Bassist Performs For 400 Albums By MARY CAMPBELL AP Newsfeatures Bassist Roy Carter has played on more than 400 record albums which makes him, as far as he knows, the mostrecorded jazz player in the last two decades. On six he was the leader and on the rest he was a sideman. But don't be misled. A conversation with Carter is not a chat with a typical sideman. He is called for record dates because of widespread respect for his talent and he knows that.

In conversation he doesn't pour false modesty around his ego or sugar coating around anger he feels for the lot of black musicians. When he received a master's degree from the Eastman School of Music in 1961, Carter says he found he wasn't told about openings in symphonies. Thirty years ago, and 30 minutes ago, he says, American symphony orchestras weren't anxious to hire black musicians. Carter joined Chico Hamilton's group for some dates and was part of Miles Davis's group from 1963-68. Otherwise, he has free lanced in jazz.

"I would like not to be one of the troops. I've always felt I wouldn't want to be like anybody else. What kind of fun is that? Art requires a personal stamp. I'm going to play the way hear it. I don't want to be a spear carrier for a tradition I don't agree So, now, not only does Carter not want to be a member of a symphony and he also has priced himself out of that market but he doesn't want to play classical works which have solo bass parts with orchestras.

"It's not what I want to do. You're totally wrong if you play it differently from the way it was written. I feel so opposed to that Carter's own albums have been one on Prestige in 1961, one on Embryo in 1970 and four on CTI, "Blues "Spanish Blue" and "Anything Goes," out in October. On each album there have been compositions by Carter; on Goes" there are three. "It's to illustrate that I'm not only a player but also interested in writing." One of his compositions is Special." "My son, in school, had to take a word and make other words out of it.

The gimmick was to see who could make the most words. He was the winner of the contest. He used 117 letters. "Sometimes I think of the tune as about the last train leaving from somewhere and someone has just missed it. It depends on my mood.

"Sometimes I hear a melody in my head and write it down without thinking of a situation. I've written about 45 tunes and I'm starting to work on words now. Most of his compositions have come out of his black background, Carter says. Conversation' was four years ago. 'Rally' was 14 years ago.

'Blues Farm' is the Post Office, because of the blue uniforms. Post Office is the graveyard for black talent. can't find a job using your talent you can get stuck in the Civil Service in there. "Now if I write about my indigenous background, people say I'm selling out. I established what I wrote about 15 years ago.

You can't change RON CARTER the acoustic bass, because of the wider range of music available to it, to the electric music scene that people like Hancock and Shorter have moved to. He makes a clear distinction in his opinion of groups like Weather Report and rock bands. "Most rock bands are a horrendous joke on the public. They're abominable. To have people think that what music is all about is a Carter, who was born 38 years ago in Royal Oak Township, first took up cello.

But he saw that two white cello players were being sent to money-paying functions Detroit from their high school, SO he switched to bass, which nobody was playing, so he'd get some jobs, too. When he received, a scholarship to the School of Music in 1955, he says, "I knew that jobs for a black graduate were immediately zero. I was aware of that when I was 17 and 18. It didn't faze me then. I was determined I was going to beat the system and be better than anybody else and they'd have to call me.

I found out that was hardly the case. To be better wasn't enough. You had to also be white." So I said, 'I'm going to proceed on my own And that has been mainly free lancing on recordings." One thing Carter thinks bass players should do is insist on taking solos when they're members of jazz bands and in general put themselves and their instrument more in the foreground. "I think my presence on the musical scene has kind of changed some things. The sound I have, my style of playing and what I play I hope have made some listeners a what people think.

Some people say you're selling out by having a hit record. And they say people like Herbie Hancock are selling out now that he's a commercial artist. I don't call them that. Herbie's 'Watermelon Man' is not much different now than when he first did it." And a player like Wayne Shorter, now in Weather Report, is finding that listeners are motivated to check out records he was making 10 or 15 years ago. "His records from 1963 to 1969 are getting more radio play now than they did then and selling more now, too." For himself, Carter prefers little more conscious of the bass sound in a group as opposed to accepting it and listening to something else."

The investment has paid off. "We have been married 23 years and that seems to be a danger zone in many Mrs. Perkins said. "But ours has been strengthened. "For all we know, we may even have been spared the termination of a marriage because of what happened to Glen." Glendon W.

Perkins had been a prisoner for years, and during that time his wife had transformed from a timid, dependent homemaker into an eloquent, sometimes militant spokeswoman for the National League of American POWs and MIAs. Kay Perkins' emancipation had begun in 1966, about six months after her husband's Air Force plane was shot down over North Vietnam. "I realized that I was alone and had to make decisions for myself and our four children," said Mrs. Perkins, 38. "Glen had always managed the money, made the major decisions.

But he suddenly wasn't around any more, and I had no alternative but to try and take his place. Those years were my growing years. In numerous television and newspaper interviews during those years, Mrs. Perkins voiced the fears of many of the POW wives that their husbands might be disillusioned when returning home to find the girls they left behind had grown up. In February 1973 Perkins, an Air Force navigator, was one of the first released POWs to return home, and he met his family at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama amidst Mint Tea Is A Great Refresher love is LAU Pistachios for her.

In cool weather, Mint Tea is delightful served hot. In warm weather, Mint Tea is wonderfully refreshing served iced. MINT TEA 1 tablespoon whole cloves 1 cup loose tea leaves cup dried mint flakes 2 tablespoons dried diced orange peel Wrap cloves in a piece of clean old sheeting or tripled cheesecloth.

Makes about cups. To brew, use one rounded teaspoonful of the Mint Tea mixture for each teacup of freshly boiled water used.

Use boiling water to rinse out the inside of the teapot so it will be warm. Add the Mint Tea to the teapot; pour the boiling water over it; stir. Cover and let stand for about three minutes. Pour through a tea strainer into teacups. Pass sugar for those who wish it.

MORE ABOUT MINT The British photographer and mountaineer Tom Stobart, in his fascinating book titled "Herbs, Spices and Flavorings" (McGraw-Hill), writes that mint is commonly used in Spain and Italy, It is his belief, however, that "mint does not combine well with garlic." Thus he does not recommend it for Spanish and Italian dishes in which garlic is used. Stobart goes on to say that "In all the countries of the Levant and Middle East, mint is again a common flavoring, as it also is in We have always met up with mint tea served "as is" or with lemon or lime or-and sugar. Stobart writes that in India mint tea is served hot, sweet and milk-flavored.

But that was Mrs. Perkins said. "It is fruitless to look for similarities to the past. "So after a period of adjustment we began a whole new marriage, for we were totally different people. We were just similar to that other couple who married 20 years before.

Perkins decided to remain in the Air Force, and entered college, where he is studying business administration. Mrs. Perkins said her husband's return posed no deep problems for her children, ranging in ages now from 21 to 17. "While he was away, I tried to run a democratic family with everyone taking part in the decision-making," she said. "But soon after Glen returned home, he told the kids that it was still a democracy and he had all the votes." Many POWs returned home from an unpopular war only to find their marriages broken.

Mrs. Perkins remembers the lost time but considers her marriage now better than ever. Yarbrough Reunion Set The annual David Yarbrough reunion will be held Sunday, June 12, at the Community Building in Semora, N.C. Lunch will be served at 1 p.m. THE BEAUTY BAR 701 Riverside Dr.
