Courteous driving on the high ways i.s a virtue some people ex pect others to have. ROME, GEOIIOIA none and bad roads tor all. Well, as you can readilv tell, we've iust turned from a brief sojourn at the Georeia home of roommate J. V. Stokes, converted Cracker, late of Massachusetts. It all started at lunch on April 12 in Harry's, home of local beatnik politicians like us, when Stokes said out of a clear blue sky "why don't ya drive me to Georgia this afternoon?'' Impulsive youngster that I am. I responded. "What the hell, why not?" It was the first time in 21 months I'd been m the Peach State (we also got into Alabama) and nothing had really changed. Aside from a little Il&R. rest and recuperation. I wanted to make a first hand comparison of some other southern states with old Tar Heelia. Returning to Chapel Hill, it is again obvious there are better places to live than Georgia, and that North Carolina is one of these. For the student who has never been to Geor gia, one can only say that almost everything you've heard is true. Mind you not all. but most. The first thing that bugs you are the roads. Skipping along over 400 miles of Georgia roads, we can safely say the smoothest surface upon which we traveled was a driveway. United States highways in the north ern sector of that state are roughly (and we mean roughly) comparable to East Rosemary St. The road running in front of South Building is 'not only smoother, but also wider than any two lane road we saw there. In comparison to the Georgia scene were the roads in Alabama and South Carolina, for the most part, equal to anything we have here in .C. In the field of highways. Georgia reverses the old maxim about the oasis in a desert. It is a desert in an oasis. . With our long interest in state politics, any state polities, we naturally worked conversations around to this subject. About the first thing you notice in Georgia is a political apathy as compared to the natural interest North Carolinians take in their governmental affairs. . One Georgian remarked. "There's only one issue in any gubernatorial campaign here. That's the issue of the Negro and what to da with the racial problem. The man that promises the most extreme separation program is invariably the vvin- n -r. Another said, 'The Georgia State Legislature jpends most of each session thinking up plans to keep the races segregated from one another. On the last three or four days of each session thev pass better than half of the total business brought before them. Then at the next session, because they acted in a quick manner at the end of the last one, they waste a lot of time rescinding that which they passed the previous year." . is Alabama's new Governor. John PattPr.nn somewhat of an egotist. All of the roaH crL iL ing into that state have been changed from the days of Kissin' Jim Folsom the last chief execu tive. They say: WELCOME TO ALABAMA. JOHN PATTERSON GOVERNOR. As many faults as Folsom had, he never plas tered his name around in such a manner. And speaking of the colorful Folsom, one must remem ber his classic statement on keeping women in line: KEEP 'EM BAREFOOTED ANT) PREGNANT. Some say ol' Kissin? Jim might run againthis next time. Despite some ol Georgia's more obvious short comings, there are a lot of virtues down thar. The first of these is America's most courageous journalist, the Editor of the Atlanta Constitution Ralph McGill. In his daily front page column in that paper, McGill has been a bastion of strength in an ocean of confusion and hypocriey. Twicein the short time we were there, McGill aroused the (lander of violent racists with his pointed pen. Constitution is certainly the correct name for the paper which has him, for he believes in the law and its interpretation by the courts. Although a lifelong southernor, McGill has stood almos alone in his demands that Georgia public schools must remain open. That is he was almost alone till this last week when a public opinion poll showed that 72 of the Atlanta Bar Assn. was in favor of keeping that city's schools open even at the cost of limited in tegration. For McGill, this represents a victory'. For Geor gia, this signals the partial destruction of an im moral barrier. o o 2 fAi uir. Z A r7 A -21 I INTERESTED IN PEDIATRICS.

D X U .0 Gary Soucie Jazz Technique To my mind, jazz is first and foremost an art form : secondly, and only secondly, it is an entertain ment medium, a branch of show business. I'm not trying to be a purist, biU I think it's -about time we start waking up to this fact and refocusing our vi sions of jazz music and jazz musicians. Jazz is something more than "that music" which is associated in the public eye with tasteless concert tour, the urban Negro and his pale imitators, pan demonic TV shows, college prcms, sleezy basement or second-story dives, juvenile delinquency, narcotics addiction, summer three-ring musical circuses, and curious West Coast poets. There is a varying amount of truth in all these assertions, but jazz is so much mere! The public has two main jazz stereotypes. The first is the ignorant, loud, grinning, sweating, eye rollirg Uncle Tom of Dixieland; the other " is the bearded, bereted, horn rimmed, heroin addicted, stand-offish. seiA'-educated. hip talking "progressive" musician. Certain musicians, it is true, have done very lt;le to help dispel these notions, but the vicious and sensatiorulistic American press has more than begged the question on these issues. The average contemporai y jazz musician is no such freak. He is a serious, well trained and highly com petent technician dedicated to his work and whose artjsrry's worth, Ln the jazz sense, is dependent upon how much he has of a quality called "soul." Twenty and thirty yeans ago the jazz musician was a relatively unsophisticated and luitrained performer whose playing came from the heart, but today this is ret the case, though there are some rare excep tions like Errol G-ar.ter, who docs net read music and has never had piano lessen one. In the days of Dixie land and swing, a musician needed nclhing more than a hrrn r.; d he bare essentials cf playing it, a good lip 1 c: ft -ling for the blues, the ability to do with out sh p. n:d a huge capacity for. gin. The music ::s ". ' r- enough th.it it wasn't necessary to h .ve n: ': background in musical theory, but all th's e dt t v i ii the first bop sessions in Minton's and to- 0-jx C "!. S ne ye;; s earlier Duke Ellington's Jimmy Blan t l ! ad initi ?d n wholly new concept of virtuoso j '.? cato bass playing, and Charlie Christian had ome up out f Oklahoma City playing a radically - rent kind cf guitar, but the music as a whole dii n't undergo its great change until the bop revolt ol tiu Forties. I have neither the space nor the background ne c sary fo go into the technical details of the hundreds r changes brought about in instrumental technique :a d musical theory, so it mint suffice for me to say that the progenitors of bop created a major upheaval i i the jazz world. Musicians were forced to look long rod hard at their playing and adjust to the new con cepts. Today's jazz is the spawn cf this revolt, which was so abrupt that it created a schism within jazz that has yet to be truly repaired. Musicians on both sides, traditional and progressive, became contemptuous of one another and tossed around accusations' of com munism and fascism. But that was some sixteen years ago anj jazz has made many strides since; elements that in 194 were called iconoclastic are to day so old hat that they have been abandoned by the jazz musicians and adopted by such retrcgressives as Guy Lombardo, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Jose MelLs. Many jazz musicians have received instrumental training at the great music conservatories of the world, or in universities, or in private study with various teachers. Jazz musicians have even taught classical musicians, as when Harry Edison, an ex Basie sideman, and Rafael Mendez traded lessons. The end result of this intensive instrumental train ing is that now the jazzman is a highly competent technician with mere than a cursory knowledge of what goes on in classical music. BUI Russo, a former Kenton trombonist and ar ranger who has almost completely abandoned jazz for the symphonic field, last spring wrote "Symphony No. 2, The Titans," which was performed by the New Ycrk Philharmonic Orchestra. Fellow ex-Ken-tonite Maynard Ferguson had to be called in to play the high trumpet part since, as Russo put it, "none of the Philharmonic horn men could possibly play it." The classical critics a.e particularly unaware of the great technical advances that have been made in re cent years by jazz musicians, and were accordingly astounded by Ferguson's work. The NY Herald Tribune review said, "Mr. Fergu son either has a lip cf rock, or else he was using a mouthpiece with a bore the size of a sipping straw. Such sounds as he produced are nowhere in the trum pet regis 'er; how he made them is a secret he alone knows." Oh, but Roy Eldridge, Cat Anderson, Pete Candcli, and several ethers, including 22-yearold Bocker Little, could inform this critic. Drummer Osie Johnson was entertaining some con cert mus'cians in his home one evening and when he played a Charlie Parker record for them they in sisted that h? was playing the record on the wrong speed shce none of them could imagine how so manv notes cou'd be articulated so rapidly at such a fast tempo. (The record was on the right speed.) Max Roach la-t summer played a concert at the Music Inn in the Berkshircs with the percussion en semble of the Bcston Symphony, which was recorded on EmArcy Re-crris. On the albumn's liner notes ner cnss:rn direct' r Harc'd Farberman made note of ho amazed he and his fellow classical percussicnis's were tn-t Mnx cut the concert perfectly without having seen the score beforehand. However, Mr. Farberman was awa e enough of modern jazz techniques to right ly nete that all advaie-tw in 'he field of percussion h t ie pa'- twenty years have been made In- jazz drum mer,. Charles Mirus, the basest and composer h vs earned en the virtuo work of Jimmy Blanton o well tha his playing hr-s bren likened to that of clas sical guitarist Andres Segovia. Alth-uvh jazz and classical musicians are about n even rr basis, regarding the technical merits of irdivtdual instrumentalist as a whole, the jazz men re far superior in section work. Very few symphonv orches'ras con bast the precision section work of iazz sections like Base's brass section, or Ellington's -eeds. The better editions of the Stan Kenton and Woody Herman bands have had this precision too In the Modern Jazz Quartet the excellent chamber music groups have at last fcund their peer To be sure, the concert violinists have no challengers in jazz, but there have been less than a half dozen viol inists in jazz entire history.
