The flugel horn is fast becoming an ‘inthing,’ and many of the artists who have slunk in the background for years are beginning to take advantage of this new opportunity for upward mobility in the world of music and musicians. Shake Keane does not plan to be left out. He steps out of the background and into the spotlight with a London phase 4 recording entitled DIG IT!. The beginning - a brazen version of “Bend Me, Shape Me.” Then a stylized rendition of Jim Webb's “By The Time I Get to Phoenix” that has to be called ‘soft." And “Green Onions” played by Keane at his best. “Soul 5>erenade” just keeps on keeping on as Keane explores the limits of his horn’s range. “As Tears Go By” is as smooth and as sentimental as you could ask for, and Keane gives Bobby llebb’s “Sunny” a more-than-fair treatment. Side two begins with Keane “Goin’ Out of My Head” with his horn. Then he runs through the chords of “Honey.” Even one who doesn’t like the song has to appreciate the artistry involved. “Chain of Fools” is pretty classy, and so is “Make Like Shake.” The Latter is really close to ‘hard rock,’ and Keane brings it off quite well. “World” is about 3:39 of fine John Barry material. It could be better, but it’s not bad. The album closes out with strains of “Love Is Blue,” hut Keane, accompanied by a sharp harpsichord, doesn’t really have to strain on it. The strings in the background orchestra do an especially good job on this number. As the music fads away. Shake Keane fades back into ii.i’ nrrhestra. Gone, but never to be forgotten. Dig it? Jozz Jam Jewell Michel Legrand is a composer, arranger, pianist, and romanticist. The thing that makes him so special is that he does them all at once. His latest recording, MICHEL LEGRAND AT SHELLY’S MANNE HOLE, is proof positive that Michel Legrand does all these things well. The bass and drums are armed by Ray Brown and Shelly Mann, respectively. Thus the name of the first selection - “The Grand Brown Man,” This is jazz at its ‘real” best, played to a live audience in a jam situation. Some of it is pure, too pure for anyone but the dyed-in-the-wool pusists, but the rest of the record just borders on the abstract. There's nothing more to say about the trio's treatment of Mandel’s “A Time for Love” other than that the song was written to be played by Michel, and well he deserves the honor. It sticks with you as one of the most romantic of Legrand’s romantic ventures. “Ray’s RifC’ is another product of the jam. It’s rather fact-moving. “Watch What Happens” and he and lus comrades do just that in this improptu arrangement. Ray and Michel really string it out here. Wiat can a jazz trio do for Rogers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine”? Plenty! Michel docs one of his rare vocals on this cut. and he can really sing jazz. Makes one wonder why he doesn't do it more often.... He’s not scat-singing, but it’s close. His performance on this song more than slightly resembles his sister Catherine. At the end of the tune, Michel’s “piano and voice,” according to Leonard Feather, “move together in unpremeditated unison lines.” “Another Blues” is lull of outside harmonic interpretations that are reminescent of Brubcck. I'hc focal point of the disc is “Willow Weep for Me.” The boys come on slowly, led by Ray’s sterling intro. Then Michel picks up and gives the composition continuity. The magnitude is left up to Shelly, and he does it richly. One solo segment by Ray is probably the best he’s ever played. I’m sure he didn't know he was (is) that good. The mood is melancholy and Ray cuts it off lightly. The demoument is an improvisation entitled “Los Gatos." It is rather Mediterranean and feline. A line ending to a line album. I’his live recording is a must for any modern jazz collection. I recommend it highly. rwi • • 1rivia (CoiitiiiiiccI from I’cigc 2) will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can. using for nry defense the oirly arms I allow myself to use- silence, exile, and cunning."

But you may be about to blow your life A. n astonishing number of people make a stupid and tragic mistake. To put it simply, they jump into careers without really looking. 'I'he result—a dreary life of frustration and anger. Can this happen to you? Could be—unless you can answer ques tions like these to your own satis faction before you make your move: Are you really a Chief...or an Indian? Do you belong in a big organi zation? Or a small one? Or do you belong by yourself? ('an you really stand pressure? There are a great many serious questions you must ask—and an swer—about a career. But the most critical are the ones you ask your self about you. Unless you can an swer them honestly, it makes little sense to ask, for example, “What’s it really like to be an investment banker?” CARfcERS Today can tell you what it’s like to be an investment banker.
