CosAnflelesSfaneo 2 Part VIThursday, September 28, 1989 JAZZ REVIEW OPENINGS MORNING REPORT Arts and entertainment reports from The Times, national and international news services and the nation's press. FIRST OFF British rock star Paul McCartney started his first world tour In 13 years on Tuesday, dusting off Beatles classics in a concert in the Norwegian town of Drammen, near Oslo. Relaxed and joking, McCartney and his band which includes his wife Linda on keyboards played for more than two hours to a sell-out crowd of 6,000. Of McCartney's 27-song concert, more than a dozen were Beatles tunes, including "Hey, Jude." "Yesterday," "Eleanor Rigby," "Let It Be" and "Back in the U.S.S.R." The remaining songs were from McCartney's solo career, including several from his new album, "Flowers in the Dirt" Dressed in a casual gray suit and open-necked white shirt, McCartney, 47, switched from the bass to keyboards and guitar. A convert to the "green" cause, he is using the tour to help raise awareness of ecological issues.

"We have an opportunity to save the planet Let's do it tonight," he told the audience. McCartney begins the U.S. leg of his tour with five shows at the Forum in Inglewood on Nov. 23-24 and 27-29. day-Sunday.

His pieces (many of which were from a new album not yet released in the U.S.) occasionally touched upon samba rhythms, but as with his playing, they didn't quite manage to get beneath the surface into the heart of the matter. Curiously, the evening's best moments came during a brief excursion through "'Round Midnight" and a rousing blues. Gary Meek's saxophone work provided some previously missing voltage, while bassist Bob Harrison, drummer Bernie Dresel and percussionist Ron Wagner freed of the need to read Adolfo's unfamiliar charts played with a loose and driving swing.

But the program, in total, left a lot to be desired. In his native Brazil, Adolfo is both a performer and a teacher. For this outing, at least, we heard too much of the didacticism of the teacher and too little of the passion of the performer.

He has a book of short stories out entitled "Tales From Margaritaville Fictional Facts and Factual Fictions" and six of the songs on his latest album, "Off to See the Lizard," are based on stories from that book. The book, which is dedicated to his parents, is described as two parts autobiography and one part fiction and is his second published work. Last year, Buffett and his daughter, Savannah Jane, collaborated on a children's book, "The Jolly Mon," and they have another coming in 1990. Art Garfunkel has also gone literary. His first collection of poetry has been published under the title "Still Water." In addition to his poems about love, travel and memories, the book includes excerpts of an interview the singer.

MUSIC The New York City Opera has threatened to cancel the rest of its season if a two-week-long musicians' strike is not settled by Oct 8. "Unless there is movement, we aren't going to have a season," said Martin J. Oppenheimer, vice chairman and chief negotiator of the City Opera. The warning followed the collapse of a Monday night bargaining session. No further talks are scheduled.

"There is no question the film business is good for San Francisco," Agnos declared at a fancy City Hall news conference and feast He credited Lori-mar Productions' "Midnight Caller" and CBS-TV's "Wolf with bringing "$16 million this season into the local economy." Agnos said that the two series employ more than 450 local people as actors and skilled workmen for a weekly payroll of more than $280,000, plus prop, wardrobe and other purchases.

The high point of the event occurred when the mayor interrupted "Wolf star Jack Scalia-who at the moment was lavishing praise on the city to give him a hearty kiss on the cheek. "Saturday Night With Connie Chung" which emulated Walter Cronkite's "You Are There" with a re-creation of history in its CBS debut last Saturday night will be leaning more toward Barbara Walters this Saturday with an interview of Jane Fonda. Fonda will discuss her separation from husband Tom Hayden, concerns about growing older, and feelings about the death of her father, Henry Fonda. And in a further blurring of the line between news and entertainment Chung has filmed a cameo appearance on her network's "Murphy Brown." Ironically, the episode has Murphy and the FYI news team becoming the subject of a situation comedy. The episode is scheduled to air next month.

MOVIES Acclaimed contemporary visual and performance artist Robert Longo has signed a deal to direct his first feature film for Elektra Entertainment The film's screenplayby Longo and producer Victoria Hamburg is based on a short-story thriller by William Gibson entitled "Johnny Mnemonic," about a man who stores information in his head. Longo will premiere his performance piece "Dream Jumbo" at UCLA's Royce Hall on Oct 6. and 7. A 12-year retrospective of his artworks opens Sunday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art In a victory for the Directors Guild of America, the National Film Preservation Board on Tuesday voted to broadly define "mate-rial alteration" of the 25 classic movies it recently deemed worthy of protection. Under the board's action, these films must carry a warning label if they are materially altered, unless the changes are needed to conform to TV networks' standards and practices on sex, violence and foul language, or for insertion of commercials and public-service announcements.

The directors had opposed a more narrow interpretation that would give TV stations and film producers greater latitude in editing. VIDEO CHARTS Adolfo: Brisk, Not Intense Does Brazil have its own set of baby boomers? If so, then Antonio Adolfo must be high on their list of ave raves. The relatively unknown in this country, at least Brazilian composer-keyboardist appeared at Le Cafe Tuesday night with a group of local musicians in a program that almost bubbled over with effervescent good nature. Adolfo's keyboard work was brisk and lively, and his compositions were melodic and easily accessible the stuff of which New Wave, jazz-based, yuppie Muzak is made. So what was the problem? A lack of intensity, for one thing.

Adolfo's music promised the passion and the sensuality of Brazil, but never quite managed to deliver it His solos reverberated with clas CBS PROBE Continued from Page 1 of the footage that it said was included on the "CBS Evening News" in 1984 and in a 1987 "CBS Reports" documentary. In July, 1987, Rather anchored a documentary, "The Battle for Afghanistan," that included footage shot by Hoover that previously had aired on "CBS Evening News." At the time, CBS said that the footage in the documentary represented 18 trips that Hoover and his crew had made into Afghanistan over three years. CBS News sources said Wednesday that Rather was very concerned about the staging allegation. "He would never stand for that" said one source. Others at the network questioned why the report was surfacing now, more than two years after the "CBS Reports" aired.

The New York Post story, quoting sources that it said included an Afghan rebel who served as Hoover's translator and an Afghan-British journalist who was Hoover's second cameraman on a second project in Afghanistan, alleged that Hoover staged scenes of guerilla sabotage and edited in video footage of a Pakistani plane to make it appear to be a Soviet jet PC. iriallisjsf Mr JSS wxnwoooMOTCmoMMiu mWiMTON MomMMiDXMM DWMI00.ia.U6. lAKsewntwia dmt 1 1 00. i i a. i7 IMtXOWHUW.IDim whom powg irttm UWMMCinarOaroliMnaCyOnTioillllliOKMI: MUMMMU IEOHMM SoCOlCnrapc EOaoOISoumCoal ammtix nansm AMOVOgtANDI CUCMWNM HUM! tttavdiflanctw MOUavnU Cuccmonoo SAKSHfaiO (7 14)9(9 MM AMCStoctOlM 0UMONOIM (SU)124477( MottnDOnort tinm unMdMuiiuiiHk aran IM(IOt)tnW teoavsoCtf i lagtio LAOWOOOf) Pocflc'ilatooad cawsinw IOMSKMH UMMfcMlMovM 99H6M MAMUIUNMACtt Mam6 tOIOIS MABMADEUV UnMAKWCnnio 9M-UU MMOIVVJO EtfMOdlCfOwnVQlty (I1MOI20 MA Mam tea tan (714) SIMMS 7I4)MI-WD MlHTOtt MCMMftl AMC Eutxtt 10 eilNDMI IID9U4I00 ummi CHMO (UIMl-4ia) AMCCNrelwn Sam 10 Mom MjMtfonOofcl MOMtmNUK WMrwamM 14 ATM EdwonaMontawMal POClflC'lCoiTtflWCt thtoMnMOH COQONA idwordl Corona II (714) 279.1100 towora ChartaiCanM mrKMIUCrl (714)1414770 EowordTi Newport avM Cnmol7l4)44O70 EaMVxdDMgi NOtrXMCXiVWOOO (714)5610064 Onuy (dlOSCKOX iamkadaO N0tiMn POOACiLoMradQ Podlc'INorTMOOt Cm III!) 114)0 (714)146-3102 AiMoatn townCantw (619) WWII (MM IHIIIW Courtyon Ctntuy ((03)4664611 IAIDWW HUI (oldwinCorrKMr.

Hoover, who has covered Afghanistan as a regular freelancer for CBS News for several years, has been well-regarded by the network, according to CBS News sources. In a 1987 interview with The Times, Hoover said that Rather was "really the muscle" behind his CBS assignment to cover the war. In The Times interview, Hoover, an Academy Award-winning documentary film maker, said that he didn't consider himself a news cameraman in the traditional sense.

"I'm really kind of a film maker," he said.

ON THE MEND Singer Billy Joel was recovering Wednesday from surgery to remove a kidney stone.

The 40-year-old entertainer collapsed Sunday at New York's Kennedy Airport as he was about to board a plane for London, where he was to promote his new album, "Storm Front," which will be released next month. He underwent surgery on Tuesday and is expected to make "a speedy recovery," said his wife, model Christie Brinkley.

The sun set on "Tequila Sunrise," which had been the No. 1 rental for the last few weeks. "Sunrise" slipped to No. 3. "Cousins," starring Ted Danson and Isabella Rossellini, entered the chart at No.

15. This romantic comedy, which did decent box-office business ($21.8 million), could make the rental Top 10. One of the hottest holiday titles will be "The Land Before Time," the feature-length cartoon about young dinosaurs learning to cope without parents in those wild prehistoric days. A box-office hit that grossed $46 million, it's expected to be second only to "Bambi" in the lucrative Christmas kid-vid market. It debuted on the rental chart at No.

35, but it won't be a huge rental item. Instead, parents will be buying "Land," which is priced before heavy discounting-at $24.95. -DENNIS HUNT 714853-1000 Clnadom 714634-2553 SANTA ANA Edwordi Hutlon CaMn8 Cmamos 714882-2268 IHX Wait 7M89V3835 awooouaoiaus UnMd ArtHn Wotnar COM 8W988-2130 Prtw.a.1.
