The Syracuse Jazz scene is widening 1n scope and

They have added two new bands to their five night s of
jazz. the Straight Life Trio, and the L ou Ment1 s
Quartet .
Straight Life is a young trio f eaturing a "Chick
Corea" style and are acousti cally oriented, as are all
the Casa Di Lisa's attract1ons. The newest entree on
the club's menu is the L ou Ment1s Trio, who can best
be described as rhythm and blues based jazz .
Marcus Curry, a Casa Di Lisa regular in the past,
was chosen as the opener for Syracuse's newest Jazz
c lub, the Spirit of 35. The excellent guitarist IS f ea-
tur ed with his group, Wednesdays through Saturdays
until Feb. 12 in the 35's beaut1ful surroundi-ngs.
The Spirit of 35 also boasts being the home of the
WONO-FM 107.9 all night jazz broadcasts ever y night
except Sunday start1ng at 1:00AM from their spacious
yet comfortable surroundings.
The Dinkier L ounge, recently r emodeled, r emains
an active source of "Golden Jazz" . Jazz rock can be
found wherever the groups Steam or the Dave Hanl on
Trio are, currently at the Under the Stone in Skanea-
teles. Syracuse' University's Jabberwocky will be
booking jazz sometimes bigger names, and surpnses
so be on the look out for their schedule, whi ch f ea-
tures the Dan Carter Ouintet,aformerDizzyGillespie
sideman.
Hopefully with this recent surge of jazz locally
some one will be able to attract big name jazz on a
regular club basis (and they are now the right sized,
mterested clubs to do it). J.S.

CLUB SCENE
The Tralfamadore Cafe took a giant step forward
last month by booking Stone Alliance for two nights.
The trio consists of former sidemen of Elvin Jones
and Miles Davis and their music ref I ected those
prestigious associations. Steve Grossman, tenor sax-
ophone, I eft no doubt that he is one of the best few
to carry on the spirit of Coltrane. It was possibly
his best performance ever due to the trio situation
and the fact that this was the pr emier appearance of
the group. Don Alias was simply a monster. A power -
house of contro lied energy and masterfu I dynamics
on trap drums. Oddly enough hi s main axe is congasl
Gene Perla's electric bass work was lyrical and
refreshing without being overpowering, distorted or
overdone . Each note has a distinct meaning and he
deserves the worldwide reputation he now enjoys.
As a unit, Stone Alliance is highly energized,
rhythmically complex and (by the 4th show) close
knit. Their electrif1ed sound will soon reach the jazz
fans of South America on their up-coming tour .
All four shows were sold out (despite the weather )
and word is that they'll be back.
Two groups that have been enjoying an accelerat-
ing I eve I of popularity are Spira Gyra & Flight. Each
projects a '70s sound and is composed of excellent
soloists. Try to catch them soon.
The Cotton Club on Niagara Falls Blvd. has been
featuring Spider Martin, who's been packing them in
six nights a week . Spider is well known all over and
should be heard by everyone. The Cotton Club will
continue in the jazz format and we wish them the
Qreatest success. . . .
Sam Noto was up to his usual h1gh level dunng h1s
four nights at the Ericson Lounge last month. He was
superbly backed by Jaman-piano, Jim Kerzdorfer -
bass and Harry Pender -drums. The audience, mostly
composed of younger jazz fans, was treated to jazz
classics and a good amount of Noto originals. How-

ABERCROMB I E/ HOL LAND/ DeJOHNETTE -
GATEWAY - ECM 1061
John Abercrombie has been featured on a good
amount of records recent I y. Gateway is one of the best .
All three of these musicians are among the t op in
their fi eld, but some of their work t ogether has been
less than great - e.g. albums under DeJohnette's
name. Here they carry off the trio situation with ease -
constant I y work mg off their own and each oth ers ide as .
May Dance is an 11 minute trip in creative improvi -
sat1on. Perhaps the best cut is Back- Woods Song- a
spaced out feature for Abercrombie with Holland and
DeJohnette driving, steady and controlled. Much of
Abercrombies work is heavily electrified, and ifthats
your pr eference this album shoul d definit ely please
you. B .W.
JOHN LEE and GERRY BROWN - BLUE NOTE -
BN- LA541-G
Drummer Gerry Brown has teamed up with bassist
John Lee and released a fine listening album. The
music presented is along the I ines of Alphonse
Mouzon, but a touch mell owe r . Eft Albert s is re-
freshing on el ectric guitar, with numerous individuals
soloing on synthesizer - most notably Rob Franken
and El event h House's Mike Mandel . Gerry Brown
powers throughout, whil e funky John Lee lays the
groundwork. The result is cl ean and fast moving. T .M.
WILLIS JACKSON - HEADED & GUTTED - MUSE 5048
The second outing on Muse records for W i ll1 s
Jackson is an enjoyabl e set of bluesy, soulful jazz .
The word gutted in the titl e serves well as a descrip-
ti on of Willi s' sound. It has gut s. Superb support
comes from Pat Mart ino, Mi ckey Tuck er, Bob Cran -
shaw & Freddi e Waits. The blues tracks with Tucker
on organ and Pat 's straight ahead soloing capture my
attention the most. Perhaps the reason that so many
of producer Don Schl itten's sessions are a success is
that he allows the musi cian to have hi s cho1ce of
accompanying musi cians as well as material . Thi s one
is just good list ening B. W.

ESTHER PHILLIPS- CONFESSIN THE BLUES - AT-
LANTIC 1680
This one takes us back to Esther's late 60's
Atlanti c period. It is not, however, a re-issue. All of
the tracks here are issued for the first time. Side
one was done with a 17 piece orchestra led by Onzy
Matthews . For the most, the session is laid back and
the tunes are short. By contrast, side two was done
live at the Pied Piper with the quartetof Jack Wilson,
Ike Isaacs, Chuck Rainey and Donald Bailey. The
same date produced her Atlantic album Burnin(1565) .
The highlight is the blues medley (Blow Top, Jelly
Jelly & Long John Blues) running 10 minut es . Good
vocal work from Esther, recommended especially
for her new fans. B.W.
