...alto with flute obbligato was sung beautifully and smoothly though with little contrast within each voice. John Ferris, the choirmaster, seems to prefer building with blocks of sound, drawing contrast from combinations of timbre rather than individual efforts within a given part. This is on excellent policy when dealing with an acoustical entity as dry as Memorial Church. In a building that holds over 1000 people and offers no echo, terraced dynamics and antiphonal contrast are the surer path to expressive variety...
...became known as the James Montgomery Blues Band. Some of the songs that band stood by date from G.B. days and have come through the Montgomery Band with Larry to be performed now in the Larry Carsman Band--fans of James will recall the favorite "Some Kind of Wonderful" sung by Larry as well as such classics as "I Feel Good" and "Massin' with the Kid" This is the tradition which the Montgonters band began to leave in the quest for wider audiences and reputation...
...Bobby (Seedy) McPheety, rhythm and lead guitar and vocals, are former members of the Pure Cane, one of those formative, short-lived, lively and little known local bands whose main contribution to posterity has been mountains of coke cans and ashes in the living room and some fine tunes sung and soloed by Bobby in the Carsman Blues Band.

...hosannas sung to it in The Music Man, Gary, Ind., is not one of those garden spots that perennially win community-service awards. Indeed, it is in some aspects the very model of modern urban decay. Founded in 1906 by Industrialist Elbert H. Gary (who judiciously chose not to live there), it sits like an ash heap in the northwest corner of Indiana, a grimy, barren steel town. The sons and daughters of the Poles and Slovaks and Croats, who for generations have worked the foundries, form a decided white minority. Most of the blacks, who make up the town...
...Zeitgeist, there is currently a theatrical flurry of interest in the rugged life of Billie Holiday, the supreme jazz singer who died of the cumulative effects of dope and despair in 1959. Brooklyn's Chelsea Theater last week presented a jazz musical called Lady Day that uses Holiday (sung by Cecelia Norfleet) as a symbol of the ravages that racial repression can work. "Seething with anger, this Lady Day misses all that was funny and spunky in the real woman," said TIME'S Drama Critic T.E. Kalem...
