LATEST IN JAZZ Music Scene LP: McCoy Tyner - Milestone (MSP)go39 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. Peace Plat (CPS) -- Richard Ni xon did have a secret peace plan in 1968, Daring the president tlal, campaign, Nixon told Richard Whalen, one of his speechwritersf *T*ve come to the con* elusion that there’s no way to win the war. But: we can’t say that, of - course, In fact, we have to seem to say the oppoo- site, just to keep some degree of bargaining le verage.” ABORTION information, PREGNANCY TEST AVAILABLE An Abortion can be arranged within 24 hours You can return home the same day you leave. MUSIC SCENE 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.

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.
