Cuda There is always a place and time to stop and sit back to see how far one has traveled. Last issue there wasn’t an article for “ Bar Stoppin,” simply because one must break from the old and start with the new.

A special thanks must be extended to a fraternity brother of mine, Steven Girardi, who is the 1978-79 Utica College Tangerine editor. Steven had originated a column in the Tangerine called Bar Hoppin’, an dit was received by the college community. Steven’s direction and espirit de corps and his articles, per se, lead me to a new title “Bar Stoppin” and Steven’s thoughts concerning party places. Thanks Steve. Records By Steve Spellicy U.K.: U.K. is the resurrection of an artrock era gone by (or soon to come back). Their attack is unrelenting and as diverese as music itself. Finally exposed is Eddie Jobson of Roxy Music who wrote much of the material and plays brilliant electric violin and keyboards. The artistic rock of the new defunct King Crimson seems to be U.K.’s driving influenec; two members are here, John Wetton (voice, bass) and Bill Bruford (Drums). Ex-Soft Machine and Gong guitarist Allan Holdsworth brings blinding runs and a progressive jazz influence to, the music, It is a stunning, dynamic debut. A. Steve Hackett: Please Don’t Touch! From'Kim Poor’s violent Fairy tale caver to Steve Hackett's many moods, “Please Don’t Touch!” has something for everyone. For rock lovers there is Kansas vocalist Steve Walsh and drummer Phil Ehart. Tom Fowler, a F. Zappa spin-off plays bass. For purists, Richie Havens sings a couple of ballads. (There’s even some strings and Necam the computer.) Overall, ex-Genisis guitarist Steve Hackett has put together here a very detailed and imagina tive record. It is both subtle and exciting. B plus. Elvis Costello: This Year’s Model If you can get past that absurd image and lay aside your inhibi tions, Elvis Costello just may interest you. As a whole, “This Year’s Model” is both exciting and creative enough for me to believe that Elvis does not want to be passed off as a mere novelty act. A novelty act (such as the ex-sex pistols almost weren’t) simply don’t demonstrate such talent. Not too redundent. B. Brian Auger and Julie Tippetts: Encore The last time these two made an album it was 1969. Jazz was becoming electric and virtusoity rarer. In 1978 Jazz is mellowing and virtuosity abounds. Brian Auger arranged and produced “Encore.” His trade mark, the Hammond organ is present throughout. Julie Tippetts (nee Driscoll) has long been a devoted participant in Land’s Fre-Jazz scene. Her explosive voice has been characterized as similar to a Saturn V rocket. Together they are an Encore. B plus. The following two artists were members of a jazz-rock group called “Return To Forever” (RTF). During the middle 70’s their electronic tendencies became well known and very influencing. Chick Corea: The Mad Hatter Jazz pianist Chick Corea does not produce solo albums, he creates musical fantasies. This one, based on Alice in Wonderland is predominantly acoustic and of course, imaginative. It is complex, technical jazz. Dominant members include Joe Farrell (sax, flute) Gayle Moran (vocals) Steve Gadd (Drums) and Eddie Gomez (bass). Herbie Hancock plays a Fender Rhodes on “Mad Hatter Rhapsody.” A pro duct of the Miles Davis clan. B plus. Stanley Clarke: Modern Man After years of backing up C. Corea in RTF, S. Clarke alias “Modern Man\ has sophisticated beyond jazz. As far as Funk, soul, and disco is concerned this is an. o.k. album. However thru the years one has become accustpmed to much more than what Clarke offers us here. Actually when you compare Clarke’s ’76 release “School Days” to this, one must wonder what the hell happened. I think Clarke is trying to tell us that “Modern Man” is a product of the social funk scene at disco bars. C minus.
