This was no mere musical wedding; it was out right polygamy. Indian ragas and rhythms, European classical concepts, American sounds and African touches were all fused in a work that built to a wild, searing climax in fact, two or three wild, searing climaxes.

Over-long, perhaps; pretentious, true; but when it was over we all knew that Ellis is a major talent as soloist, composer and catalyst. His is a name to watch for in the music of the 1970s. The Ellis work was the only one of the evening that gave full meaning to the term neophonic. Since it was played third among seven works premiered and conducted by Stan Kenton, two were pre-cli-mactic and the rest anti-climactic. Effective Fusion A composition by Dave Grusin provided an occasionally effective fusion of the orchestra with Shelly Manne's excellent quintet.

Bobby Troup's "Oalvelli's Dance" (orchestrated by Bob Enevoldsen) a a march-like, almost Khach-aturianesque quality. Only one work was content to keep a traditional swinging jazz pulse throughout.

His appearance in a work aptly entitled "Synthesis," marked the first conjunction of the Neophonic and Ellis' own group, which delights in the name of the Hindustani Jazz Sextet. Ellis' long verbal introduction, in which he explained that his piece would use Indian rhythmic devices most sophisticated rhythmic system in the became so complex in its explanation of the meters about to be employed that some listeners were a little concerned about not having brought a computer to The Music Center. When the music was performed, however, mathematics no longer seemed relevant. Ragas Outlined The two basic ragas (Indian scales) were outlined by Hari Har Rao, who played the sitar and the ta-bla. The rest of the group comprised a conventional jazz front line (Ellis and alto saxophonist Gabe Bal-tazar), plus mallet and rhythm instruments, all fortified, of course, by the 25 towering neophonicists around them.

The synthesis wound an extraordinarily jagged route from New Orleans to New Delhi, even taking in 'Dolly' Signed for Film Role NEW YORK UP) Carol Channing has been signed to play the role of the richest girl in the world in a film comedy called "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
