SAHARA
Johii Coltrane, Jimmy
Garrison, Elvln Jones, (or
Roy Haybes) should be no
stremgers to all of you
black music history buffs.
Certainly you should know
how important .they were
to progressive jazz in the
late 50’s and early 60’s.
“Trane’s” pianist for
six of those years was Me
Coy Tyner. Now the intense,
but subtle and rich sounds
Tyner once laid down with
“Trane” is out front. He
plays with much diversity
and shows something new
since hid last Blue Note
record (“Expansions” BST
84338), along with a change
of label. ' I' ' '
Sahara, -an extended Af-
rican -' Influenced ? .work
which takes up the entire
second side; is an ex
perience in itself. Digging
on the other tracks, you
should check out “Ebony
Queen,” “Valley of Life,”
and “A Prayer for my
Family” “Valley of Life”
gives you the exotic sounds
of KOTO, and it’s bad!!
Sonny Fortune formerly
of Mongo Santa Maria has
not received his due as a
saxophonist or flutist, ne
ither, has A1 Mouzon on
skins, nor Calvin Hill on
bass who round out the
McCoy Quintet. 1
Tyner, surrounded by his
sidemen, accomplishes a
most exceptional sound just
as he once did as he cush
ioned Trane set. And in his
latest, “Sahara” he exhibits
all the creativity exempli
fied in his musical great
ness.

LP: Doug Carn
“Spirit of the New Land”
Black Jazz (4 channel BJQD
8)
Much diversity is shown
in the musical combination
of Doug and Jean Carn, two
greats in the world of con
temporary jazz. Many of you
might remember Doug’s
consistent work on the key
board, and his wife Jean’s
competent vocalizing me
dium on “Infant Eyes” (BJ-
/3).
The spiritual, pensive
sounds of the Cara’s own
creations “My Spirit” and
“Arise and Shine” range
from a mixture of Miles.
* Davis’ “Blue in Green”
and Lee Morgan’s “Search
for a New Land.” But
dealing with the organ, you
should check out Doug in
“Trance Dance.”
In this and their last
' album, Doug has written ly
rics for his wife, Jean.
You Pharoah Sanders and
McCoy Tyner fans can rest
at ease with Charier Tolli-
ner on drums taking care of
“mo” business along with
their regular gigs. The rest
of the gang hangs in, par
ticularly George Harper
’ whose versatility on the
reeds brings to mind, Moody
or Ysef Lateef.
The reason why many of
you may not have heard
of Doug and Jean Carn is
probably because they are
relatively new. The black
Jazz Label is also new
and the Cara’s first L. P.
.“Infant Eyes” was their
■recording debut on this new
label. As these two sub
merge to the top, I can only

Imeh Sunay Akpan
Courtesy B. Martin Pedersen, The American Way
Imeh Sunday Akpan, a 24-year-old African student
at Clark became paralyzed shortly after he came to
to the states to seek an education in September ‘72.
Akpan found himself in a world of financial trou
ble. Being in a totally strange country for the first
time, not being able to get up and find a job to help
his situation and not knowing who to turn to, thought
all his dreams of obtaining aneducation were over.
Paralyzed from the waist down, Akpan has had to
depend upon his friends, Pan-Hellenic Council mem
bers, and other concerned students and faculty mem
bers for means of his getting around on campus. Cer
tain teachers on campus have also made various visits
to his dormitory room seeing if they could help in
education matters as well as personal.
Then suddenly another good thing happened and some
say it was a miracle.
The college reported that a sum of more than 2400
dollars has been given towards Akpan’s tuition. Medi
cal expenses at Grady Memorial Hospital were written
off at 1500 hundred dollars and school insurance paid
the remainder of the bill.
Recently Akpan expressed a need for a telephone in
his.domitory room. WAUC, “The Voice of the Atlanta
University Center,” listened to his request. Seeing
how difficult it would be for him to reach the phone in
his dormitory WAUC, presented a telephone to Akpan.
Lo Jelks, president and general manager of the sta
tion said that the radio station will pay for the bill for
Akpan’s phone the entire school year.
