MANFRED MANN have called it a day! The group which has had hit after hit over the past five years finally disbanded this week as a pop group.

The news leaked out exclusively to MM this ~ek that Manfred Mann - Manfred , Mik e Hugg,

Mike D'Abo, Tom McC,,,nness and Klaus Voorn,an - had amicably •rreed to part company and .. their separate ways.

Finished The group ceases to exist as ot today (Thursday). Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg have formed •

new band (formerly called Emanon) which will have the working title of Ma nfred Mann Chapter Three (Paul Jones was Chapter One, Michael D'Abo was Chapter Two).

The MM understands that no other member of the Mantreds pop group will be directly associ­ated with Chapter Three,

" The pop group side of Manfred Mann is finished and every mem ­ber of the group is pleased that it is ," said Manfred . u There was nobody trying to hold it together.

Chance " None of us wanted

to feel in a few yean time that the only tftin1 we had done musically was make a few pleas.ant hit records, We are 1iv­in1 up definite auccns and chancin1 our arms. If we fail, at lult we can uy we trietl."

I didn't thtnk it would be, but box office takings prove me wrong and I said so.

reports from Hollywood

Graham Nash is alive and well CRAHAM William

Nash , ex Blackpool , Salford and Marble Arch , ex-Hollies, ex­M 1 up-a nd -downer, has settled down for t he time being, any­way, in a secluded, mos tly w ooded co t ­tage in La ure l Ca n­yon , Hollywood .

And 1s alive and qu1le content wilh his new ba nd, Crosby, Stills And Nash An ex-Byrd, an ex­Buffalo Springfield and nn ex-Hollie.

W hich is exactly how thei r first album sounds, a fusion of these three super Rroups - unbeliev ­able vocals with 1hei 1/

o w n g r ooving m• strumental sounds, aided only by their drummer, Dallas Taylor

Crosby - n more beautiru\ kind of person and singer lhan he was as a Byrd

Still s - a q uie tl y tempera­mental genu1s m a self­involved way

And Nash - longe r-ha ired, thinner and hea lthier tha n a s a Holli e.

W ith mo re freedom than exper ienced with the Dylan album - or • bus t Ho llies. Yet para• doxica ll y, he'd jus t come back from an evening with Bob Dy la n in Nash­vill e when I met up w ith h im last week a t the cottage, high a bove the Los Ange les smog

" I went down to the ta p mg of t he Jo hnny Cash spc• cia l with Joni Mi tc hell , a nd Dy la n was on the show," he expla in ed " Afterwa rds, we all went to dinner - Cash , Dy lan , June Carter, Joni and me - and then passed a guitar around the table. Everybody singing for and with everybody else

.. Which may look as if J was fooling when I said J quit the Hollies because of t he • Sing Dylan ' album . It was just that 1 knew they would tum his songs into big com• mercial rock-riffed, hit­singl e- type album tracks . " I dig Dylan, man, but this _ to me - is not how you treat his songs."

I told Nash of the Hollies' success in the MM album chart with the Dylan LP

·• Great, good. I'm happy for them. And I'm happy for Terry Sylvester - he's a good lad I heard the album in London at Easter. Tony Hicks played 1t me, a nd I think Ron Richards has dont> a grea_t_ Joh in the produc­tion

Back to the Crosby, Still s and Nash album, which Graham put on the 11tereo

For atmosphere lovers, we listened by candle hght Two pur.sy-cats per· fvrmed acrobatic miracles

• • •

up a nd down the s ta irs leading to the cottage's ga ll ery. Joni Mitchell - a ~entl e and simple but far• from-dumb folk singer performed culirary mir• acles with a ~te\.\- in the kitchen

"I suppose I'm about 90 per cent happy with it. You know, a few things could have been tight · ened or remixed, but you have to call 11 ha-It somewhere."

It is paced out like a concert, wi th rock open­ing and closing on b~th sides. The whole thing kicks off with ·• Suite- J," seven and a ha lf minutes long, which is rea ll y fou r Stil1s songs in one. And four tempo changes.

Next, " Marakesh Exp~ess," which may be the single. " I wrote this," said Nash " on the train from Casablanca to Morocco.''

Next is Crosby's " Guine­vie re," a pretty love song with elec tric twelve and acous li c six-string guitars

Followed by Sti ll s' "You Don't Have To Cry" and Na~h's "Pre - Road Downs," al l about depres­sions you gel on the road

Side two sta rt s with the Stills /Crosb;, "Woodfin Ships ," and David a nd

Graham sing Nash's " Lady Of The Island ,"

" This was really far out, the way we did it, " recalled Graham. "We'd not rehearsed the song for about three weeks, and just sat in front of an open mike with one guitar and our voices -and took it.

"It isn't perfection, but it has real feeling ,"

Then comes a Scephen S1111s song" Helplessly Falling," just one acoustic guitar and three perfectly blend· ing, harmonizing, melting voices.

David's "Helplessly Fall ­ing " precedes the last, deepest and most groov• ing cut, " Fo rty•Nine Reasons " and " Bye-Bye­Baby" - rolled into one.

Now the question is, to tour or not to tour.

"Oh, we'll do gigs all right," said Nash .

" We've been getting fan ­tastic offers uf bread to tour, even befo re the album is released

"The three of us have done our fair share or leaping around the world, but I wou ld really like to show th e people what can be done with a banlJ who really get a long and enjoy themselves playing music"

My poppadam tol' me ALTHOUGH jazz has thrown up an abundance of controversies over the years, the one element on which there has hitherto been universal agree­ment is that concerning the origins of the music.

Return of the talking drum

It has long been accepted that jaz.z. evolved from a combination of African music, introduced into America . by the slave~, and European dance music .

Now however comes a remarka ble book , Jaz.z Is Where You Sikh It by P. Ven­catachellum, which threatens to ca~se n gigantic upheaval in jaz.z c ircles by cla1mmp: that jazz had its origins in Int.Ila m th e middlt. of the 19th century.

In l!s months he had th rough hot coals

Since 1960, the same well­trained fi ngers have gu ided his trio through a co uple or dozen instrumenta l LPs . Mos t or them were soul-jazz-orient­ated, with titles like " Bucket O'Grease:· "Soul Hits " and "Gospel Truth."

With those same ha nds, Mccann has taken photo­graphs of such professional calibre that several publi ca• tio ns have _paid him fo r thei r use

Now, in a situation th e likes of which abound in this freaky mus ic busi ness, McCann is enjoying the great­est accla im of his career s imply by us ing his voice.

A recent recording, the only vocal track on h is new LP, has kept him in the Am erican charts fo r 15 weeks; and to doub le the irony, the ti t le of th e song is " With Th ese Hands."

Like Aretha Franklin's firs t ma ss i v e chart bus ter , McCann's LP was taped immediately after a swi tch from another company to Atlantic, the hil•produC' mg label with the platinum touch

Amaze "It pleases me but it

doesn' t ama:>:e me," says th e cool McCann " I've always believed I could get up on a stoge and do just about anything 1 wanted but I lacked the self-confi'dence to go through with it. I was serious about singing when I mede a vocal album in 1961 .

"I think I know what did the trick this time. A lot or my feelings or inadequacy were connected with my Y>'e1ght problem."

The title of the album is " Much Les,_" and thereby hangs a lightweight !ale There is today so much less of

BUKKA WHITE, a cousin .:if B. B. King, is ,1 po1tri­a,ch of the Delta blues , an early figure in the long, illustrious line which stretches f r o m Charley Patton .ind Son House to Fred McDowell and Muddy Waters and includes doscns of ex­ponents of the didc or bottleneck school of guitar playing.

• Many of these pioneers are dead - Charley P.it­ton, Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson among them - but Bukka , 60 ye.an old or so, is still goin1 strong, singing and pounding out fierce music on his steel guitar and makinlJ up his sky songs (" I ju1t reach up and pull them out of the •ky ") H occ.asion de­mands.

e He came to this country durin1 the Americ.an Folk Blues Festini tour of '6'7 , when li1teners were impressed by the force a11d purity (thou1h th.d's an odd word to describe the rou1hness of his ap­proach) of his Mi11iuippi style, ,.,d there is ••cry chanc• he ma, visit us .s,ain.

e Bukl.s, which is appar­e • tly ,1 loul Southern pronunciation of his 1h•en n.sme, Booker, was born looker T . W.ashi• &­ton White in Ho111ton, Mississippi on Nov• Mber 12. 1909 (to111atime1 he 1a,s 1906 ). His f.sther , who 111o••d there from Tn.as, pl,1ycd &uitar and violin .snd w•s allle to •how hi, children -leoker wes one of fiwe - th• rudiMe•h of

guita r pick ing.

• His uncle , with whom he went to live in Gran ­ada in 1919, had a piano for use, but Bukka con ­ccntr.itcd on the guit;ar and, in his own words, " 11 fortnight aftN get­ting my first instnrment I was playing in public : the blues , just lik e to ­day." Howe we, he m.iy have sounded then , hi s first records - mo1de In 1930 and including a train blues, " P.ina ma Limited " - 1how that his dcfi.ery and m.inner of playing hawe remained largely unchanged.

e My own introduction to White' s 1pecial b,,1nd of music came with a copy of " Fixin ' To Die," a marvellously imaginati•e song, recorded in Chic,go with washboard accom ­paniment for ARC in 1940. In the interim, Buklu had made few sides : a couple for Voc• ­lion in '37 before he WH arrested and im­p,isonH {for shootin1 a man) in Mi11issippi 's notorious state pen ,1t Parchman, and two more on the pri1on farm for Alan Lomax and the Library of Congress folksong archives in May of ' 39.

• The term i11 Parchman , where he was a camp musician , f u , n i s h e d Bukka with, unong oth~ thin1s, m11t• rial for a ,aft of •i•id son1s. His 12 title1, cut on May 7 and 8, 1940, cont•ined it•m• of grHt value "Stran1• Place Blues " i, one which rne.111 his prHccup•hon with death -----

and the buryi ng ground . " Fixin ' To Die ," in which he seems to en ­visage his own death , is anothe r ; and to my mind it is h is nonpareil.

• The hard, slightly hesi ­tant utterance, the words themsel•es ("Mothe r, t.ike my children back , before t h e y let me down ") a nd their re­itera tion, bu ild up ,an eerie atmosphere wh ich seems a t odds with the thr11sting, happy sounding accomp,1nirt1ent, though the net result is strikingly effective . It can be heard on a collection , " The Country Blues " on RBF Records, ,1nd " Strange Place" (once issued here on Phillips ' " Blues Fell This Morning' ' ) is included on the second volume of " The Country Blues. " A few Bukka items are contained in Origin & Blues Classics collcction1.

• After trnelling a nd wo~king through Illinois, Ohio and Missouri and spending several ..;onths in Chicago, White re­turned to Memphis. It h,11 been his headquarters -e.e., . since - thoush he re,.111te d Chicago in the Fifties - and it 'WH

there he was louted by !•0 blues collectors in 63 and recorded again .

• Hi~ Delt• "'•sic, still undiluted, is cauiht on two •olumes of .. Sit, So-n1s " ( pia no on two tracks ) (Arhoolie ) , and two tracks of " The 1968 Me,..phi, Country Blues Festini." And Real"' hawe an earl, set in the work,

Detour ahead for the blues boom?

A crack is starting to appear in the massive wall of blues appreciation m this country and aC'cordmg to many people at the heart of blues music here the crack looks like widening

The truth as ugly as their pictures FRANK Zappa and the Mothers of Invention took the aware youth of Britain by storm last week and - perhaps - made them iust a bit more aware.

Within a few days of their arrival they upset a do2.cn preconceived ide-as about their v it.ws and music.

Zappa Look on students at the London School of Eco­nomics and found himsel f being lectured on student unrest.

The Mothers took off on the road and found a great ovat ion awai ted the ir 1;:ffor ts to play se rious music .

From here on issues became confused One remembers deejay David Jacobs playina one of the Mothers' more obviously amusing singles on Juke Box Jury and explaining to a baffl ed audience and Jury that it was ·• deadly serious."

The Mothers looked revoll• mg, and seemed to revel In upsetling everybody. Zappa wa s grudgingly hailed as a clever produ ct'r, releasing stranger and yet stranger a lbum s, leaving behind sall~e and mov mg inrn electronic music .

ThrouJ,th stray remarks on TV and in mterviews, Zappa appeared as an extremely sardonlr anti-hero.

The trulh 1s that 'lappa is a composer of scdous muc;ic who works in a rock and roll framew,1rk, and cherishes a sense or humour

The Mothers are schooled and sensitive mus icians who play Zappa's music wit~ de­votion, ('are and enthusiasm They are not as ugly as their photographs.

The absurdily and humour in the situation of appearing as " freak!! " to touch the nerves of lhe du ll ards of so­ciety hai. probably woriy a little thrn for lhem, especially 1r it hecomt's a block to ac­ceptance- for their music on a w1dt>r -.cale

The coach trip to Birmmg• ham wilh the Mothers proved a normal, enJoyable oul1ng, with Frank serenading us on acoustic guitar

GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER

maybe a spell with Teddy Wilson or Dorothy Donegan lt wouldn't have been fair .

"But we wound up playing somewhere together, me and Basie. Oh, and Freddy."

Listeners in France had <..ommented on what seemed to be the instant rapport in the Jones-Buckner Duo, and I wondered whethere they had worked much together. Jo said they hadn't

" Last Christmas I played a week with Milt and Illinois Jacquet, and I did a few tours with them. But that Isn't important I just sit up there and keep time. ,"

Jo flashed the well-known dangerous smile and contin ­ued: " You must remember I'm a peculiar kind of drummer. I'm a musician, play piano, trumpet, saxophone, and I was a dancing cham­pion. I'm not concerned with one kind of music.

" I'm partial to certain things - remember I've been with a feller called Basie -but I like to work with musicians, period.

" When I went to Newport last July I used the Army

~e~~~~~~- b~~jo n;r::e:.hr!ai: to him: 'Yo u're my band.' and we played all niJht. Anoth er time J played with just two guitars. I don't care. I'll say: ' Get me some musicians.' And then we play."

So how does Jo reel about the music business today?

" I say there's nothing wrong w ith the business that we can 't cure ourselves People taking one hour, fifteen minutes off m an intimate club ... that's one thing wrong. Customers don't like it.

"That's the musicians' rault . They'll come wandering back after an interval and say to me: • How You, Jo?' Well, I may be all right but the customer isn't. And pretty soon, boom . . . he' ll be playing the juke box instead ."

Jo Jones is a man who knows about jazz and knows about drummers. I asked who were the masters today in drums. After pondering a bit, he said Philly Joe Jones .

"To play al\ round, any­thing you'd want done, I don't know any other drummer can do what Philly can do. Of

~o:;t~~. :;Jdhe·s R~t f~~enl He's had to learn to play with people instead of just for people.

"That's my motto, and rve told him this: play with anybody and enjoy their music ,"

Noy,, pure Gospel music has notched up its first massive pop hit with the Edwin Hawkins Singers' "Oh Happy Day " which reached number one in the States and is currently climbing the MM Pop 30.

The name was changed to the Edwin Hawkins Singers for the purpose of recording thei r album, "Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord," from which " Oh Happy Day" was taken.

" The ages of the choi r ra nge from 17 to 25," he told me. "We have several fi ne soloists who are featu red on the different songs."

Britain forgot PROCOL Harum could well be called the group that Britain forgot.

Two years ago they had world-wide smash hit with "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" and at the beginning or 1968, gained a second gold disc with " Homburg."

But personnel changes hit the group and guitarist Robin Trower and drummer Barrie Wilson were brought 1n to replace the departing . Ray Royer and Bobby Harnson, who Jert to form ,their own group, Freedom

Management problems fol­lowed, and it seemed that the Proco] Harum entered a v.lldcrness after these unset• tling eve.nls. But now they have left 1l after getting things sorted nut during long spells in Americ•

Like "Shine On Brightly," the new album is a superb pie~ of mature pop mus,~ Ke11h Reed has written imagi­native, forceful lyrics which Gary Brooker, Matthew Fisher and Robin Trower have set to melodic Imes and great ar• rangements, as on .. A Salty Dog," "Boredom," "All This And More ·· and "Wreck or The Hesperus "

·• The shame isn't on us. We produ ced what we thought were good albums hut people didn't seem to dig them. They heard the first and second single , but they weren't con• ct:rned."

The group have fou nd musical and financial success during their stay in America. " Not through choice, though," points c,ut Gary. "After our initial i.uccesses, people would listen to us an America. but not here. We'd much rather work here. It's no fun living 1n a strange house"

Whether Proco\ Harum stay with us in Britain for any len&th of time will depend on how well the album and single are received.

" I've always looked on singles in Britain as impor­tant," states Gary. ·• J read that the Moody Blues were top or the chart with their LP and I've read thal albums arc the thing

the group to rep resent their church, the Ep hesian Church Of God In Christ, at a Youth Congress in W ashington D.C.

They were placed second in the competition but decided to remain together to present concerts in the San Fra ncisco area and, last yea r, took pa rt in a memor ia l TV programme fo r Dr Marti n Lut her King

Their album was played on loca l radio stat ions devoted to religious music before, as Hawkins says, "a hippie who liked 1t " brought it t o the attention of local pop sta tions.

" I didn't pick t hn single, the record company did that ," ad mits Hawki ns. "We are a lready working on the next one."

The enormous success of the album is a lready havi ng its affect on the choir and it s individua l members.

Dorothy Morrison, w ho sings the lead on "Oh Ha ppy Day," has al ready left to become a i-o lo artist managed by her husband

" We are starting a three weeks tour of the East Coast with a big concert at Madison Square Gardens in New York on June 22," Hawkins told me.

" A trip to Europe? That is my dream and I am hoping it will come true."

He agrees that touring with such a large choir is likely to produce problems.

" Taking all these people every-where is bound to be difficult," he admitted

" We are going to take the full choir on this trip, but we will cut it down when we get back and use a smaller unit for later tours."

Hawkins' own musical tastes are wide and he names his favourite singers as Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett and Sammy Davis - not a Gospeller among them

Instrumentally he " likes some of the Bossa rhythms," Sergio Mendes and pianist Peter Nero. A catholic taste, if a non-conformist will forgive the exp ression .

TH IS month , EMI Records launch a brand

In cha rge of the label, Harvest, is a 23-year-old economics grad ua te of Manchester Un1vers1ty who has been in the record business for less than two years , Malcolm J ones. who joined EM I from un ivers ity in September, 1967, as a management trainee because he " wa nted to work m pop music ."

How Harvest was born is really 8 compliment to Jones's drive and industry.

"EMJ, 85 a major rec<?rd company, had no pohcy against un.derground groups when I Joined the com­pany,'" he said.

WHEN London's Middle Earth club finally shut its doors, it seemed that the all - night grooving scene for the hippies, progressives and freaks had come to a halt.

'It's hysterical

But now everyone can freak out in more than a modicum of comfort at the Midnight Court in the Lyceum in London's Strand.

to lump the music and drugs together all PETER SMITH

it wH his id••

PLUSH At first glance, the grandiose

setting of the Lyceum migh t seem an unusual place for such a music scene -plush furnishings, gilt de­coration and revolving stage.

the time ... there's no question of drugs herer

people like Spike Milligan and Marty Feldman doing things

But these are no more unusual than other venues in which the underground scene in London has been nurtured.

UFO began after hours in an Irish dancing club in Tottenham Court Road, with everybody doing his or her thing among the hardboard sham­rocks and Guinness adverts.

Middle Earth, sparked off by the Electric Ga rden, grew up in a ware­

house basement in Covent Garden, among the cab• bages and peas, then shifted to the more spa­cious if still somewhat austere surroundings of the Roundhouse, a con• verted railway turntable hou.sing in Chalk Farm­way out, man, too bloody way out. You could never get a cab at four o'clock in the morning!

BEARDS But now the Lyceum

Warm, comfortab le, car­pets to sleep on, accom­modating staff, food, drinks, fags, good music -generally a good scene for everybody.

The Midnight Court begins late on Friday night after the beauty queens and ballroom dancers have moved out. Ray McVay and his band leave the stand and groups like the Nice, Steppenwolf, Procol Harum, Soft Machine, Yes, King Crimson, Hard Meat and Forest take over

Out go the sequined gowns, the soup-and-fish, the well polished faces In come the velvet trousers, long hair, bea rds and anything else you feel nice in.

The idea or Midnight Court being held at the Lyceum came, surprisingly, from the Lyceum's assistant manager, Peter Smith who manages to stay re~ markably fresh a nd ener­getic in the wee small hours of the morning des­pite having been on the job since nine am

AWARE He approache<_l the Marquee­

Martm Agency, and be­tween them the Midnight Court came into being Mike Dolan and Audrey Barber of Marquee-Martin look after the musical side

Peter Smith is very aware or what is going on in the music field around him He felt that the underground should have a home, for the music to have an outlet and to de­velop. " We rett the music mattered," he llate1 quite s imply

"Mecca a re doing it on a trial basis. They are in the entertainment business, after all, and are there• fore interested in all enterta inment.

CARPETS "There are so many argu­

ments about whether the music belongs in a venue like this hut if it wants to surv ive then it has to be promoted commercially.''

He stresses the comfort of the place and says of the Midnight Courtiers " They must like seats, carpets, clean toilets , towels. Everybody likes ca rpets!"

Accordingly the Courtiers are given every facility and comfort afforded to other Lyceum customers.

One or the hang-ups experi­enced by the other under­ground scenes was drugs.

Again Peter Smith is em­phatic, and takes an atti-

THE

tude that could well be noted in other qua rte rs

" The two things don't necessarily go together," he says. " If you say pro· gressive music belongs to intelligent people, then you can expect them to behave accordingly. It's like saying all intelligent people are drug-takers, which, or course, isn't true

"It's hysterical to lump the two, the music and the drugs, together all the time. And there's no ques­tion of drugs on these premises.

STRICT Marquee-Martin's Mike Do•

Ian sees the Midnight Court as an attempt to put the underground overground. Neither does he see it staying strictly a musical scene.

"Of course, we are inter­ested in groups," he says, " but we'd hke to get

MATURE "We'd like to use mime

acts and electronic music as opposed to putting bands on all the time. But basically, we want people to know that when they come to the Midnight Court, whatever they pay they get a good deal."

At last , the underground seems to be coming to terms with reality and re­alising that " commer­cial" isn't such a dirty word after all. lt is taking on a more mature out­look

Peter Smith put it his way: '' The difference between us and the underground in the past is that UFO was the the Unidentified Flying Object.

" We're lFO - the ldenti­fled Flying Obiect."

JOKING

BLIND FAITH fail? Some­~ne has to be joking. It JS a very apt name and I feel su re that they are a ~uccess even before they produce a s ingle recording . Almost Beatie status.

LOUTS WHY ALL the imbecilic

commotion over the new pop group called Blind Faith?

It is a distressing feature of today's youth that a large proport ion of them can be wra pped in adulation over the music of a g roup of long•haired louts whom they are yet to hear.

It is a pity your readers do not possess such blind faith in Our Lord as they bestow on such people. - REV. T. E. WINSOR, Tlt'kencote, Rutland.

BEAT LES : trying to emulate Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis

WOULD THE Beatles kindly stop trying to emulate Chuck Berry, Gene Vincenl, Jerry Lee Lewis etc and realise that they are living in 1969 and not 1963.

With " Sgt. Pepper" they showed us the heights to which they could ascend, with "The Ballad Of John And Yoko " they have shown us the depths to which they can descend. Wake up, Beatles! - JOHN flNN, Co. Cork, Ireland.

ALL MY Loving was the most beautiful. aware fi lm that I have seen on the BBC. For that I cou1d forgive the BBC
