Dushoff said that he accedes to nearly all requests from tal ent, whether reasonable or oth erwise. He said that he gave The Four Tops, another Motown act, four days off when they re quested it during an engagement some time ago. Basie-Vaughan Turned Jazz Show i * Into Spectacular Sunday night the "Sound* of Summer," a new NET television aeries, (canning musical activity around the country, visited the Crtsoent City and placed viewers front row center at the second an nual New Orleans Interna tional Jaa Festival Although doiens of artists formed the bill and were an nounced for the two-hour pro gram, it proved basically a showcase for the Count Basie Orchestra and the "Devine" Sarah Vaughan. And as a showcase for these two it was special, even spectacular. Hosted by Steve Allen, the program suffered from stilted camera work, relying almost comoletely on the close-up. (Oddly enough reports from New 0.-leans damned the ex cessive TV equipment in volved in the recording of the program.) Except! for an oc casional overhead shot to cap ture a drummer's choreography, the now stan dard "audience" shots or a slow mo'ion dissolve between cameras, there was nothing technically stimulating about the presentation. The show left the stage a couple of times, a good idea never t'eveloped. Allen's com ments added nothing for buff or beginner. A shot of pre f estiva; street parading brought an Allen explanation of jazz's roots. Street Bands He said while we can't pin point the actual creation of the music, we do know its myriad sources and we do know that insurance companies in turn of-the-century New Orleans provided street bands for funerals The dead were wail ed to the cemeteries and the funeral processions were then regaled by happy music on the walk back into the French Quarter. These bands were the first groupings of "jass men." Jazz traveled far in the subse quent decades and it was a natural for the program to then seque into a full - blown set by the Basie band on stage. Basie sums up jazz's journey. His band is still a remarkable instrument, as simple as the piano of it* leader, as fluid as the remarkable sidemen especially the use of sax ophones in ensemble and solo as disciplined as the con trolled beat of such Neal Hefti gems as "Cute" and "Li'l Dtrlin", as subtle as the build on the old standards Basie loves. Sunday night's revelation though was Sarah Vaughan. And I think it as a com mentary on jazz that many qf us were surprised by her im pact. Sad, because she should never have faded from the jazz scene. Sad, because her appearances Sunday proved unquestionably that she's reached her majority as an artist and many of us hadn't even realized it or remembered it. The rich voice is richer, more mature, undimmed (the range) by time. Sunday she was magnificent. Her vibrato, remarkable, as well as her firm, lower register with its almost sexual throb; the im peccable upper register touches. Never has she sound ed better. Surely no more than two or three women are her equal in jazz today. SEATTLE Jack Schalow, coach of frosh basket ball at Seattle University for two seasons, has resigned to become an assistant c o a c h at Duke the Seattle school reported Tuesday. Isley Bros. to D Saturday at Yankee NEW YORK - The Isley Brothers have announced that they will present their "First Soul Brothers Summer Music Festival" at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, June 21. A substan tial percentage of the gate will be donated to the Minisink Women's Corp., which sponsors the famed Camp Minisink for underprivileged Blacks, and the Bivins Fund, an educational fund formed by the Amsterdam News in honor of a member of New York's Black community San Jose to Compete Despite NCAA Decision KNOXVILLE, \enn. The NCAA charged Tutsdav that nine schools violated track rules by allowing athletes parti cipate in uncertified meets. But San Joee State and Louisiana State— Hid schools in volved—said they plan to com pete in the NCAA track and field championships anyway. ■ San Jose State, triggered by controversial sprinter John Car-i los and Olympic champion Lee Evans, is one of the favorites for the team title in the NCAA meet that starts Thursday on the Tennessee track. Louisiana f. : 4 Sarah Vaughan Back in the Fifties when Sarah toured with Basie (including a stop in Raleigh), she was already knows for one of the most beautiful voices anywhere. It was enough for her to sing straight to open up any ballad she might select. And in the years after she left Earl "Fatha" Hines* band (as second pianist!) she was Ella's most consistent rival. When she fell into disfavor or drifted into memory was the question prompted by the New Orleans telecast. I have no answers, except my own reasons for turning to other singers a decade ago: the woman entered a period of in tense stylization. Her ex tremes sometimes bordered on the melodramatic. And rarely did the honest emotion well up as it did Sunday in a "Time After Time" or the poignant "Lover Man." She seemed for a while back then to eschew certain facets of her art. I didn't realize her fine ability as a scat singer. (Wonderful, hilarious phrase trading Sunday with Clark Terry.) Wasted Time Too little attention was spent Sunday on other ac tivities associated with the festival. (Would there had been more segments like the seminar on the blues ry.) Wasted time I thought for uninspired or routine ap pearances by Dizzy Gillespie and Gerry Mulligan. And a needless salute to non-jazz in the person 'of Marian Love (?), who spoke, whispered, hummed, and vibrato4d to death every song she aang in her flat little voice. The Emmys followed at 10 p.m. TV's 21st annual awards orgy could be covered ade quately in that one sentence, but it's a slow week so more Wednesday. OJ to Play At Atlan If Insure HOLLYWOOD All- American 0. J. Simpson said Tuesday he would like to play in thp Coaches' All-Star football game in Atlanta June 28 with one large provision. "Some sort of insurance against possible injuries have to be set up," said Heisman Trophy winner Simpson. "We'll be talking to the Atlanta people in a day or two to see what can be set up."
