BELL TELEPHONE HOUR (NBC, 6:30-7:30 p.m.). "Going to Bethlehem." Highlights of last spring's annual Bach Festival in Bethlehem, Pa., featuring Soprano Judith Raskin, Bass Cesare Siepi and a 200-voice choir...
Amplified Whirlpool. Such scenes have not been uncommon during the past three weeks on the latest U.S. tour by the Jimi Hendrix Experience-Hendrix plus Englishmen Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums.

Steve Swallow on bass provides a mellow underpinning, while Drummer Bobby Moses adds cymbal-splashes of color. On swiftly paced tracks such as June the 15, 1967, their rapid notes become a braided stream of bright sound...
