"It's called a stonefence, because it hits you like one," he joked. "It goes down so smooth." "Yea, there's a lot of-memories here," he added, but one incident last year sticks out in his mind. "It was right after the drinking age was changed to 18," he recalled. "A young fella came la and asked for a six-pack of beer. I knew he was 18 because I know his parents.

A little later I got a call from him. "He told me he lost his wallet and thought maybe it was still here. I checked the bar and then asked him if he had looked in his car." "I don't have a car Mr. he replied. "I rode my bicycle."

Mr. Carney said.

SAWDUST covers the bare-wood floor, while the metal pipe foot rest, along the bottom of the bar, shows worn spots from the feet that have rested upon it for the past certlury. The floor is uneven, while thd bar droops toward the front, giving patrons a tipsy feeling before they've had a drink. A rocking chair shows three shades of green through its chipping paint, while another is covered by some worn material draped over the back.

"We get all types of people in here, young and old," Mr. Caeney said, pointing to a construction worker sitting on one of the worn bar stools. He was wearing a red hat, and muddy red boots, sipping a beer and swapping tales with a man in a business suit.

Carney married his daughter, Jane, 20 years ago. The Inn has been in the Moore family for 75 years. "A double VO for my friend and give me a bottle of beer," ordered a black construction worker, as Arnold finished mixing the other drink. "Hey! That's some collection," the man remarked, looking over his head at the many old horse memorabilia. "That's really some collection.

I'm from the farm, I know them all," he added, starting a conversation with everyone else at the bar. "It's great here," said one man, pushing himself in a rocking chair across from the 906 OCEAN P7.

"You can sit and watch television, talk or just sit and think." "Treat people as you find them that's my theory," Mr.

Carney said. "We never have any trouble here. Why, in the 20 years I've had this place, I've only had to call the police once, and that was when I was robbed." "Face it. "There's only one way to get here and that's by driving and we make sure that when someone leaves they can drive." "We worry about our customers," he continued.

"Tanjah" (Polydor PD-5055), played by a big band of New York heavyweights, reflects credit on all concerned; Weston for his tunes and incisive, earthy yet academically impeccable piano, Melba Liston in her customary role as Weston's arranger and conductor; and a clutch of soloists ranging from the incredible stratospheric trumpeter Jon Faddis, 20, to the ageless Budd Johnson, soprano sax, 63.

So many elements present that categorization is impossible. One track, "Sweet Meat," is straight, pretty Basie dance-music a la "Li'l Darlin'," but the title number, with its oud solo and narrative in Arabic, mirrors Weston's more recent influences. "Jamaica East" is calypso-flavored; "Hi Fly" is Latin jazz with Cuban rapping by drummer-narrator Candido; "The Last Day" is an exquisite lone-piece, almost Ellingtonian in its use of a wordless female voice (Delores Ivory Davis). In short, the most stimulating and eclectic big-band jazz album of the past year, I well worth keeping in mind for the 1974 Grammy awards. Chick Corea, recently voted jazzman of the year by Down Beat, justifies this show of hands in an introspective series of tone poems on "Jazz Improvisations Vol.

1" (Polydor LCM-10I4), and again as composer of the opening track on "Gary Burton: The New Quartet" (Polydor ECM-1030). The latter sets off the young genius of the vibraphone in what may be his most sympathetic context to date. The instrumentation just guitar, bass, drums and the leader in itself assures good vibes, in every sense of the term. Keith Jarrett, Carla Bley, and Burton himself are among the composers who stimulate the brain cells while soothing the rock-racked ear. Like Chick Corea, three other experts in sonic water colors on new releases are all Miles Davis alumni.

Bassist Dave Holland leads a spacey quartet in "Conference of the Birds" (Polydor ECM-1027); pianist-organist-flutist Keith Jarrett, one of those artists so infuriatingly over-talented that he defies definition, shares billing with drummer Jack I)e Johnelle in "Ruta Plus Daitya" (Polydor ECM-1021). His blowing on the title tune is strictly tongue-ln-flule, but "Sounds of Peru" and the brief, beautiful "Pastel Morning" attest to Jarrctt's ability, at the piano, to deploy a spectrum of colors with a sensitivity rare In any artist since Bill Evans. Highly recommended also, if your tastes lean to the school of what's happening now, is "Pat MartinoLlve" (Muse 5026). Recorded by this scholarly yet soulful guitarist at a Greenwich Village club, the three long tracks circumnavigate the jazz globe, their ports of OH Highway 33 on Rout SJ7, Fraahold, N.J.

Should this be too hot for your tired blood, try the more conservative but in no less edifying guitar manner of George Barnes. Teamed with trumpeter Ruby Braff, a second guitarist and a bassist, Barnes shows his respect for Gershwin, Porter and Lennon-McCartney on Chiaroscuro CR-121. The 10 succinct performances (including three originals) show how Braff-Barnes almost stole the show from Benny Goodman at Newport in New York last summer.

Following are capsule comments on other new releases: l.cs McCann: Layers (Atlantic SD 16 16). Intriguing multiple keyboarding. Flip Phillips in Florida (Onyx OKI 211). The tenor sax veteran also makes his debut as a bass clarinetist. Buddy Tate and his Buddies (Chiaroscuro R-123).

Mainstream music with Roy Eld-ridge, Illinois Jacquet, Mary Lou Williams. Cecil Payne-Duke Jordan: Brooklyn Brothers (Muse MR-5015). Good bop-inspired fare by two excellent players, Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Bright Moments (Atlantic SD-2-907). Not up to par. Jeremy Slelg: Moniiini (Columbia KC-32579).
