...care of two maiden aunts (Doro Merande and Enid Markey) who are so naive and troublesome that they should be put out of harm's way before the series gets much older. Script credit goes to one George Tibbies, who may add a new word to show-business lingo. Entertainments of this sort are obviously not written; they are tibbled...
Praises "B" for your article, "The Era of Non-B"! How could you omit the terrible traffic of textbooks in the field of education, the area of lingo-jargon, grammatical error, meaningless repetition of four words (fundamental, needs, experiences, objectives), padded with graphs, charts, tables and diagrams that imply the reader may not comprehend the value of the paragraph, and therefore might catch...
...Beginning last year, modern jazz, progressive and otherwise, has taken over the joints. At last count, Japan has some 3,000 union-registered jazz musicians noodling away at the out sounds of such current favorites as Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey and Miles Davis. They have even picked up the lingo, and added soy sauce.

Shinu (literally: I die) means being overwhelmed, and if the sounds are too far out, they are ikareteru (meaning...
...Ornette's surprisingly wide and uneven reputation has been built chiefly on three albums whose titles sug gest the experimental nature of his work: Atlantic's The Shape of Jazz to Come, and Contemporary Records' Tomorrow Is the Question! and Something Else! (jazz lingo for a musician whose work is highly inventive, as compared to one who is merely "taking care of business"). What the Five Spot audiences heard last week was clearly "something else"-music compounded of wildly asymmetrical melodies, lurching and truncated rhythms, tone colors as varied and highly personal as the sound...
...talking about Bandleader Clyde McCoy, who for years has been regarded by the cool set as perhaps the moldiest fig (jazz lingo for oldfashioned) ever to lift a trumpet. But moldy or not, Trumpeter McCoy has a sizable following, passionately devoted to the chirpy, foot-jiggling style the fans think they remember from the misty corridors of their youth. Last week, after a five-year layoff, "Clyde McCoy and His Waa Waa Dixieland Band" were winding up a successful stand at Manhattan's Roundtable before taking off on a Midwest tour, during which they expect to cash...
