Record i Corner • Jim Berry Easter's fast approaching... ar d as the holiday gets closer.. p ices on many albums are petting lower. Many of the latest top LP’s are being discounted..among them Heat Wave’s “Too Hot To Handle,” „ the “Saturday Night Fever” * double album featuring the Bee Gees, Tavares, andYvoo i ne Elliman, George Benson’s “Weekend in L.A.,” and the new album by Rufus. It’s a good time to keep your eyes peeled...and your wallet handy. Congratulations tothe Soul Shack...The Record Store has been so successful since com ing to Charlotte that it now has opened another store in Col umbia, S.C. More Funk, jazz, and soul should be spread throughout the land. ON THE JAZZ SCENE ... Good things are being said about a new album, featuring Ralph McDonald. It’s entitled The Path,’’ on T.K.REcords. McDonald is not just a dru mmer, he’s a percussionist. I say that because he uses more than just drums to kick out his rhythms and beats. Mc Donald is accompanied by Idris Muhammed on drums and keyboard, the Brecker Brothers and Grover Wash inton Jr. form an impressive horn section, and Eric Gale is featured on guitar. And if that isn’t enough, Pattie Austin and Valerie Simpson chip in with some nice back ground vocals. Highlights on the album include the title cut, and “ Smoke Rings And Wine.” Gato Barbieri’s popular ver sion of ”1 Want You," a Marvin Gaye original, can ■ 1 1 now be obtained on a newly released LP. The name of it is “Caliente,” on AAM Records. Barbien again proves him self as a super sax player, and he has just the right mix of help from other musicians to blend in with him. Some of those musicians include guitarist Dave Spinoz za (who has a fine album of his own out that we mentioned last week), Erie Gale makes another guest appearance on guitar, as do Ralph McDonald and Lenny White on drums. Best cuts on the album are "Europpa," “Fireflies,* and, of course, “I Want You.” And while on the subject of saxophone players...Stanley Turpentine, not to be forgotten or outdone, has delivered a new LP that is worth bearing. it s cauea "west side High way,” and its setting is the westside of New York City. Turrentine is at peak form on “Stan’s Thing,” and also on “Peace of Mind. ” And the ever more popular group,Sea wind has a new jazz release out, too. They call this one “Window of a Child.” This album is a little more sultry in places than those past, but the slight change in style is for the better. Highlights on the album, on CTI Records, are “Wings of Love,’ and “Do Listen To.” SOUL SOUNDS. .. Only a couple of new items., neither of which is very im pressive. I would have to say thumbs down on Bohannon's newest, “On My Way.”..and the same to the Fatback Band’s “Man with a Band” album. More news from the disco scene next_week. Peter Falk To Host “Wild Science” -Peter Falk steps out of his role as a television detective to do investigative work of a different tvpe on “Wild Science," Sunday, March 19 at 4 on WBTV, Channel 3. As host-narrator of the pro gram, Falk takes the veiwer on a voyage into some of the strange and fascinating path ways of science. This is a world wide survey - inside and outside the scientific labora tory - of everything from witch doctors to whales who recover objects from the sea, from chimps who communicate with man to Sierra Madre Indians who run 200 mile footraces wiht ease. Falk also poses some ques tions these discoyeries have raised, and during the pro gram tantilizingly and enter taningly unmasks some of the work. “Wild Science” is an hour of engrossing television....su perlative entertainment built of the stuff that has always challenged and capltured the mind: knowing about the un known... learning about the mysterious...questioning and answres that only lead to efver more questions. . -.1 David Ladd To Guest Star In WSOC-TV Movie David Ladd, husband of Cheryl Ladd of “Charlie’s An gels" and son of the late actor Alan Ladd, guest stars in “Survival on Charter No. 220,” an “Emergengy!” spe cial presentation to be telecast on Channel Nine’s “NBC Sa turday Night at the Movies” March 25 at 9 p.m. Randolph Man tooth, Kevin Tighe, Julie London and Bob by Troup star.
