Pure Form delights by J. L. Schmidt Jazz in the Pure Form gave the listenin" audience in the south crib of the Union just that, jazz in the pure form. ' The group was the idea of one and is now five strong, having been organized by drummer Vic Lewis. Ed Love, former math major turned sax man musician: Glenn Hutchison, a natural ear musician who plays locally with the Hutchison Brothers; Don Gorder a trumpet and flugelhornist and Chuck Penington, the "old man" pianist of the group are the Pure Form. As a group, they displayed a wonderful sense of dynamics and individuality with a great awareness that they were still a group which had to hang together to please the ear. In spite of the group they each managed to shine. Lewis' drum playing can best be compared to a sculptor with a block, of marble.

At times he was adding the delicate trim of an elegantly fluted column with the aiere tips of his sticks on the rim of the snare. The wandering eye may have thought, at times, that Lewis had been replaced by a perpetual motion machine programmed by a computer to play all of the cymbals, the base, snare and tom-tom at the same time without breathing. He was this fast, but flawless. Glenn was good and steady on the base and stayed out of the limelight while providing the solid background for the others to play around. Like all good musicians, Glenn had to wait but he got his solo stint in the final set and brought crowd applause as well as some well deserved Enjoyable Album Review of Chicago Transit Authority by "No. 6" KFMQ Progressive Rock Program Director Have you ever ridden the C.T.A.? It's similar to the E train to Queens but much more enjoyable. Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is a band; a darn good band. Their jazz-rock-blues has captured many of the hearts of Blood, Sweat, and Tears fan. Chicago Transit Authority Includes seven musicians, all sweetly com bining to achieve unusual, harmony. It's hard to put your finger on the exact type of music they create. The only thing that can be said is that their inventive songs are con sistently good music. J Tm THE AMERICAN FROG ... I a i V r jf f7 jazz audience praise from his compatriots. Gorder sinned in duo with Love but at times seemed a little less forceful than an ticipated' He did several solo stints which were well timed and technically correct and played well with the group. Love was really with the group, most of the time, but at moments had the tendency to drift. He seemed at times obsessed with playing as many notes as possible while, more often, being content to flow with the tide of the group. His shining moment was when the group played a song popularized by the Mothers of Invention, "King Kong." Love admittedly played around with the basic tune and came up with a rendition which featured the soprano sax. riding on The opening song is ap- nrouriately titled "Introduc tion" and is truly represen tative of the group's music. In the opinion of this reviewer, more groups should do this to save the audience wasted time. Terry Kath Is an unusually good lead guitarist and is quite good in his creative parodies of Mike Bloomfietd, Jiml Hendrix, and Jimmy Page. "Free Form Guitar" is by far the heaviest piece on the double album If you can dig that. Kath's solos throughout the StO minutes of entertainment are more than adequate. Daniel Seraphine is typical of today's drummers, pat terned after Ginger Raker but lacking the crystal clari ty. His performance 3. k. (&.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN I the Union Festival Jazz Peningion on the piano is smooth. Period. He is an even better composer and arranger and had several good examples of a hodge podge of rock, jazz, and blues. Especially notable was his rendition of "Georgie Girl," which strayed far enough away from the basic tune that one almost got lost in the crowd only to be brought back to it by the familiarity of the tune after a short solo by each of the artists. "Suspicion" and "You're Gonna' Hear from Me" join ed with "Take Five" as other crowd pleasers. "Master Charge" and "Loaded" were in the category of newcomers, but all were handled well by the group of well-seasoned musicians. CT.A. throughout the album and especially In "I'm a Man" would warrent applause from Doug Ingle (Iron Butterfly) and John Bonham (Led Zep pelin). One thing is almost amaz ing. It is the way CTA blends only two horns to sound like an entire brass section. James Pankow, C T A ' s trombonist, has done an ex cellent job in arranging the brass. Another thing worth heralding Is the way CTA can change the beat of the music from extremely fast to in credibly slow so often, so ef fectively, and so pleasurably. Listen to "Question 67 or 68" which is matched only by Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" or "Dazed and Confused " mtnmw Professors exhibit displays . JL byDaveLandis Entertainment "Vriter The Sheldon Art Gallery is showing, through Sunday, two exhibitions of Nebraska art faculty members. James Alinder, assistant professor and photography instructor, and K e 1 1 e r Jacobshagen, assistant professor teaching graphic design," are showing original works completed In the last three years. Both displays are visually appealing and offer interesting contrasts. James Alinder x-Peace Cprpsman James Alinder's exhibit focuses on the photograph as a personal expression. All pictures are full frame and feature an unusually wide lens angle 140 degrees as opposed to the normal 50 degrees. With the wider photograph, Alindes said he can "picture the ob ject in its environment." This gives the observer a better un derstanding of the object." A large portion of the ex hibit deals with his wife, her pregnancy and the birth of their baby daughter. Alinder and his wife travelled to Omaha to have their child so the artist could observe and photograph the pre-operation procedure and the delivery. The self-portrait of Alinder, four hours after the delivery, is outstanding. The entire pregnancy sequence is very warm 'and quite personal. "It is an attempt to define my relationship with my wife and our child," he stated. The photographer was quick to add, "I can't intellec Flamenco artist is featured here Clark Metcalf, a regionally-known flamenco and classical guitarist is currently appearing at the Holiday Inn. Metcalf plays during the cocktail hours, 5:30-6:30 p.m. His engage ment ends Saturday. Metcalf has been a pro fessional guitarist for the past eight years. He recently returned from Spain. While in Europe he received addi tional training "from the gypsies in the street." Donovan conies to Kansas Citv Donovan, self-styled songwriter from Scotland, will be appearing at the City Auditorium In Kansas City Saturday evening. Tickets are $3, $4, $5 and $6. Ticket sales haw been good, so those planning to attend should call the City Auditorium for reserve tickets. He will also be appearing at the Civic Auditorium in Denver, Sunday.

Van Dorn The Raiders Are Com in f tkP t TIC TICKITt ON UU MMHIN AND Tllttgil CITY RICORD "Woe "ma tualize about my photographs. To put it into words is to destroy the visual experience." Alinder's photographs reflect a beautiful sense of irony and humor. Use of motion is another delightful theme of Alinder's. Through shutter speed slight-of-hand, Alinder slows motion, releases it again and then freezes it in the same photo. This is not an attempt at "trickery", but serves to tweak the observer's "complete belief in the photograph." Alinder received his training in the documentary style. He used this to good advantage in East Samoli as a Peace Corpsman. Through exploring other dimensions of the camera, he sees these photographs as "personal documents." The people pic tured are either friends or relatives. Kleth Jacobshagen Perhaps more philosophical Is the exhibit of this graphically oriented artist. Paintings of midwest em winter landscapes are displayed across from a photographic essay. Jacobshagen did not wish to schematize his exhibition in much the same manner as Alinder. The artist did say that the photos represented "parts of the American! social landscape." Several elongated pictures of a dark nude figure wrapped in cellophane introduce the ex hibit. Actually these are two separate frames that have been placed side by side and then retaken as a complete image. Those introductory shots may be the skeleton of the rest of the figure (the remaining photos). "Isn't everything wrapped in cellophane today?" J a cobshagen questioned. "We are as endangered of being restricted just as some of the images are." A penetrating portrait of a group of tired women sitting on a bench surrounded by cigarette butts and an at mosphere of smog and squalor, particularly un d e rscores Jacobshagen's opening statement. Fantasy serves as a foil to some of the harder edged photos. "I've always been intrigued by trucks. At truck stops, I'd get out and look at the diesels." One photograph distorts the cab of a truck out of proportion. It was taken at a Grand Island truck stop. The paintings are fan tastical too. "I'm a winter person," mused the artist. A series of seemingly rebundant pain tings reveals, upon closer examination, diverse colors and textures. "The pictures look monochromatic, but in reality there are twenty to STABLE 415 7293 Rtitrvottni I SAT. OCT. All SEATS RESERVED lOXOMICi. IMNOIII. PtNNtVt, OtPARTMINTt.
