ATTACKING

"That was what the Roll­in& Stones Circus was ori­ginally conceived as. but we have no one who could really get it together. You need a really big impre­sario.''

Is it possible for him to mvisage a time when a new generation might be attack­ing him os a part of the Establishment?

"No• because 1 don't want any power," said Mick.

" There tS no reason to fight anyone who is not powerful. I don't want any pO\..,er. So no one w ill want to fight me for my power.

" Money doesn' t make pov;er - yoo have to ob­tain it J just buy things with my money which l don't rea11y care about if they are stolen.

' ' l'm used to losing things and having them slip through my fingers. lf some­one came into my house with a gun and took all rny things I wouldn't really give a ----. It's not that important to me.

" J'm not interested in being a shopkeeper, an executive, or a capitalist. I just don't thmk about those things - they're not inter• esting.

" l want to do things like acting which are slightly more creative. I'm not in­terested in creating money - that's a worth less thing. It doesn't make any kind or sense, docs it?"

Mick is more than reti­cent about his acting experi­ence so far, although he did

say he bad seen the final rushes of Performance and managed to contain himself from running out of the theatre during his own efforts.

Old age is not a prospect which Jagger faces with any particular relish. but he does face it.

'' It's more a state of mind than anything else," says Mick " I don't think I shall live to a very old age any­way - J've always had that feeling, but jf you can stop your body falling apart you've won half the battle - degeneration of a physi­ca l nature is half the prob­lem.

" I believe in that adage - 'You are what you eat•. If you eat a coUosal amount of potatoes, you end up IOOKing like one. All lumpy and knobbly kneed.

STARCHY "I'm not a vegetarian or

anything, but I prefer fish to meat and I don't drink milk or eat a Jot of starchy foods."

I asked Jagger, in as serious a DWnntt as l could muster, in view of his great wealth and travelling ex­perience why he chose to live in England and if in the future he intended to stay here. Did he feel any kind of patriotism for England?

"I HO'/ A GREAT AF­FECSHUN FOR DER FAD ERLAND,'" he screamed in Hitlerian tones.

Do yoo think the police are a necessary evil of the futu re?

"Certainl y the evil. If you have an ambulance you a re inviting an accident -i f you have a police force you are inviting crime! "

What does it mean to you to live a n a society where the future seems to be fraught with the subcon­scious reminder that we are all livi ng under the possible sentence of death, courtesy of science?

" English people seem to want less cmd less to stand on their own two feet. They almost like being told what to do a nd they expect to be looked after by the State, but the State is too busy looking after itself.

ger but J would like some­one a little more basic for my thing.''

What kind of musical in­fluences are you under at present which might inspire you for the future?

" I'm listening to Robert Johnson's unreleased album, • Loving Babe' - he was a blues singer who had a very short career. He died in 1937 when he was onJy about twenty-one. He's in­credible-a little diamond.''

Have you ever considered an orchestrated Stones for future tracks?

"l Hked the way the Beatles did it with • Hey Jude' so that the orchestra was not just to cover every­thing up - it was some­thing extra. We may do something like that on the next album.

frightened by the prospect of an atomic war that they refuse to own up about it - it's pushed back into the subconscious and people are encouraged not to think about it, but you cannot ig­nore the fact that there are at least six: countries with atomic missiles pointed at this country.

"The housewife may never think of it, but she must be aware that for this time in the history or man we can blow the whole planet to pieces ourselves.

"The thing that she might well dwell on is that every time she ot I buy a packet of fags we are put­ting money into the hands of those people constructing these bombs and weapons whch are designed to blow us to pieces.

DAVE'S SECRET

It or noL You can have a hundred hit rircords. If yo"' re ne.•t Isn' t what lhe public wants they won' t b11y it. whoever you are.

" You only have to look at the number of top name groups who have m issed out lately to He thaL

" When you start out In this business, there' s • strong el.,. ment of luck. 1r you're race fits and the r.c:ord's not bad. you might be lucky and have • hlL We've had 12 hits now. I always reel our luck must be n1nnlng ouL It can't be that good any more. "

But Dave is • pessimist •nd admits IL The group"s latest, " Don .Juan," Is obviously evok• ing nost•lgic memories of nine days on the Costa Br•v• for m,1ny thousands of Britain's youths . It' s nestling ne,1tly In the MM ' s l"op JO this wuk.

Dave •nd U.e group have reached a seam or pop unex­ploited by anyone else In this country . a sort of pop aif.. vertture story, the " Rover•• and " Hotspur" lmageo in the face of Rolling Stone and International Times. They rep· resent the l•nd of dreamy, C. $. Forester excitement for many.

And Da1,e, • professed theat• rlcal takes the lead in these 2 mlnu'1e 50 second sagas: he's cut a dash as a Regency b1,1ck, whipping up ex­cltemu1t. and played the An· dent Mariner. Now he's the legendary amorist Don .Ju,1n, a not unfitting role.

" It's a funny thing about these th1nqs we do,'' he said. •• Ir we break away from them,

::~ l~~~o~~n¥te~u~':t ~r; h~fs•~•s • Xanadu • or ' Antoinette.' We've tried other things of co11rse, but they don't seem to "appen In the same way; not even in the studios.

•• I think there's a slot in the pop b11slneu that we are fillln9. There's obviously a need for 1hls sort of record •nd we &rt'

the only pc,,ople making the ffl . There' s ,-oom fOf' the bl11es a nd the 11nder9round stuff a nd there' s room for the Tom Jortese5 artd the Engelberts. And the.r•'s also a place for us, Oblflously.

" I wouldn' t say It would be roolbh to change our 5tyle and l1r1a.9e. Bui we ha ve • •ourtd thal a ppe:a/5, not Just lo you ng people, b1.1l to • lot of adul ls as well. W• 9et a lot of older 11-atl• sayh1.e I.he.:, Ilka our reco.-ds and obv1ou11IJ a lol of the.m buy them. We co.,.ld do • big feedback thing, b'"t It wouldn' t be us. And I don't think It would HII either."

The group's n•mboyancy 15 most lllu5trilted by their TY appearances to promote their new slngle5. That'll when Dave's nnH of the•ln •nd drama comes Into play.

.. On • show llke Top Of The Pops, you' ve got two minutes or so lo make an lmpr111ion. I believe you need to do more than just be a group, grinning at the cameras. You've got to

rr::~r~~=,o~~c•;:u-~~er&or1~!e s!~ yourselves and that way, sell the nl!C0rd .

" These d•ys, there are about three TY shows you can do to move the record. If yo11 are lucky lo get all three •nd don't It'll the record on those, yo1o1're down the c.h1.1te. That's why 11'5 50 lmport•nt, becau,e as I've s,1ld, I don't believe tt.at anyone today can have an automatic hit."

With the u:ception of Am e• rlca, D•ve Dee, D011:y, Beaky, Mick and Tlch have broken as a major pop attraction all over the world. 1t•s been a deliberate: policy of the group over the past three years to pro1r1ote themselves abroad

" I think we saw the potential earlier than a lot of groups We U5td lo go off abroad and work for nothing the first trip, Just to 1et the name across; the second time we went we'd get paid; the third time we'd make a lllUe money until we'd bullt a good market ror ourselves all over the place.

"It was a deliberate al1r1; and It worked."

Except in America, " America's a complete mJ5•

tery to me," said Dave. "We just can't get off th• ground there at all.

DIRTY SONGS

As far as l'm concerned, they're clean songs to me. If people think that what goes on between a man and a woman in a bedroom is too obscene to talk about, I've no objec­tion. They can say what they like, but it's not obsecene to me.

CHILDREN

re~. n~te ~a~~s s~n~r!~k err~~ other things; it helps to keep me sane. But I hke children's songs to have a twist to them.

Not long ago I heard some Woody Guthrie children's songs. They were fantastic. I'd never heard them before, but some or mine feel very much like them

There Is a tongue•in•cheek song by Woody that goes " I'll take you for a ride in my car.'' It's sli,::htly ironical.

I'm very interested in this field , and want to do more in ii .

EDEN KANE

He's one of the most "human" beings I know. He's a very strong man in every way - physically and ment­ally. He's very well adjusted.

He'!!! a good singe.. too. He has a fantastic ear for music; neither Clive, my other bro• ther, nor I have got to his level. He is a natural musi­cian. He can play any instru• ment. It's like that story about someone asking a musician if he can play the 'cello, and get­ting the reply: " I don't know -I've never triedO Eden probabaly could play the 'cello!

BOB DYLAN

Somebody once wrote that Bob Dylan was the greatest American poet or today. I would ,::o one stage further Not only is he the greatest American poet: he's the great­est poet or our time.

He represents the times for young people. Bui he doesn't want to get anybody to look up to him as a prophet or ,tod He wants them to do their own thing, to think things out for themselves

JULIE FELIX

Julie has got tn be presented in the right way. You have to l>e in the right mood lo listl.'n to Julie Felix

I st ill th ink she has got a lot to give in her field . A lot

~J h-:r~ Bl~:nirev ~::e ~~f':~~ her sour, which Is good. She's a good person

I don't believe I've got any religion, I was once speaking,

~~na jda:as of a~~d h~ou\ail. "You're a Christian." I don't know, but t have similar ideas to those a Christian has.

t believe in the fellowship of man. I can't believe God as a person or an Omnipotent Being. I don't believe any such Being exists outside of one.

If God exists inside each of us, then He exists in our minds, hearts nnd souls-not outside any body

I'm very sports orientated. I'm actively Involved-not as a competitive thing, but be­cause I enjoy doing it I'm an aficionado

AGENTS

I once had an evil reellni;i. about being managed by anonymous men in black coats I was afraid or what I might be telling myself in for.

But you've got to have an agent to fix things with other people. But an agent should be a friend, too. And that's the agent I've got now -Paddy Malynn.

HIPPIES

I once met a guy who said, " I'm a hippie." He added that he used to be a beatnik away back, hut that he was a hippie now

But it can surelY, br only affection 1f he does so after April 24 . For, by the end of that week, Tony will have been heard by no fewer than 31 million people.

Evan, from time to time FOR TWO YEARS now, the groups resident a t London 's Little Theatre Club ha ve been playing a new kind of free jazz - " group music."

Group music's essential fea tu re is the absence of solo1s tic play ing, bu t none the less it has p roduced a musician w ith a uniqut- sou nd and a pe rsona l reputa tion in sopra no a nd te nor saxophon ist Eva n Pa rker.

Pa rk er, now 24, sta rted taking lessons on alto a t the age of fourteen. "Later I spent four years in Birmingham where 1 was studying botany, trying to sound like John <;oltrane in a quartet of which I even­tuat1y became the leader

"Tht' i:: roup fin is hed when t he bassist a nd the drummer left the country, so 1 came back to London in the summer of 1966.

" 1 went and sat in at the Little Theatre Club with the SME, and shortly afterwards Trevor Watts and John Stevens said I could join

NEW CONTEXT

" When I went from playing time to not playing time 1 began getting my own sound. In this new context J found J simply couldn' t think about Trane any more.

"Al that sta ge the group was moving away from a re-cognisabl y Omette Coleman• type sound towa rds the collective approach. For the first few months it consisted of Trevor (alto), John (percussion), Kenny Wheeler (flugelhorn), Paul Rutherford (trom­bone), Barry Guy (bass), Derek Bai ley (guitar) and myself.

·• Then last summer the numbers went down until only John (who had become the leader) and J were left, Trevor having de­cided to rorm Amalgam.

" The idea of group music had come up by then, but J don't think there had been any change in our playing as a result. It wasn't a case of the concept leading to the music, but the music leading to an awa reness of the concept.

"To me, the idea of group music means music which is free to move in any direc­tion at ·any moment at the instigatmn of any player­and free not to move as well

cords. things began changing again in the same way, and then I decided to leave.

"While I was with the SME we made several good tapes with the different groups, and one particularly beautiful ses­sion with Rashled Ali and Peter Kowald which Trevor organised .

" Since then I've been play• ing on Thursdays at the Little Theatre Club with Derek Bailey and Jamie Muir (per­cussion). Derek had been doing mostly solo sets at the club until he started this trio. but he's probably the best group improviser on the re­cord, while Jamie has such an original approach that it opens up a whole new nnge of musical possibllitles.

Great secrecy surroun­ded the entire project. Most of the American guests came in at two days' notice. Filming went on tor two days at an estimated cost of £100 a minute.

And when will the public 1ee thla 1pectacular on their TV 1creen1?

" Probably never In thl1 country," uld one mu•l­clan taklna part. "'We c.an't even 1et on Top Of

The show Js the brainchild of producer Tom Pa rk in­son and director John Crome of Colour-Tel , the company which recently filmed the Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus and the J imi Hendrix Concert at the Albert Hall.

Says 25-year-old Tom: " We can only do this because the musicians themselves like to work together. We rely on their good­will. Jimi Hendrix was coming to take part but he mi11ed the plane 'from New York.

On Wednesday morn ing they had the MJQ, Jon Hiseman's Collosseum with Buddy Guy, and the Roland Kirk Quartet.

And that was just for break­fast!

" It wasn't the musicians, it was business problems, problems with manage­ment."

Among the crowd was Jon Hiseman, dashing about wilh his wife, tenorist Barbara Thompson.

"Those professional hip­sters are absolutely out of sight," said Jon, point­lnf!. out a small knot of rather obviously dressed " fans " seated at tables and chairs, presumably to give a club atmosphere. " What do they do on their days off? Perhaps they' re a ll clerks."

Jon Hiseman's manager, Colin Richardson, offered a lift in his car, photo­grapher Barrie Wentzell was rounded up from Soho, and we were off, hurtling down the A4 to Staines.

Hitherto, · Staines had seemed a dull town, en­hanced by riverside pubs, a town hall and little else.

Suddenly it became an ex­citing Mecca, a place where it really was all happening, ranking with the Fillmores East And West.

MYSTIC In one tiny cell Steve Stills

was watching a video tape deck playback of Jon Hiseman and Buddy Guy just recorded. Steve look­ing a bit mournful, was later to be seen blowing wah-wah guitar with Miles on bass, producing sounds similar to the mammoth hit album " Su­per Session."

The flnt sight to greet us WH the huge, cheerful figure of Buddy Mlle,, lounging in the doorway, drinking Coke and munch­ing a 11ndwlch.

lt's now 7.15 pm, and ~he studio is hotter chan ever. " Roll sound. All cameras on the clapper board. Okay boys, thank you, take it away."

And Steve Stills wow wows into the blues. This was one of the least success­ful of the almost co'ltin­uous permutations of supersta rs, with Miles playing a simple bass style and an unknown drummer. " They' re not very together," muttered one eminent musician in passing.

But a& they got into "Cross­roads " the thin-faced Stills, long thin hair fall­ing over his eyes, began to rock so much that at 7.35 pm precisely 1 broke my Parker Ballpoint in hair from beating time on a notebook.

8.15 pm - Buddy Miles, Chris Mercer (tenor), Glenn Campbell (steel guitar), Buddy Guy (gui­tar).

This is the other Glenn Campbell, a tiny Ameri­can from the West Coast who wears a huge hat, stomps his left foot and whips up a storm on Nashville steel.

Looking a bit nervous. " Have you got a cigar• ette?"' he asks, while the band are playing "Texas Blues."

9.10 pm - The musicians shuffle around under the lights, the studio popula­tion pack together and strain forward as on to the stand walk Roland Kirk, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ron Burton, Ver­non Martin, Dick Hec.k• stall-Smith, and Jon Hlse­man.

What's going to happen, we wonder?

Comments fly about. " Ro• land Kirk gave Hec.kstall ­Smith a grilling on play­ing two saxes together." "Eric Clapton Jooks wor­ried." "This is either go­ing to be a hell of a noise. or good music."

The muttering fades out and Kirk counts them in . . . " Dang, dang, a dang, dang, dang, dang!" Wham! And they're off like the Grand National.

There's Jon Hiseman charg• ing along at the rear,

punching home the riffs. HeckstaU - Smith solos first on tenor, then tenor and 50prano together. He takes two choruses and makes both of therri count.

Roland solos. Simple stuff for him, but tremendously effective and exciting. An old fashioned word comes to mind - funky.

Eric starts to play, and he's not nervous anymore. Nice guitar sounds, re­spectful to the horns. Neat phrases, nothing flash or boorish.

Jack Bruce's bass steams a Jong with relentless drive as the whole mil­lion dollar band breaks into a wild riff.

From then on, things began to blur at the edges. More jamming went on until midnight and as the mus­icians began to drift b~ck to London, several m1rle it down to the Speakea ;v

band's kit in a wild fury, with Glenn Campbell, David O'List and Chris Mercer trying to be heard above the thunder.

I remember coming back to town with Roland Kirk saying he had enjoyed the blow, but that he thought one or the guys had been out of tune.

He had especia11y enjoyed a blow with Jimi Hendrix at Ronnie Scott's Club earlier in the wPek "Jimi is a blues olayer, man, and not the pop star they're trying to make him."

COUCH remember falling asleep on the stairs outside Mr and Mrs Wenuell's flat, as l had been unable to arouse them at 4 am. I was mercifully dragged in from my tramp-like stupor at 4.30 am and laid to rest on a couch, the last words of a col­league ringing in my ears: .. Roland Kirk is the first super musician."

J POP SINGLES

FLEETWOOD MAC: "The Man Of The World" (Immediate).

" Albatross " was the biggest surprise hit of the year. A blues band at the top of the chart seemed unlikely until one re­membered the trad boom days . The blues boom seems to have gone the same way.

I I must be rewarding_ for the group to obtain a wider audience and recogni­tion in this wa:y_, and their follow up proves as restrained and attractive as their initial breakthrou~h, but with a vocal added

STRAWBERRY JAM: "Per-so-nal-ly,. (Pye). This arrived in a sandwich style container and proves to be some sweet soul music .

St r ings and brass romp happily and the singer sounds like a cross between Paul Jones and Trini Lopez.

The tune will give everybody the pip. JOHN WALKER: u Yesterday's Sun­

shine" (Philips). John goes blue beat and it suits him. Marimba and shuffling drums, plus a soulful vocal chorus could easily get him that elusive hit.

Methinks he has hit on the winning streak at last:

BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS: "You've Made Me So Very Happy " (CBS). Rather naively I tend to think of this as a very good band, somewhat prone to mixing jazz and pop.

So fo rgive me a:; in my youthful enthusi• asm I proclaim this to the world as a beautiful track from their latest album

WILLIJ\M BELL: " Everyday WIii Be Like A Holiday" (Atlantic). There seems to be a bit of a war between soul fans and progressives going on in Mailbag of late.

All around cries of "Aretha Franklin has ruined the Weight" go up. Yet soul

EDDIE FLOYD: •• I've Got To Have You r ~~ve" (Stax). Somewhat throaty vocal-1smg from Floyd as he flips, flops and flie_s with some hot jive. Rather nasty )yrics, but Steve Cropper sounds good m the background.

~ddie says; " I've got to have your loving r ight now,'' as an oik wou ld clamour FLEETWOOD MAC : reached a wider audie nee with " Albatross" for a pint of beer. Surely he could exercise a little rEslraint and ~y: "Look here o ld gi rl , if you could 'jee your way to a little

" yes " or " no '' as the mood takes her and de• pending on the a tt ract ive­ness of his after-shave, thus avoiding a ny un · pleasantness.

NO SURPRISES FROM THE MAC THIS TIME

LAPPING MARY HOPKIN: " Good­

bye" (Apple). A Lennon and McCa rtney song pro­duced by Paul and it sounds devilishly good from the firs t bars. The second bars aren't bad either.

It has a jolly two-beat and even now I am bouncing up and down in my re­viewing deck chair, in danger of spilling a cock­tail Now the sand has got into my sandwiches as Mary sings " doo doo doo" in unison with the lilting guitar, and J can feel the tide lapping at my feet .

Yes, it's a sunshine super record, that brings to mind visions of lanolin shampoo, teeth, sports cars and 2-1-I-N-G the wonderful drink!

KATE: "Shout It,. (CBS). "It is a happy, catchy, clever little song which latches on to you like a limpet" says the greet PR 1n the sky.

~~. I'll go along with that. • • ~uction is cleverly done,

G rn vocalist Hratch 1rabedian

KATHY KIRBY: "I'll Catch The Sun " (Columbia). Busy trying to insert three ten newpences for nineteen cigarettes in a pub machine recently, I was suddenly struck by the thought : "What's hap­pened to our Kath? What we want is a nice emo­tional ballad filled with romance and tender strings."

And like magic ... here ' tis! Ten newpence -I ask vou . It's as dart as Charin& Cross station bookin~ office, in the rush hour.

SYLVIA McNEILL: "The Recipe" (RCA Victor). Singularly groovy drum and guitar intro . to Sylvia's powerful v01ce, that reminds me strange• Jy of Stevie Winwood, make up a bed sock it to me hit.

The beat is slow and heavy, the brass shouting and Sylvia is obvious_ly a girl with success wntten on her soul

Hang-up ending is not as inspired as the intro.

SURGE VANILLA FUDGE: "Shot•

gun" (Atlantic). If you own a block of flats that need demolishing, or a ~mall island you want in-

vadcd, call up the Fudge. The word " heavy " was created for them.

Drums Fl.nd organ surge be­hind a screaming guitar and the singers sound as if they are grappling with the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms at the bottom of New York harbour.

Bullets are useless against them!

HANK B. MARVIN: "Good­night Dick" (Columbia). Hank 8. Marvin is no re­lation to Jiving K. Boots, but the latter could well be the Dick referred to in the title.

The beat is as Army boots marching acr0;,s a corru­gated iron roof, pnd the guitar is fast and furious. Old Hank can still show these new guitar heroes a

thing or two. Very exciting and a hit one

hopes .

DUBLINERS: 0 Navvy Boots " (Major Minor). Ronnie Drew singing " live " at the Albert Hall, the song is about a navvy who kept his boots on too

~~ouit ms~~::-b~~an~:cif being a hit.

Over to folk expert: Lurch• ing Jed Zepplin: •· Well, mdear, he sounds like he's got the microphone up his nose."

PRETTY FLOWER POT MEN: "In A

Moment Of Madness " (Deram). In a moment of

MI\RY HOPKIN/JOHN WI\LKER/WILLIIIM BELL

Quite a pretty noise, with­out being actively offen­sive and one to reign in the chart for .. . let me see ... yes, 214 days t:xactly, excluding Easter Monday.

RIOIIE HAVENS: • Oxford Town" (Bia 1). Richie with jews harp accom­paniment and a bouncing off beat on the Dylan song from " Electric Havens." As a man once said of Johnny Cub, Havens' voice " 1ound1 lived in."

It is obviously better to listen to the Webb•Harris combination fully in suit­able surroundings with a sympathetic aud ience C?f gramophon e music lovers.

Romance sounds awful at J 1.30 in the morning, especially if you have been indulging in An• tiquary, Champagne and Martini , the evening pre­vious.

But twixt midnight and five o'clock, in the company of a romantic host, even the most hardened cynic must admit to being charmed by their work. So forgive me as I down an aspi r in in the sunlight and glower: " Dress and fol-de-rol."

SMASH SAND PEBBLES: "Love

P o w e r '' (Track). Anxious voices occasion­ally bleat plaintively in my telephone earpiece: " I say will you review my record this week? If not J shall go over to IT and OZ." To which I respond, " How would you like a glass of cheap, u n pa I a ta b I e sherry thrown full in you r face?"

But the gentleman rrom Track records, was full of charm when he court­eously called up fo r a review for this ancient reissue of a great old soul record, which could easily be a smash hit.

JOHN WESLEY RYLES: "Kay" (CBS). Shucks, this is the sad story or a man (probably six foot three, with stubble on his chin), who takes his sweetheart (probably six foot three with stubble on her chin), to Nashville (the big city) and loses her to the glitter of show business.

He is left driving a cab through tht! streets, envy­ing happy folks all around.

John is expected here for the Country And Western Festival at Wembley Sta­dium on April 5. By which time he should have had a hit, and we can all cheer "yihaah " together.

EIRE APPARENT: • Rock 'N Roll Band " (Buddah). Produced by Jimi Hen­drix and arranged by Vic

Briggs, this rocks might• ily and sounds like the Tr~ggs in Hamburg in 1965.

The vocals are horribly nasal and may be in­tended as a joke but simply ask for people to swear loudly and snatch the arm off the turntable.

A nasty sound.

FRENCH REVOLlfTION: " Nine THI Five ·• (Decca). If anything could have stopped the horrors of the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror, this sleep inducing inter­lude of stark boredom could easily have seized­up the guillotine workers by lulling them uncon· scious.

JUDY COLLINS: •• Someday Soon" (Elektra). This is Judy Collins month, so the fans a re clamouring.

Stevie Stills plays electric bass, James Burton and Buddy Emmo~s are . on guitars, on this beautiful track from her album " Who Knows Where The Time Goes,'' which should purge the chart of pub singers once and for all ... if it got played.

DISC and MUSIC ECHO

OUT NOW

KEE F HARTLEY : " all valid music changes."

.. AcE~~GN~~!i album," raved the MM Pop Panel last week when faced with the Keef tlartley Band's " Half-breed."

Drummt!r Keef ha<1 his own rea­sons for hooin~ the 3lbum will be

Keef, getting hung up on the big band kick

had been done so often by ex-Mayall sidemen like Ayns• ley Dunbar, Pett'r Green and Eric Clapton that I knew people went saying 1 was just anniher nne cashini m.

" The LP has got to show ~ople that I started the band for _:11uskal. rather 1han just husmess, reasons l\ctua lly I'm not knocked out with it now. I was pleased with it at lhe time, but by the time a

For Lhe album, Ked used hi~ basic line•up of himself (drs), Miller Anderson (gtr, vcls), Spit James (lead gtr) and G_nry Thain (bass gtr) plus his lormt!r organist Peter Dines, Herry Lowther (tpt. vln), Harold Beckeu (tpt), Lyn Dobson (tnr, flute) <md Chris Mercr>r (tr.r). Much of the

I :!I] :I 1J;\','J :J•l:J:• album's success is due fO Low. thcr's arrangements.

" Henry is likf.' an extra member of the group." says Keef ... He works with •is on everything we record and he also writes n lot for the hand I admit that using that line• up for the record has created problems on our gigs. Feople may expect a big band and, of course, we can't do the same versions of the songs that are on the record. Still, on the next album, we hope to use as many as ten or twelve extra musicians.

"My amb,r/on is to l"!o con· certs, taking a big banj on the road. Let the> hig ~and do lhe first set. with Henry leading and then we join them for the sec.und se\. . I've a lways been lnt('re,; tt:d \n hlR bands be• c:ause they are what really started me off in music -Sonny Payne witl-i Count Basie was my first idol.

" Mind yc-u, from a playing point of view, you have to alter your apprc,ach \\ hen you ust !"lorns. You can use dyna• mic:s 3 lot mf'r(' with the lar• ger band. That was one great

lesson I learned from playing with John Mayall when he had the eight.piece. 11 was so diflcrent rrom playing with the original group. Jn the small group you have 10 play so mucn louder and busier be· cause you are trying to achieve the volume or the lar· ger grouo. You can play with much more finesse with a lar· ger bi:,nd because there are other people to fill the gaps."

Keer D.dmits that he has been in0uenced by jazz.men.

" II a group·s musical atti• tude is one of quality and try• ing to gel forward then you can't help being jazz. rnfluenced," he maintains. "It sort of crept up on •.•vcryhody after the Cream and then the Don Ellis Orc:heslrJ. When I first heard th(' Ellis hand I thought-there is a jau or•

longer a great gap between pop and jazz.. Jimi Hendrix was jamming with Roland Kirk al Ronnie Scott's th e other week and I'm sure that if Charles Mingus d id a tour with a group like the Cream It would be an absolute storm with pop rans.
