Publisher's Notes DR. WILLIAM P.

Recently, a communication came across my desk which kindled fond memories and a

great sense of pride. It concerned honors awarded by the state of Florida to Dr.

William P. Foster, director

FOSTER: MASTER OF `MUSIC IN MOTION" of the world-famous "Mar- ching 100" band for nearly four decades and known throughout the country as the "Dean of America's Band Directors."

Well, it's about time that the master of professiona- lism in marching bands be recognized for his untiring efforts in forging upward the creative standard of excellence in "music in motion."

I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been trained by and served under Dr. Foster. Yes, he was a

tough task master, but his demands on every member of his staff and bands taught us all the real meaning of precision in both music and motion. And so it was "la

de, again" and again...until

it was perfect. When Dr. Foster was at

last satisfied that a show was ready, you could rest assured that each member of the band could perform the complex routines in his sleep. And the results were

legendary. He combined showmanship with technical execution in a unique way that has frequently been imitated, but never dupli- cated.

So I speak for all of the thousands of musicians who passed your way, Dr. Foster, when I say that your disci- pline elevated our thoughts and standards to a new pla- teau -- and we love you for it!

News BRE'fs RAY HARRIS EXITS SOLAR

Los Angeles: Effective Fri- day, August 2nd, Ray Harris, President of Solar/Constel- lation Records, relinquished his position with the company. He issued the following statement regarding his departure: "Every situation which seems negative is not necessarily so. Those of us who can convert what is seemingly negative into a

positive situation are des- tined to succeed. With the professional skills I pos- sess, I find myself with an excellent opportunity to go into business for myself. Harray Productions Inc. is

the name of my company which I have now activated. Our offices are located at 315 South Beverly Drive, Suite 3210 in Beverly Hills -

(213) 553-1601. We are actively seeking acts and soli- citing material from writers and producers. "I would like to thank all of my friends in the industry for their continued support in my past endeavors and look forward to forming

new and mutually rewarding relationships in the future."

DICK GRIFFE Y RESPONDS TO

HARRIS DEPARTURE

Los Angeles: Dick Griffey, CEO Dick Griffey Produc- tions/Solar/Constellation Records, issued the following statement on the departure of Ray Harris. "We have enjoyed a very

fine association with Ray Harris for ten years and obviously he's made a great contribution to our success. Ray is one of the rare ex- ecutives in this business who has had an opportunity to run a division at a major conglomerate and to also run a small entrepreneurial -type record company.

"Ray Harris, being an entrepreneur himself, now has the background to go out on his own and maybe establish the next Afro-American in- stitution in the mold of a

Motown or Solar. We wish him the very best and intend to be working with him very closely in the future. We hope that he will bring us

some of his talented acts under his production wing.

"As much as we hate to lose Ray, we were happy that we were able to give him the opportunity to develop as an entrepreneur and we intend to support his every effort."

JEAN HANCOCK SUCCUMBS IN

DALLAS PLANE CRASH

Los Angeles: The music world joins the family of Jean Hancock --including her pia- nist -composer brother Herbie Hancock --in mourning her loss in the recent crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 in Dallas, which claimed the lives of 132 others.

Ms. Hancock boarded the ill-fated plane in Ft. Lau- derdale, after helicoptering from Miami, where she was visiting friends. According to her brother, she made the fatal decision to transfer to Flight 191 in order to return home to California earlier.

Jean Hancock will be re- membered as a talented lyri- cist who worked with her brother, as well as Earth, Wind and Fire. BRE extends sincere condolences to Her- bie and the entire Hancock family.

David Copperfield may have made a 747 disappear, rown across the Grand Canyon, but it's doubtful if any of his magic was ever as delightful as next weekend when he plans to "levitate" the gor- geous VANITY. That Motown recording artist -- who also starred in "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon" -- will be right where many able bodied young men around town would like to have her: in a

trance and doing just what David tells her to do. All this is being done for a

good cause. Project Magic is

the rehabilitative therapy that Copperfield created, It

is designed to teach magic tricks to disabled patients to aid in their rehabilitation. While I really wonder why

DIONNE WARWICK went back to hosting duties on "Solid Gold," there's no confusion

as to why DARCEL WYNNE re-

joined the cast. There were tons of complaints when Ms.

Hot herself left the show --

rightly so, too, since Dar- cel can spin, twirl and twist with the best. People watched her dance with such intensity, I doubt if they knew what song she was dancing to.

Manhattan Records recording artists ERIC MERCURY and THEOLONIUS MONK III and New York Music group FURY have joined George Benson's original conditional re- quirement of 10 artists to

help fight anti -piracy through a fund of the Inter- national Federation of Pho-

nogram and Video Producers. The half-hour situation

comedy, "He's the Mayor," starring Kevin Hooks, a mid - season replacement for ABC from Universal Television, begins production this week. Kevin, who's really an exceptionally talented young man, portrays the new young mayor of a northeastern city. In the story line, his idealism often leads to con- flict with his fellow politicians. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What well-known manager -about - town lives in luxury while members of the group he manages struggle to keep the wolf away from the door?

by Ralph Brown

of WUSL-FM (Power -99) is

Phillytown's top evening air -personality. According to the ARBITRON radio spring ratings, Jackson's 7 p.m. -

midnight slot on the number one urban -contemporary sta-

tion in the marketplace at- tracts a whopping 12.6 share

of the audience. Jackson's dynamic presence

and impact with 12-17 year - olds on his weeknight show pulled 40 percent of the teen market, up from 23.5 in

the winter book. Considering the fact that Jackson began his tenure at Power -99 on March 28 this year, with

previous stops in Atlanta, Detroit, New Orleans and his hometown of St. Louis, the Illinois State graduate, stating it mildly, simply spanked all other area d.j.'s butts in just three months of on air time. "I've

always received good ratings in all the markets I worked in. I attribute my success to being in the right place

at the right time and having the ability to communicate on a one-to-one basis with the audience. Coming to the

number one urban contemporary station definitely enhanced my success. The

During their recent visit to Philadelphia for concert

appearances, the Commodores stopped by WUSL (Power 99)

to thank the station and Tony Gray for support given

their latest album, NIGHTSHIFT. Pictured (1-r): William King of the Commodores; Lynda Penn, Motown mid -Atlantic states Promotion; Tony Gray, Music Director for WUSL,

chemistry between myself and the audience seems to work here," says Jackson.

As Power 99 -FM's m.d.,

Jackson focuses on such stalwart rappers as the FAT

BOYS, WHODINI, RUN DMC, and

NEW EDITION while on the air. "I like teenagers. In

each market I go to, I pre- pare myself professionally to do as good a job as possible. Also, I try to find out as much as I can about the young people's life- styles and parallel my show accordingly."

By the way, Jackson's real name is TONY GREY. He changes his on -air moniker with every market. "I like to start off new - from ground zero - when I go to a

new market. The people here in Philly respect an air - personality who does a good job, so I try to capitalize on that aspect as much as possible." Concerning future goals,

Jackson adds: "Looking at troubled black formatted radio stations across the country indicates to me that there i-& a need for a full- time black radio consultant service. As a future goal, I

would like the opportunity and challenge to operate my own agency."

Gray, or rather Jackson, replaced the Big Apple's WRKS current m.d. FRED BUGGS, who some critics say paved the way for Jackson's

present success at WUSL by

leaving behind a huge evening audience.

even faster tempo, staging 28 concerts between January 1 and July 31, compared with 23 in the same period last

Windy City by Jerome Simmons

On Friday, August 2, 1985,

MAYOR HAROLD WASHINGTON renamed a portion of 43rd Street here in Chicago to

East Muddy Waters Drive. In

doing so, he immortalized MUDDY WATERS for the contributions he gave to an art form known as 'the blues,' and did much for the heri-

tage of a dying art form in

the black community. Since black radio plays so little of the blues, it is neces- sary that a name should be

displayed so that future generations will at least ask who Muddy Waters was.

Mayor Washington said in

tribute that "Muddy Waters made much of his dynamic guitar music here in Chicago before his death in 1983.

Chicago is very proud of the contributions made by Muddy Waters in the advancement of blues as a musical form, and the permanent renaming of 43rd ST will serve as a

lasting memorial to this great musician." The change will not be

official until the City Council votes to make it

permanent. In town this week were

Atlantic recording artists SYSTEM. The group visited Chicago area radio and re-

cord stores. They also made the long trek to WLTH in

Gary, IN.

Also in town was Motown recording artist MICHAEL LOVESMITH who, like System, visited area radio and re-

cord stores. Michael -made an

extra appearance at WGCI's ni-ght at the Copherbox dis-

co. I understand he turned the place out pantomiming his latest recording. Chicago is buzzing about

the release of RAY HARRIS from Solar Records. All of

us here are happy to hear that T.C. THOMPKINS is doing well, and we wish him much success with his new label,

Top Cat Records. I'm here if

you need my help, T.C. I

also extend the same support to you, Ray Harris.

MIDWEST RADIO & MUSIC CONFERENCE

Purpose - In this day of uncertainty, especially as

it pertains to the radio and record industry, it is im- perative that provisions be

made for the future. There are more than a few who have not prepared themselves for future advancement (or unem- ployment.) What is needed for these situations is a

knowledge of management, marketing, computer science and financial preparedness. At the Midwest Radio & Music Conference, we plan to present these topics in a light that will, hopefully, inspire our attendees to further their knowledge in these areas. Most confer- ences have been geared to the advancement of the radio station or the record company as its primary goal. Not

to say that seminars on crossover, video, ratings, etc. do not play an important part in your jobs, but

we also plan to look at 'how to manage a staff,' 'how to

market yourself as a product,' 'can you survive

without basic knowledge of

computer science,' and 'is

your money working as hard

for you as you worked for

it?' Committee - Lee Michaels, General Chairman; Jerome Simmons, Producer; Jay Todd

Johnson, P.D. WTLC, Indiana- polis; James Alexander, P.D.

WJLB, Detroit; Earnest James, owner, WCIN; Graham Armstrong, P.D. WGCI, Chicago.

The Midwest Radio & Music Conference will be held in

Chicago on November 6, 7, 8,

and 9. We will start with Heroes Day on Nov. 6. All registered guests of the conference are encouraged to bring their children to He- roes Day, a day in which prominent members of the entertainment, business, and political world gather together to inspire young people to excel in their future endeavors.

Start making your plans now to attend the conference and watch for more information in this column in up-

coming issues of BRE.

RIAA / VIDEO ANNOUNCES GOLD AND

PLATINUM CERTIFICATIONS FOR

THEATRICAL AND NON -THEATRICAL

RELEASES RIAA/VIDEO, the video division of the Recording Indus- try Assn. of America, recently announced that four theatrical releases were certified gold and platinum simultaneously during June. They include: MCA Home

Video's "The River;" "City Heat," from Warner Home Video; "Avenging Angel," from New World Home Video; and Media Home Entertain- ment, Inc.'s "Nightmare On Elm Street." The remaining four of

eight gold certifications for the month include "Heaven Help Us," HBO Pic- tures/Silver Screen Part- ners; "Choose Me," Media Home Entertainment, Inc./ Island Alive; "C.H.U.D.,"

Media Home Enterainment/Chud Partners; and "Sharkey's Machine," Warner Home Vid-

eo/Orion Pictures.

On the non -theatrical re-

lease front, RIAA/VIDEO has

certified five gold and one

platinum for the month of June.

Two of the month's gold awards went to music videos. A&M Video, a division of the

record company, earned its

first gold for The Police's

"Synchronicity Concert" video. "Iron Maiden --Video Pieces" also earned gold for

Sony Video Software/Picture Music International.

Other gold awards went to

"Muscle Motion," Media Home Entertainment/Viacom Enter- prises; and a pair of 'Char-

lie Brown' clips for Media Home Entertainment/United Media Prods. Video Reel/Bob Mann won

the month's platiunum award in this category for "Auto- matic Golf."

Black Entertainment Televi- sion (BET) recently touted its highest prime ratings in the cable service's existence.

According to the A.C. Nielsen coincidental stats (6/18/85), BET scored a 1.4

rating among total cable households. The net picked an 8.7 and 13% share among black households during the

airing of its "2nd Annual Black Gold Awards" and "Let

The Music Play," a musical special featuring Atlantic/ Mirage artist Shannon.

The network attributes its success to its recent decision to go on 24 -hours, implementation of new marketing strategies to in- crease viewership, and the recent partnership entered into with Home Box Office (HBO). Commenting on the net's

recent upsurge, BET president Robert Johnson said, "BET's success in Nielsen ratings is further proof that BET is becoming a more

effective tool for our na-

tional sponsors and one of

the most valued services on

urban cable systems."

That gritty songstress of electric funk, Nona Hendryx, recently released a video clip culled from the Colum- bia Pictures film "Perfect," starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. The clip is titled "I Sweat (Going Through the Motions)," and is directed by Graham Hen - man. Arista Records has just released the song for the video from the original soundtrack.

Station Break by Michael Martinez

WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECTS ON BLACK

RADIO OF PROPOSED FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO BAN ALCOHOL ADS?

W.A. Griffin, program and sales director, KX-101,

Hope, Ark.

It would be devastating. Especially in small markets like mine during the summer.

I think it means that most stations would lose significant revenue.

I think some stations would have to rely more on local advertising to fill the gap, although there is nothing like national ad dollars.

It might please certain segments of the community, but I don't feel as though it will necessarily help the stations at all.

Ernest Jackson, vice president/general manager,

WHRK, WDIA/Memphis

That legislation would be

devastating. I'd be willing to bet if you took a survey of types of advertising, by

category, that comprised the largest segments of revenue, you'd find that beer, wine and ale have a

substantial portion. Hair care and beer, wine,

and ale have to be the top two. During the summer, liquor

ad revenue must be on top.

Joan Logue -Henry, vice president, corporate, Unity

Broadcasting Network

Smaller stations would be

at a severe disadvantage, particularly in the south.

In the summer time, such advertising is at a premium and during peak holiday times such as Christmas, those stations will lose a

substantial portion of their

seasonal revenue.

One problem is that black radio doesn't seem to have the flexibility that the white media does.

Take away a general market station's liquor beverage revenues and they can go for something else.

Advertising agencies don't see us as viable, and it would be difficult for black stations to obtain ad dollars for other products.

Darryl Moore, program director, 13K/Sulphur. La.

Well, I think that other than the loss of money, it won't make that much difference. It may not make that much of a difference to the people who sell liquor or those who want to drink it.

It may affect radio, but not the stores. Yes, we'd lose dollars, but I don't know how it would affect the industry.

What will happen is that

we will lose dollars on

regional and local promo- tions, like the Budweiser Superfest and things like that.

A loss of that nature would be more devasting than the loss of just dollars.

Lee Bailey, president, Lee Bailey Productions,

syndicator of 'Radioscopee

No doubt it will affect income, particularly in black radio, which sells a

lot of beer. But radio will have to be creative... because the bulk of advertising goes to television.

While the proposed legislation will make an impact on the industry at large, the incomes of black stations will be seriously af- fected. It's a very naive approach for a problem and obviously will not be a

cure-all. As a syndicator, it will

not affect me directly, however, and may in fact bene- fit me indirectly. Our marketing effort is focused on

diverse sponsors because of the universality of the product.

BOB MARLEY'S HEIRS

MIIODY MAKERS "PLAY THE RIGHT GAME" On by Roger Steffens, co -host of the "Reggae Beat" on KCRW, L.A, and of "Reggae Beat International," the world's only syrdicated reggae show.

EMI

MELODY -MAKING MAiRLE`!S -- BOB MARLEY'S MUSICAL HEIRS ARE (LEFT TO RIGHT) STEVIE, I2;CEDEL»A 17 ; DAVID A/K/A 'ZIGGY,' 15; AND SHARON, 20.

"Play the Game Right" is the first album to be re-

leased by Bob Marley's children and it is a mile- stone in modern reggae mu-

sic. It marks the coming to

fruition of four distinct talents that have been nur- tured virtually since their

birth. Most impressive is

young David "Ziggy" Marley, 16, whose newly matured voice will shock some with its uncanny similarity to his father's unmistakable sound; brother Stevie, 12,

has become an aczonplished toaster (that's the Jana.can word for "rapper": and sisters Sharon, 20, and Cedel- la, 17, have the makings of

a youthful I -Threes. The Melody Makers have

been making singles for nearly six years. However, for this LP, Bob's w fe,

Rita Marley, put Ziggy in Marley's custom-built Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, Jamaica, backed (for the first time) by his father's

band, the Wailers. The re- sult is one of the year's most spectacular reggae re-

leases, not just for its vocal reminders of the late reggae King, but also for the power evidenced in Zig-

gy's compositions. He has written nine of the ten tracks on "Play the Game Right" and there is nothing childlike or immature about his writing. His voice is

adult, with the merest wisp of a rasp beginning to develop.

Last November, Ziggy made a surprise appearance at the

Universal Amphitheatre in

Los Angeles. Debuting as leader of the band, Ziggy led the Wailers through nine songs and then cane out onstage for the encore alone, carrying an acoustic guitar and wearing his father's denim jacket. He hushed the full house of 6,000 people and launched into a perfect note -for -note rendition of Bob Marley's hymn (and final recording) "Redemption Song." Later, one of the I -

Threes, Judy Mowatt, re- called that evening with a

mixture of awe and the sense of prophecy fulfilled. "Seeing Ziggy at the Univer- sal brought back so many memories, because there was no difference between him and his father. I mean, if I

was in the audience, and I

did not know Bob Marley, I

would have thought that was Bob Marley, because Ziggy is the complete replica of his father, And it's like history repeated itself to me the other night! You get a

special electricity running through your body when he touches you when he's working onstage One of the album's

strongest tracks is a rock- ing showcase for the entire quartet, called "llnub Nuh Listen Yet"' - which is a

patois way of saying "You're

still not listening" and it

too recalls the elder Mar- ley's words. "Look how long," Ziggy sings admonish- ingly, "we been telling you about it" and his sisters coo "Unuh nuh listen yet" then Ziggy again with "My daddy been telling you about it..." On a 1`ve-inflected version of "Reggae Is Mow" Ziggy adds that reggae music comes "...through the line of King Marley." There is a

constant awareness of his place and responsibilities. Privately, Ziggy is a

quiet, thoughtful young man who is already taller than his late father. "I would like to continue my studies in college, and learn to

BOB MARLEY

play several instruments." He's listed as co -producer of the Melody Makers album, and of all of Marley's ele- ven children, he seems the most keenly interested in music. One gets the feeling that he wants to know something about everything, and exercise control over his destiny, no matter how fore- ordained his future seems. In some respects he could truly be called "the reggae Julian Lennon." Even their writing has similar echoes. In a Steve Levine production, that may be released as a twelve -inch in the future, Ziggy has written of a vision in "Lying in Bed." Behind a lush pop arrange- ment with strings, Ziggy recalls "Lying in bed, got nothing to do... above my bed Bobs face I saw, looking at me so passionately." "I wrote that when I was in

the hospital, years ago," admits the younger Marley. Compare those words with these, from Julian Lennon's "Well I Don't Know": "Look up as I lie in bed, feeling the presence of the dead." The two have never met, although Julian has admitted to an enormous fondness for Bob Marley's work, and even has a reggae track on his own debut album. Sons of legends, they have an aura about them already that is

impossible to ignore.

Then there's little Stevie, who is filling out

quickly, and pursuing acting along with his music. His toasting can be heard to

fine effect on the aforemen- tioned "Unuh Nuh Listen Yet." followed by a sweet chorus from the two girls.

Sharon was married recently and is now expecting her first child. Cedella is

still in school. A casual listening will

reveal that "Play the Game Right" has a lot of the feel

of the "Natty Dread" period Wailers. There is even a

Russell Simmons of RUSH Productions, currently working on the Krush Groove movie project is rumored to

be about to sign a label deal with CBS six of its

current fifteen group ros-

ter: LL Cool J, the Beastie Group, Davy DMX, Tashawn, Deco, and the Junkyard Band. Mr. Simmons, who is fast becoming known as the 'king

of the rap artists' says he

specializes in teenage music, not just rap and his projected releases will soon

be the evidence. Dave Clark recently called

to say that he is thrilled over his soon to be released

single on Latimore and wants to thank everyone for the support he's been receiving on Little Milton, David St.

George, and Formula 5.

Music Specialists out of

Miami have just finished the mix on a real bomb on Pretty Tony entitled "Get Some."Be

on the watch, he's serious! Blackfoot resurfaces with

a new 12" from Soundtown called "Seesaw."

B.B. King was recently seen on Sesame Street -- that's when you've really made it.

Clarance Avant, on the verge of a new deal with CBS, has a hot new European group called ROAR.

Eddie Murphy was recently spotted at LA eatery Carlos & Charlie's flanked by 6

bodyguards. One would think

the Beverly Hills police could handle any problems.

lying heavily on their "B"

Team aided by a 1000 watt mobile sound system, modern translucent banners, mer- chandise giveaways, talent, and the Cellular One phone system for live broadcasts on their entertainment trek throughout Baltimore. Since its inception in March, the

Sixth Annual Radiothon and Festival was hosted by KACE, KDAY, KGFJ, and KJLH with remote booths at the site of the festival for live inter- views, air blitzes regarding the festival, and 24 hour telephone coverage for new NAACP membership and dona- tions. As the controversy and

concern for questionable lyrics continues, WZAK in

Cleveland, OH decided to get the community involved in the decisions as to what lyrics should be banned as

well as a parent awareness program by forming a community programming advisory committee. One of the first acts of the commmittee will be a public service announ- cement to be aired on WZAK prompting parents to be a-

ware and alert.

Also at WZAK, some new additions in the form of Osupa Nia as account executive from WJMO and the ap- pointment of account executive Dan Kelly to the position of general sales manager at WHLO in Akron.

broadcast commercials and plays a large selection of

American music throughout France.

The team as shown above consists of WJLB air staff, management and some local personalities. So far the season is 1 up with a loss to MCA artist One Way and win over Atlantic artists Shannon and RJ's Latest Arrival.

Concert Review TILE COMMODORES

by Ruth A. Robinson

Perhaps if I hadn't been a

follower and friend of this

wonderful group for so long,

I wouldn't be so aware of what was missing in this show at the Universal Amphi- theatre. It wasn't Lionel Richie. More to the point, it was probably the strong, guiding hand of Benny Ash- burn. Benny had a way of pointing to the excesses and

saying stop. Which is exact- ly what needs to be said --

at the risk of friendship --

to Clyde. There are few groups who

can survive the loss of a

lead singer like Lionel. But

I remember when Lionel played the saxophone and Clyde was singing and playing the drums like crazy. It's understandable that he

would not,want to surrender center stage again as he

ultimately had to do with Richie. But there are times when the good of the many has to outweigh the need of

the one. This is such a

time. If, as Clyde repeated- ly said, they are the "World's Most Famous Commo- dores," and want to stay that way, changes have to be

made before the ship sinks.

Let J.D. Nicholas loose. Use the uniqueness of that

English accent. Stop all that self-indulgent chatter.

Nobody really wants to hear it. What they want is the Commodores of old, made new and better by a new voice, a

new presence laid onto that

steamroller of gold you own.

It wasn't all bad. Ronald is funny and can hold his own in a lead vocal slot. I'm not advocating a one lead group. This is a wonderful, talented group of men who deserve the success from "Nightshift." But get it together and think back to all that advice from Benny. Use all the apples, not just one orange.

ATLANTIC STARR SILVER SHADOW

A&M AM 2766 Happy, melodic, and appeal- ing this latest from Atlan- tic Starr should make waves on the charts and airwaves this summer. Mid tempo yet distinctly up beat soft female vocals add a touch of class. Demos: All.

MIAMI SOUND MACHINE CONGA! EPIC 34-05457 The Latino scene in Miami is jumping if this hot single is any indication, killer percussion and bopping female vocals make this viable for many formats. The empha- sis seems to be on dancing though, but boy can this cat play the keyboards! Demos: All. Q.T. HUSH

TURN IT UP

EPIC 34-05445 Q.T. rocks out in a funky dance mode for the partyers as macho male backing vocals call out the various party cities. Smooth synth weaves its way in and out of the high energy arrangements. Demos: Dancers, young adults. SCRITTI POLITTI PERFECT WAY

WARNER BROS. 7-28949 Scritti started out as an arty alternative act, but they have progressed con- siderably creating a sophis- ticated funk -rock sound that is making inroads on black radio.

Jazz In BRE'f by Michael Martinez

GROVER WASHINGTON, IN SEARCH OF NEW

RECORD CONTRACT, STILL JAMS

One of waster saxwan Grover Washington, Jr.'s fantasies is to play for the Philadel- phia 76ers.

Musically, he likens his current recording situation to that of a free agent in

sports. He has become a free agent by exiting his long, profitable contract with recording industry franchise Elektra Records.

While details of the label departure are still unknown, Washington told BRE recently, "The next deal I have should allow me to do a

little bit of everything."

Meanwhile, Washington and company have been barn- storming through the western U.S. on a tour dubbed "Jammin' In July." Man and band strutted their stuff for 23 dates during this hot month, a tour that ended in Sacramento, Ca.

on July 28.

You might think that in this modern age of high-tech travel, such a rigorous schedule could be mitigated by jet travel.

"I have a problem that when I fly, fluid builds up in my ear and affects my hearing," he explained. So he's had to do the whole thing by bus.

Washington said that pre-

paring for an LP is easier than touring, noting that, "you're at home, you write all the material, you schedule your own time in the studio to get things done.

"On tour," he continued, "it all has to come from you, the band, the crew, sound people, and if one segment doesn't pull their own weight, it puts extra pressure on everyone."

He returned to his analogy of musician as basketball player.

"The tour is like our Continued on page 30

Jazz Reviews BILLY COBHAM WARNING GRP D-9528 Smooth, sensuous percussion marks the flavor of this album. Cobham, formerly of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra and many solo and collaboratory endeavors, has just the right touch. From the softly crafted "Mozaic," the moody "Slow Body Bop - pin" to an interesting mid - tempo cut, "Unknown Jerome's," this eclectic mix makes for a captivating musical menu.

PHIL UPCHURCH COMPANIONS JAM 021 In this jazz offering, Up- church brings his distinc- tive style to some recent standards. Most notably, the

soulful rendition of "Rosan- na" and a sassy version of "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming." A funky guitar on the clas-

sic "See See Rider" adds just the right spice to this

cool collection. JEFF BERLIN/VOX HUMANA CHAMPION PASSPORT JAll PJ 88004 With this effort, Jeff Ber-

lin and Vox Humana have

combined torces in an LP release which should prove interesting to jazz lovers with contemporary music tastes. Memorable cuts include "Mother Lode," penned by Berlin, a rhythmic compo- sition featuring a synthesi- zer solo and "What I Know," with a smooth romantic feel. PROFESSOR LONGHAIR ROCK AND ROLL GUMBO DANCING CAT RECORDS DC 3006 This New Orleans jazz by the legendary Professor Longhair is foot tapping music remi- niscent of early blues and jazz. His rhythmic style is

infectious on the classic "Tipitina" and the violin hot and spicy on "Jamba - laya." "Mardi Gras In New York" brings a fresh approach to a musical gumbo you won't want to miss. DWAYNE SMITH AND ART JOHNSON HEARTBOUND CAFE RECORDS L729 Subtle textures in the music give a free flowing to this effort with strong keyboards. Noteworthy tracks include the title cut "Heartbound" and the lilting "Strange Story." An elegant touch enhances this quiet music for quiet times.

Grapevine FEATURE Swinging Prophet

by Cornelius Grant

Is the promotion depart- ment at the record label owned by NBC doing the right kind of job on its black acts? Gentlemen, there are more stars in your sky than your 'endless' movie star. What happened to the album from the artist who wanted to step from 'behind the mask' into the public eye?

Every day is a school day, since every day some of us learn something new. The lack of awareness in television land of who's who in the black hierarchy is ama- zing. Lesson for today. Ask ore of those TV boys yourself, they think NELL CARTER is a bigger singer -- oh, say, than Stephanie Mills -- because Nell is seen on TV.

That's not to slam Nell (she's a terrific singer and a funny actress) -- it's just an observation about awareness levels. But at least when NBC is aware of someone, they do something. Nell does have a Christmas special in the works.

There is a singer among us who is seen as a superstar, but she's broke. Sad to say, that's not even a new story.

But it is a lesson in not learning from experience. This singer had one husband who kept her broke, now she's giving what she does have to some guy in another state.

Here's a reminder that you can't have things both ways. Now everybody knows that "Stars on 45" was not the real act. So what is going to happen when the label says "Stars on 45 featuring Sam & Dave": "The Sam and Dave Medley" -- well, that means somebody is going to get sued. Sam Moore ("Sam's" last name is Moore) has filed a million dollar law- suit against Atlantic and everybody else. Stay tuned to see who emerges the Star on this 45.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Why would a record label re-sign a major group yet fail to support their concert efforts by picking up the popcorn tab at a recent post -concert party?

Continued from page 9

song called "Natty Dread Rampage" that takes the album out on a raucous, ad- monitory note, highlighted by Tyrone Downie's bubbling organ riffs. "Revelation' sounds like 1974's "Revolu- tion." "Naah Leggo" has alternating male and female choruses in a "hang on in

dere" style. "Children Play- ing in the Street" is the only track written by Bob Marley, composed in 1975. Back then, Bob told biogra- pher Tim White, "I'm savin'

it for when me children are old enough to sing it."

Their exciting new Wailers version ends with a smooth a

capella chorus. Don Taylor, who is

handling personal management for the group and can be reached at Tam ml Artist Man- agement at (213) 274-6918, is deeply enthusiastic about their prospects. "Right now, we're looking at a very few, special showcase dates during the week of February 6th, Bob's birthday. This is a supergroup, and it's got to be handled as such. At presstime, plans were being made to add the Melody Makers as a surprise attraction at the Sunsplash Festi- val in August in Montego Bay, co-inciding with the international release of the album by EMI -America. Taylor is being extra

careful in his handling of the youngsters, and the bur- den of history is obviously on his shoulders as well as Ziggy's. "I remember," Tay- lor said recently at his L.A. office, "that just before he passed, Bob called Ziggy into his bedroom, and the two of them talked for an hour. When Ziggy came out, something had changed. There was definitely something different. About the way he walked, how he held his arms, how he looked. He became Bob from that moment. I sincerely believe that."

JAZZ Continued from page 28

playoffs," he said. "A team plays all season long (like the album), but when you're

on tour, every date counts. "You can't afford to let

down on any date, because the fans will let you know."

Washington said that his tour has been a success from the standpoint of audience reaction. "They've seemed to be on

the edge of their seats, always wanting a little more.

"One thing I've learned is

that fans depend on you,"

eri"dirg ARIES

Avoid negative elements -- that includes depressed associates. Be on the look out for exciting opportunities.

TAURUS Keep your cool no matter how much your are irritated especially by that co-worker. Laughter and one of the summer comedies will offer relief.

GEMINI Summer seems to be setting in with a boring routine. Try weekending at unusual places.

CANCER Unfortunately finances are still tight, but roadside picnics or simply re -at- tuning to nature can be revitalizing.

LEO Someone close has been of- fended by your actions and you have no idea why. Ignore and it will clear up by itself.

VIRGO The fine line if overlooked can cause you some problems later. Ask for advice when

unsure. LIBRA

Disagreements over money aren't really worth the problem as the total loss that may occur is far more.

SCORPIO It's time to re -negotiate your financial relationships with about 20% increases being in order. Don't be put off.

SAGITTARIUS Secret worries are better aired. Meet your problems squarely and they will become minimal. Enjoy partner.

CAPRICORN Your mind is finally finding freedom; don't become locked with another's depression and problems. Just steer clear.

AQUARIUS Your concern for others should not overcome your sense of yourself. Be proud of your abilities.

PISCES Involve yourself with those around you who can contri- bute to political achieve- ments. Volunteer for pro- jects.

Washington said, adding, "And you depend on them.

"Each time you perform for them, you show them where you and your music have been and you also give them a

glimpse of where you're going.

"They help you by keeping you honest."

In addition to his current, more pop oriented material, Washington said that his renderings of music from the Blue Note/Manhattan Records LP, "Togethering," which he performed with legendary guitarist Kenny Bur- rell, has also gained kudos from the fans.

He will have ample opportunity to continue exploring

his jazz roots as artistic director of Philadelphia's Settlement School's Jazz Reach program, which will be putting on about 18 concerts throughout late summer and early fall around the city.

He will perform or engage artists to perform such as Max Roach and Philly Joe Jones.

He also plans to explore more involvement in TV music, an outgrowth of his experience as the principal soloist on music used in the hit NBC-TV series "The Bill Cosby Show."

But he still thinks his life experience will not be completely fulfilled until he plays point guard.
