I ENTERTAINMENT MOOD (Continued from page 14) with a thorough delight in keeping close to melody. The result is an exceptionally pleasant album of show tunes, very well recorded, which allows for conversation as well as listening. The beat is always there, the sound is jazz, and the net effect is broad audience appeal. The Jazz Pickers is one of those tightly arranged albums with the subdued sounds of 'cello, vibes, and flute in a series of neat and lightly swinging numbers. Red Norvo is still inventive after almost two decades as a jazz soloist, and the music is still sufficiently jazz flavored to warrant attention. The Lennie Niehaus album offers that sturdy alto soloist from Stan Kenton's band in selections by two groups. On Leroy Vinnegar, one of the best of the California bassists, has deep, vital pulse in his playing and his album efforts indicate real work and planning. H ere, he has assembled a group featuring three excellent soloists-trumpeter Gerald Wilson, a long-neglected jazzman; tenor Teddy Edwards, also unaccountably overlooked in recent years; and pianist Carl Perkins, whose fine, deeply moving style will be heard no more. He died early this year. For these men, Vinnegar has provided neatly mapped out arrangements by vibist Victor Feldman, interspersed with "head," or on-the-spot, arrangements by the whole group. Organization is the by-word here, but never to the detriment of free inl- , provisation by the soloists. This is a superior album in all respects and indicates that the West Coast is undergoing a change in its musical concepts. The third album (from Sweden ) displays the clarinet and alto technique of Arne Domnerus, a fine jazz player whose clarinet style seems to be more authentically jazz than that of Jimmy Giuffre and definitely more logical and arrestingly alive than of either Tony Scott or Buddy DeFranco. He has more in common with Johnny D odds than anyone since Goodman and a remarkable feeling for the blues. On alto, he is alternately under the spell of Parker and Desmond, but still manages to remain individual. And at all times, including the two large band tracks, the Swedes do swing. Turning to the other LPs, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers are in a surprisingly quiet, ahnost lyric, mood despite the album title, Hm'd Drive; the solos by trumpeter B. Hardman and tenor J. Griffin are clean and logical, and the piano of Junior Mance, heard on most of the tracks, is vibrantly alive to tl1e blues possibilities. JULY 1958 one, the late Bob Gordon is heard on baritone, on the other, Pepper Adams, the recent baritone poll winner, is feahlfed. It is with the second group that Niehaus escapes from the baSically cold style that has marked most of his work to blow emotionally more satisfying jazz than is usually heard from him. R. J. G.

There are seven tracks to this LP and Lewis is heard in four settings: on one track, Harlequin, he is accompanied only by drums; the accompaniment on the others occasionally includes bass, and always one or the other of the two guitarists. However, the dominating voice is Lewis's and the bulk of the numbers are his own compositions. As pianist, Lewis displays that same stately elegance that has become the trademark of the Modern Jazz Quartet. There is the lyricism, the close tie to the blues that Lewis brings to everything he does. I was particularly struck by the Similarity in emotional content between Lewis and the guitarists, but it is on D & E, his wonderfully moving blues, that he sounds best in a jazz sense. R. J. G.
