McGovern gains two delegates in Atlanta
Musical
Truckin's
The 1972 Atlanta Jazz
Festival at Braves’ Stadium was
marked by a relaxed, easy ail
on Friday and Saturday nights
last week as over a score of
artists provided ten hours of
very tasty music.
The highlight of Friday
night’s lineup was a stunning
half-hour set by the Giants of
Jazz Thelonius Monk, Dizzy
Gillespie, Art Blakcy, Kai
Winding. A1 McKibbon, and
Sonny Stitt. B.B. King
electrified the audience and
drew a storm of applause with
an all-too-short set including
his new “Gettin’ Some Help 1
Don’t Need.”
RAY CHARLES’ set was
particularly disappointing. He
held the crowd in his hand for
a moment and then launched
into a long boring talk-jam that
saw over 600 of the crowd
leave in a very short time.
Friday’s bill was rounded
out with fine sets by
Cannonball Addcrly, Charlie
Byrd and Sarah Vaughn.
The Jimmy Smith Jam
Session opened Saturday night
and was followed by a tight
performance from Lou Rawls.
Roberta Flack, the evening’s
darling, gave an evocative set,
again much too short, that led
into an intense excursion by
Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan
and Paul Desmond, the peak
for Saturday night.
The Ike &. Tina Turner Show
arrived barely in time and
broke loose, Tina shouting and
gyrating and Ike throwing off
stinging blues licks to the
crowd’s immense delight.
IT WAS a pleasure to attend
an event managed so smoothly
and to be treated as a human
for once quite unlike the
often abusive rock concerts.
Lynn Friedman, who
handled the Festival for George
Wein, termed the two days
“Very successful” and plans
were announced for another
show next year.
Another collection of Otis
Spann tracks has recently been
released on the Bamaby label,
distributed by Columbia. Also

Lockwood, Jr., “Walking the
Blues’’ is yet another example
of Spann’s brilliance as the
King of Blues Piano. Otis’
piano and vocals are
smoldering and emotion filled
on “It Must Have Been the
Devil’’ and “Evil Ways” as
contrasted with a rather weak
vocal offering by St. Louis
Jimmy on four songs including
“(loin’ Down Slow.”
THIS LP is a must for blues
piano lovers. Those unfamiliar
with Spann’s music *• lould first
try “Otis Span.-> ’ on the
Archive of FoV 'lusic label FS
216, which i. i; a best by far of
the Spann .ms I’ve heard to
date. (Otis Spann, “Walking
the Blues;” Barnaby KZ
31290).
John Hammond’s
performance at Legion Field a
week ago offered an enjoyable
hour of the blues. Hammond
played some nice bottleneck
on his National Steel, blew
pungent riffs on harmonica and
produced an unusual “bass"
effect by stamping the stage
with his left foot. His set
included “Mama Tain’t Long
For Day” from his new album
“I’m Satisfied,” which is a
stone joy. (John Paul
Hammond, "I’m Satisfied;’’
Columbia KC 31318).

ATLANTA A crowd of
over 5,000 braved impending
rains and an hour’s delay to
hear presidential hopeful
George McGovern last Tuesday
on the steps of the state
capitol.
The Senator received a warm
reception that surprised many
observers, some of #hom had
been speculating that
“McGovern could never carry
the South.” As the crowd
enveloped McGovern after the
rally, these same speculators
were scratching their heads in
wonder
Wes Whitehead, previously
uncommitted delegate in the
10th district, opened the rally
with a searing condemnation of
the Nixon administration.
WHITEHEAD. 30. of
Bogart, endorsed McGovern,
claiming “George McGovern is
the man who will do something
about the real problems in this
country.” Whitehead is a
candidate for state
representative in the 10th
district.
He expressed contempt for
the “fat cats and labor fakers”
who sit in “air conditioned
offices talking about the labor
vote,” and claimed a need to
make the government relevant
to the people.
In McGovern’s speech, he
reassured the audience that he
could and would carry the
South in November. He
condemned “Southern
strategy” as the strategy used
“to convince you to vote
against your own main
interests.”
McGovern promised to “put
Nixon on unemployment
compensation in 1973,” a
statement that drew ecstatic
cheers from the partisan
crowd. He condemned Nixon’s
Vietnam policy, claining Nixon
had prolonged the war for four

Collins’Jfltn’s $ear
years, and condemned Nixon’s
economic policy as being
unfair and illogical
MCGOVERNS biggest
punches, and the ones that
most delighted the crowd, were
aimed at the Nixon campaign.
References to the break in of
the Democratic National Party
headquarters, and Nixon’s
evasion of “listing campaign
contributions” drew positive
responses.
Atlanta, as well as the rest of
the South, eagerly welcomed
McGovern, who promised to
return again during the
campaign, leaving spectators
amazed by his obvious success
in an area considered
“anti-McGovern” by most state
politicos.
Due to a delay at the
Hartsfield International
Airport darkness was near
when McGovern, his wife
Eleanor, Whitehead, Ms.
Coretta S. King, State
Representative Julian Bond
and Atlanta Vice-Mayor
Maynard Jackson mounted the
platform.
The crowd, many of whom
had waited nearly three hours
was made up of blacks,
students, workers, elderly
persons and middle class
voters.
MS. KING declined to
speak, however, she was given
an ovation that kept her
standing, waving to the crowd
for several moments.
The wife of slain civil rights
leader Martin Luther King, Jr.,
she has accompanied
McGovern throughout the
country, adding her
endorsement to the others he
has accumulated.
Bond also did not speak, but
his presence on the platform
was effective because most of
the crowd realized the hours of
work Bond had put into
McGovern’s campaign. Bond is
both a delegate for McGovern
and leader of a black coalition
designed to swing the
Democratic nomination to
McGovern.
Actor Warren Beatty has
been raising funds and
campaigning door-to-door with
McGovern and was also in
Atlanta with the Senator.
Beatty was responsible fo r
conceit in Madison Square
Garden that raised a great deal
of campaign funds for the
McGovern operation.
Jackson, a previously
uncommitted delegate to the
Democratic . Convention,
surprised the audience when he
endorsed McGovern and
promised “one more vote in
Miami and in November for
George McGovern.”
