GLEASON During the days when modern jazz musicians were busy fighting against tradition and convention for a right to play as they wanted to, the entertainment world was full of jokes about "beboppers," playing "wrong notes." Hero figures like Louis Armstrong were quoted about "them damn beboppers" and comics' marks about guys taking featured remarks about guys taking two lessons and then soloing at 7.7-...r.7.7,"' 7 A 3,, 7s s. it 4.. 1 ,41 I ,4 1 4-14 showmanship.

Still in his early 30s, Big Tiny has to his credit 20 big-selling Coral-Decca record albums and many repeat TV guest appearances with Ed Sullivan, Din a Shore, Al Hirt, Steve Allen, Mike Douglas and Art Linkletter. Prior to his television work the former pianist with the Lawrence orchestra had his own TV show on NBC. I who describes himself as "a left-handed piano player," is a native of Minnesota. He reached national prominence on Welk's TV shows from 1955-59. The jazz-Dixieland musician will keep toes tapping in the Stardust Lounge as he and the group continue to offer a variety of lively tempos.

ADDERLEY and this concern has been echoed by others. As jazz has become more and more a concert music, rock naturally has emerged as the functional dance music of the time. But the important thing is that both musics, Album of Week By now, of course, it is perfectly obvious to all the reconstructed rebels who have turned traditional and New Orleans jazz into a white citizens' council music that the modern jazz revolution of ParkerGillespie-Monk a an important contribution to jazz in specific and to music in that true musicians such as Armstrong are not the enemy of Gillespie and Parker, nor vice versa. As a corollary to this, it has been obvious for many years that classical musicians in general know a great deal less about jazz than jazz musicians know about classical music, as the parochial concepts of Lukas Foss in improvisation clearly showed. Thus it is really with sorrow that I note many important jazz musicians evincing, in their turn, the same purblind attitudes against the new music of rock, even in its more adventuresome electronic aspects.

a si tRay Brown, himself a pioneer and a musical revolutionist in his time, can and does tell the story of a rock guitarist stopping into a music studio and asking to have the guitar tuned ''because I have to make a record date." The truth of the matter, as some jazz musicians are beginning to see, thank heaven, is that with their roots in blues and gospel music and their concern with improvisation, can find a great deal of value in each other. It is just as narrow-minded for the jazz musicians to close their ears to the best of rock as it is for classical musicians to close their ears to jazz, for musicians from the swing era to refuse to listen to modernist and for rock musicians to refuse to listen to jazz. It comes as a shock to a dyed-in-the-wool rock fan to learn there is more to guitar playing than one hears on the Top 40 stations, and that a few hours spent listening to NV Montgomery and Barney Kessel can be highly instructive. It is perfectly obvious that many great performer many great songs and many great lyrics are coming out of the rock field. It is less obvious but none the less true that much fascinating music is now being produced there and all indications are that a great deal more is to come.

virtuoso performance by Terr but more than that, it is a collection of warm, pleasing, swinging music that has humor, strength and a marvelous sense of delight. Aside from Terry, the outstanding soloists are guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist George Duvivier. There's a Latin percussion section which includes Chano Pozo's cousin, Chino, and not, as the album states, Chan himself. lie died almost 18 years. ow 4r 045 per rrecrepeeey For reservation 931-733 Of your trOVOI ,,0,,.,,,,:,.,44,3, 'i.

Thunderbird Henny Youngman, the master of rapid-fire cornedy, and the explosive flamenco dance troupe of Luisa Triana have been teamed up for a dual-package of holiday entertainment in the Hotel Thunderbird's Continental Theatre. Youngman, billed a the "king of the one-liners," shares the first two weeks of his engagement with the Triana dancers, and wraps up his six-week booking joined by the Treniers. With a total of 45 national television dates already logged this year, Youngman rates as one of the busiest and most sought-after comics in the business. This will be his first Las Vegas appearance in more than three years. Youngman's reputation as one of the masters of joke-telling is undisputed.

On a recent television show, he was pitted against a computer that had jokes filed away in categories. Young man won over the computer. Unlike most comedians who back away from the material when a joke point doe sn 't go over, Youngman rushes in where angels fear to a d. With a "here's another one you might not care for" attitude, his backlog of barbs is practically endless. His method of blending bj ects is also quite unorthodox.

He will go from a wife routine to politics to any current topic without stopping for a breath. An accomplished violinist as well, Youngman uses the violin in his act only as a prop and never plays more than a few notes between jokes. The vivacious and skillful Luisa Triana has won an enthusiastic following in the United States, Europe and South America. Her natural ability and sense of rhythm were encouraged by her father, the great Antonio Triana. She made her professional debut at the age of 6, and, while still a teenager, performed in Carnegie Hall and was hailed by the critics not only for her dancing but for her choreography as well.

He now has a bass player who plays an electric bass. Charles Lloyd has used an electric guitarist, Robbie Robertson, who played with Bob Dylan, on recordings.

Cannonball Adderley has been fascinated with the sounds of the Jefferson Airplane (especially those of the bassist Jack Cassady, and of the Grateful Dead and the Paul Butterfield band, and Miles Davis, reportedly, dug Dylan and was once close to going on a concert tour with him. But many jazzmen view the rock boom as a threat.

This is an utterly delightful album in which trumpeter Clark Terry plays and sings a series of Latin tunes and a couple of jazz numbers backed by an all-star studio group led by arrange -c onductor Chico O'Farrill.
