Local jazz in constant change
The old maxim "The only constant is change” is exemplified
when applied to an art form as volatile as jazz. As expected,
much has transpired within the jazz scene since the last
installment of Jazz Notes more than three months ago At the
local level, jazz enjoyed a strange but steady patronage from the
handful of afficianados who stayed in Athens through the
summer
As spring quarter ended, there were three jazz bands extant in
Athens Metaphor. The Bill Mizelle Quintet and Cool Breeze.
Restaurants such as The Prime Time and The Chameleon booked
these groups pretty steadily and there were occasional gigs at
Tne Last Resort. Somebody's Uptown and at Hoagies. With the
advent of thunderstorm season, the state of jazz in Athens took a
drastic turn
Mizelle’s quintet headed for Atlanta where steady gigs were
the dieam but a dearth of employment the reality Though Tom
Hanson remember "The World’s Worst Jazz Band”?) rejoined
the group after a stay in Virginia, bookings were few and far

between. At press time, guitarist Rick Peacock is gigging at
various cocktail lounges in Atlanta. Billy Wittmeir is back in
Athens a freelance percussionist and Mizelle, bassisl Jim Hawes
and pianist Hanson have formed a quartet christened 'Cold
Front” in Atlanta Wittmeir, contacted al his home, sounded
optimistic about forming a quartet with Jerry Pagano, a local
trombone player.
The Metaphor metamorphosis was responsible for the steadiest
jazz during the past quarter year The beginning of June found
them playing Monday nights at Hoagies but as the summer
progressed they moved out to The Prime Time where they were
a permanent weekend fixture. Fleedman Mike Cogen split to see
America and trumpet whiz Mike Holton disbanded Cooi Breeze to
join Metaphor.
With Holton in the ranks, Metaphor sounded like a million
dollars. Keith Runfola on drums and Chuck Harvey on bass were
the only original members and were joined by Chris Broadhurst
on piano and Pete Hester on guitar The group s repetoire ranges
from standards like “Satin Doll." “St, Thomas” and "My
Favorite Things” to more modern compositions like
"Sunflower,” "Maiden Voyage" and "Spain " A normal set
paralleled the evolution of a typical weekend blowout starting out
smooth and mellow and turning into something free and kinetic
There was dancing between (and on) the tables
Holten left for a teaching position near Brunswick, Ga., towards
the end of the summer and Tom Runfola has recently joined on
alto sax. Metaphor has gone through yet another change but the
jazz produced is consistently the most polished in town these
days.
Some new faces have been appearing recently. The John Doe
Jazz Band, a quartet from Augusta, has played Somebody’s
Uptown, The Chameleon and most recently The Last Resort, to
enthusiastic audiences The band alternates between jazz classics
and original compositions by the leader, guitarist Raymond
Collings. Collings is joined by David L'Heureux on drums. Ed
Fuqua on bass and Cantinc Jones on tenor, alto and soprano
saxes, flute and clarinet Jones, a teacher in Augusta, is
a member of the Augusta Symphony and could have fathered the
rest of the band. John Doe presents an interesting aural and
visual montage when performing and should be frequent visitors
'.o the Classic City
All of a sudden, Atlanta has become somewhat of a jazz Mecca.
The Jazz Form of Atlanta, a non-profit community organization
dedicated to the promotion of jazz, will celebrate its first
annivesary shortly. This group is responsible for occasional
record auctions, free concerts in various parks and a recent
tribute to the reknowned pianist Duke Pearson who recorded for
Blue Note in the Sixties and gave Flora Purim her firsi "break,"
but is now confined to a wheel chair with multiple sclerosis.
There were some hot concerts in Atlanta the past few months.
Mccoy Tyner, once with Coltrane and now the king of acoustic
jazz piano, and Horace Silver, another keyboard immortal, both
appeared at The Midtown Pub and Jan Hammer brought his
fusion band to the Music Hall. The highpoint of the summer was
the historic appearance of the VSOP tour at the Fox Theatre
Formed for the 1976 Newport Jazz Festival as a tribute to
Miles Davis, this group is now affectionately known as the
Quintet and is composed of five jazz masters whose careers span
close to three decades. The sight of Freddie Hubbard (trumpet
and flugelhorn), Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums).
Wayne Shorter (tenor and soprano saxes) and Herbie Hancock
(piano) on the same stage was awesome.
All but Hubbard played with Miles and each was a catalyst in
the evolutionary process of jazz from I960 to the present.
Together their solo careers and albums present an impressive
and cohesive picture of where jazz was during the Sixties and J
each is producing two albums per year oday. In addition,
Hancock formed and led The Headhunters, Shorter formed the
most cosmopolitan jazz band ever. Weather Report, and Tony
W’illiams is the driving force behind Lifetime.
At its inception. VSOP was exactly what the initials stand for,
a Very Special Onetime Performance. Someone was smart
enough to realize that a VSOP tour—limited though it was to 12
cities would provide jazz in America with a much needed boost. *
Tile set was limited to what appeared on the contract, 75
minutes, but what trar. ipired during those 75 minutes under the
starry ceiling of the Fox was jazz history in the flesh. Old songs
like "81” and “Maiden Voyage” were performed with a
semblance of their original selves but more importantly, the
knowledge, experiences and changes of 15 years gave the music
a relevant and modern quality absent in most of the
crossover-jazz being marketed today. The only constant is
change
Leukemia.
It’s no longer
a death sentence.
When you were young, no form of
cancer terrified your parents more than
leukemia did.
Just fifteen years ago, a child with
leukemia could expect to live only months.
But, thanks to research, things have
changed.
Children who once lived months are
now living years. Many of them are grow
ing up. Some are already adults, living
normal lives.
Did you ever wonder what the
American Cancer Society did with the
money you gave us? Well, some of it went
to leukemia research. And, if we had more
we could do more. Give to the American
Cancer Society.
