RECORDSJazz

THE STANDARD SONNY ROLLINS (RCA Victor). These are virtuoso saxophone interpretations of supple old standards like I’ll Be Seeing You, Love Letters, Trav’lin’ Light. The unique phrasing that is Sonny’s signature can catch even the aficionado up short, and the tone of the record is witty and ingenious. For contrast, there are a few calmly contemplative moments, notably Night and Day.

SOLO MONK (Columbia). Pianist Thelonious Monk offers greater range and variety—from the simple lyric line to complex, sophisticated jazz—than any other musician playing today. I Should Care is dismembered and recomposed almost chillingly; North of Sunset comes out as old-fashioned blues. He even makes Ruby, My Dear, a song he has played for more than 30 years, sound fresh.

FRIEDRICH GULDA: INEFFABLE (Columbia). One of the few artists with a solid reputation in both classical and jazz piano, Gulda’s second solo jazz record is freer and subtler than his first, but his strength is still dazzling technique. Although Gulda plays as though solving a network of complementary equations, cerebral jazz buffs will find this a rare, stimulating exercise.

LARRY YOUNG: INTO SOMETHIN’ (Blue Note). A jazz organist who can produce a big sound without drowning the listener is a rare man, but Larry Young is deft enough to do it. He can also comment sensitively and even wryly on the instrument most alien to modern jazz.

ANDREW HILL: POINT OF DEPARTURE (Blue Note). This is a highly individualistic combo with a strong visceral sound. The standout is the late saxophonist Eric Dolphy, who easily steals the record from Hill with searingly emotional solos, and stimulates Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Kenny Dorham (trumpet) and Richard Davis (bass). Hill believes in arrangements that give free rein to his musicians’ personalities and their ways of extemporizing; on this disk he has achieved a memorable ensemble.

THE VINTAGE SERIES (RCA Victor) offers classic jazz and blues recordings cleaned up and rereleased. So far, Duke Ellington, Leadbelly, Jelly Roll Morton, Isham Jones and Coleman Hawkins have had a record each. Almost all are performances that have been completely unavailable for two decades or more.

CINEMA

HELP! The Beatles are back—pursued on sea and ski by bloodthirsty Orientals and mad scientists through some of the wildest sight gags this side of the Marx Brothers.

THE COLLECTOR. Samantha Eggar is a rare specimen captured by a demented lepidopterist (Terence Stamp).

RAPTURE. A gloomy farmhousehold on the coast of Brittany harbors an escaped criminal (Dean Stockwell) who fulfills the various needs of an embittered ex-judge (Melvyn Douglas), his otherworldly daughter (Patricia Gozzi), and a bed-minded serving wench (Gunnel Lindblom). The tragic result is a triumph for English Director John Guillermin.

DARLING. Julie Christie’s polished portrayal of the progress of a jet-set jade from obscurity to celebrity is irresistible in Director John Schlesinger’s (Billy Liar) brittle satire.

THE IPCRESS FILE. A counterspy gamely foils a scheme to scramble British brainpower.

SHIP OF FOOLS. Although Director Stanley Kramer has turned the allegorical Ship into a showboat, Vivien Leigh, Lee Marvin, Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner make good company for the long haul.

THE KNACK. Wide-eyed Virgin Rita Tushingham fends off three kooky bachelors, millions of sight gags and reels of New Cinemisms in Richard Lester’sclever look at young Londoners.

THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES. This madcap comedy giddily conjures up a great London-Paris air race of 1910, highlighted by a collection of flap-happy vintage aircraft and an international cast including Alberto Sordi, Gert Frobe, and Terry-Thomas.

BOOKS

Best Reading

NEVER CALL RETREAT, by Bruce Catton. In this final volume of his centennial trilogy, Catton, deservedly the bestselling of Civil War historians, shows the South finally overwhelmed, and analyzes two great leaders: Lincoln, who resisted imposing vindictive penalties on the South, and Lee, who refused to initiate a guerrilla war in the Virginia hills, which could have bled the country dry.

THE LUMINOUS DARKNESS, by Howard Thurman. Dr. Thurman, a Negro and dean emeritus of Boston University’s chapel, considers the changes in attitudes that must accompany civil rights legislation. His essays reflect the experience of a man who has lived through both violence and apathy and has given thought as well as action to the cause of his people.

WARD 7, by Valeriy Tarsis. The Ukrainian writer was railroaded into an insane asylum in 1962 when he published The Bluebottle, a vigorous attack on Soviet tyranny. Not surprisingly, he found that the other patients’ only lunacy was to criticize Khrushchev’s Russia, and now he voices the plight of his fellow inmates.

THOMAS, by Shelley Mydans. A full-dress novel about Thomas Becket emphasizes pomp and pageantry, but also characterizes Becket as serving God as much as King Henry II serves the Devil.

THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS, by Giorgio Bassani. The author was responsible for the posthumous publication of Lampedusa’s The Leopard, and he has learned much from the master. Bassani’s gracefully written novel depicts the elegant, decadent world of a rich Jewish family and its confrontation with Fascism.
