12 Gil Evans: “Refocus On…” by Bob Palmer. Maestro Svengali—an arranger—is back on the scene, concocting brilliantly complex, impressionistic music. The man behind the subdued charts of Sketches Of Spain and Miles Ahead is now incorporating electronics and rock into his big band schemes. And he wants to let you know he’s available.
-
14 Ben Sidran: “The Weekend Starts Now” by Joan Levine. Sidran does more than just research doctoral theses on how the music of Black America created a radical alternative to Western literary tradition. He also plays a funky jazz piano and sings Mose Allison–inspired lyrics.
-
15 Michel Legrand: “The Renaissance Of…” by Thomas Tolnay. “Picasso’s point was that if you did not understand the language of the artist, you can’t expect to understand what the artist is saying. If you do understand his language, then there is no need for words.”
-
16 Yes: “Indeed” by Herb Nolan. Rick Wakeman and Co. have surfaced to discuss their topographic approach to thematic rock’n’roll. While expounding, they may be involved in a game of backgammon, blowing on an ocarina, or skimming a macrobiotic cookbook.
