MELVll'I DAVIS: "Save It (Never Too Late) " (Action). Over to sou I expert Irving " Finger-
po p " O'Yeah " W e ll bl ess muh soul Put your hands toge the r at this t ime and try a littl e tenderness. W e ll J feel ALL right! "
From this garbled a ccount we can d educe this is exceptionally ry thmic and ideal for rather clumsy men with white shirts and unsuitabl e hipsters to frug to in ungainly fas.hion with vacuous girl friends in their local borotheque.
MERRILL MOORE: "Sweet Mama Tree Top Hall "
~tC):, :~~fe .~a~~~i~: has lo ng been shoutin g from the tree tops the virtues of Mr. Moore's boogie piano.
And by jove he's right. The man is a genrus of the ivories!
GLEN CAMPBELL: "Galveston" (Ember). A light hiccup o r hicough in his throat, tends to have m t reaching for imaginary six-shooters. Hit herto J have remained silent on the subject of Glen
;;~rd~~II itFe;~~• o~utth; more unhealthy aspects of Our Times .
1 reel sure if Peter The Great, Tsar Of All The Russias, were still alive, he would behead this chortling cowboy with his bare hands and place the seve red bonce m a pick ling jar and leave it at the feet of his mistress· bed
RAY BARRETTO: " Acid " (London). Screaming hot trumpet on one or the best instrumentals m some time.
Violent timbales, sexy scra------------------------------------------, pers and judicial shouting
from a nameless shouter lead mto Mr. Barretto's conga drum solo
An all out gas.
LEVIATHAN: "Remember The Times " (Elektra). Once known as the Span, this revamped group present us with two singles as examples of the ir work. This is most read• ily commercial of four s ides.
Although I commilted myself to dismissing it as a total flop o n my TV Spectacular due ror screening in October o n BBC 2 (" Brmg that screening date nea re r• ·· yells Wendy Potts), after several pla ys, I now realise the e rro r or my ways and suggest it could well lurch chart high

YOU can't be neutral about Melanie. She's one of those people who comes along and
creates new dividing lines in the scene, set-ting people at each other's throats who normally see eye to eye on good and bad. At first hearing everyone feels they have to stand up and be counted. . fka

th<y made a single of, "Bo Bo's Party." some of them, like her arch interpretation of A. A. Milne's "Christopher Robin " made me want to upchuck.
I've heard her be brilliant in London. She slJcnced a crowded room of tough record executives at last year•s Mldem. But by all accounts her reception in Paris last month was rather less than lukewarm.
I can bleleve U. Quite apart from the fact that the Olympia is probably the second toughest gig in the world (the absolute toughest being Harlem's Apollo) the audience that goes for Gilbert Becaud as top ot the bill isn't exactly ready for what Melanie has to say to them, and I could imagine her getting uptight with them, very badly, on a bad rdgti•.
Not that I have ever heard her sing bad ly. I have seen her come out on a stage and tr1umi'.-h over a sound system that howled feedback at her as soon as she opened her throat and sang. I have seen her SlnJ!; one line of a son~ and get slugged on the back or the head by a piece of stage scenery that came adrift and fell on her - she staggered, shook her head, sett led herself down and started over.
She finished to cheers, and it wasn't merely approval for the continuance or the old "show must go on " tradition.
She is certainly a pro, every inch of this rather hung.up, slightly overweight New York girl of Ukrainian parents, but she is not hyped on the old trouper, showbiz is showbiz nonsense. I watched her recording one cut for her forthcoming album at a London studio. The first take
knocked me out, but it didn't satisfy Melanie. In fact, as I left a couple of hours later she was discussing a completely new approach with MD John Cameron.

Is Rolling Stone the Pol· smoker's War Cry?) they are no doubt working out bags to put Melanie In. I can foresee comparisons with Barbra Streisand. Edith Piaf. Janis Joplin - o r ir you prerer, Judy Garland.
They'll all be wrong. Melanie's bag is going to be her own.

WIN YOUR FAVOURITE LP BY WRITING TO MAILBAG MAILBAG Address: M•lody Moker, 161_ Flut St•••'· !:C.4.
Driving music off the air WITH THE publica
tion of the MM's Country Style supplement, the first important step in the final breakdown of the Establishment's apathy to country music has been taken.
At last, equality It is ~ignificant that
pop progression owes a great deal to the country field-the unchallenged leader in pop progression, Bob Dylan, has his musica l roots in country music and undoubtably his " John Wesley Harding " a lbum was influenced by his fnendship with Johnny Cash.
The recent combination of their lalents on disc promises to set new horizons on which fi nally pop and country mus,c wi ll co• t:>ost on an equal basis. -KEN CLEAVER, Blrken-
• head, Cheshire.
for Country 'n' Western
IN YOUR article on country music why was there no ment ,on of Fra.nk Ifie Id who has done mo re to promote count ry music than any other British a rtist?
Although he has changed his style to some extent, Frank IS Sllll basically a councry art1~t who frequently r~cord!l in Nashville backed by such musicia ns as Chet Atkins, FIO.)'d Kramer, Boots Randolph and the Jordana1res.
Two years ago he was made an honorary citizen or T~nness~e for his work an prumotina roun1ry mus ic -an hon ou r which has not been

HOWFVFR much one may choose to t r iticise t he mtthocls employed by John and Yoko Len non there can b,- no doubt as to their sincerity and motives
To devoh: one's tune and t-lrorts in the pursuit of peace
and understanding 1.s a vocauon worthy of the utmost support I woold urge ~le everywhero;? to li s ten , not scorn, and to follow the dis• ciples of peace.--.1. O. SMITif, Barkin&, Es.sex. EACH year at the National Jazz and Blues Festival there is a group that steals the show-Ten Years After and Jethro Tull being the show stea lers in the last few years.
I pt""edict that the show• stea lers 1h11 year will be Mick Abrahams' Blodwyn Pi& Al· thouxh they haven·t been to• g~ther too Jong, they Are already a tremendous band and

8 ~r blowing the minds of Everyone ,H the Festival.
And how about Clouds -they're doing some very fine things, too .-MARTIN SMITH, Rrlstol, Somerset.
l WAS a little .saddened at the attitude of Michael
Chalmers' letter about Skip James. Were it not for the popularity of the British artists he resents, there would be little raised for Skip in Britain or the USA as it is largely their success which has brought a folio'-""• ing for artists like Skip.
Skip nas recriv~d large amounts of money from the Cream rt:cording of " I'm So Glad " and from benefits to which British artists have -Jadly donated their services
Too many people run down British blues artisls on illfounded moral prmcir,les. -IAN ANDERSON, London W2.
WHY CAN'T record com• panies supply a copy of the words of the music on LP's. It could be done cheaply on the inner sleeve and it has been supplied on albums by the Doors and Beatles.ROBERT JURY, Crowthome, Berks.
JOHNNY CASH influenced Bob Dylan's 'John Wesley Hardin' album.
