Review: Jark De Johnettr • • •
Saxophonist Alex Foster. Bassist Mike Richmond. Guitarist John Abercrombie
and leader of the agragation Jack De Johnette got down
got down
got down!!
Both shows Sunday at Jazz De Opus were sold out to jazz enthusiasts in and
around Portland. The quintet played nearly two hours of almost non stop musical
pleasure. They played three tunes in all.
The first being “ Directions," and
directions it was; they took the audience on a musical trip with an uptempo flavor
that was thoroughly satisfying to the soul. "Timeless" the second number a John
Abercrombie composition set the stage for a nice duet between De Johnette on
keyboard and Abercrombie on guitar, a soft up and down tune that left the
audience in timeless awe. The third tune had a Carribean flavor that sent the
crowd out of De Opus floating on a natural high.

Review: l a Belle • • •
Saturday night offered quite a bit of entertainment around Portland, but for the
fortunate people who attended the La Belle concert at the Paramount Northwest
theater, it was the only thing happening
period!! La Belle set fire to the place
from start to finish. There was instant rapport between the audience and the very
talented trio.
What Can You do for Me," along with “ Lady Marmalade." shook
down the rafters and exploded the crowd into bedlam. I am sure you've heard
people say at once time or another. “ You should have been there." "A ll I ran say
is, you should have been there!!!"
Review: Bobby Blue Bland • • •
There is one thing that I've always appreciated about jazz and blues music, you
could appreciate it ten years ago as you do today. Friday night at the Upstairs
Lounge was no exception
For those of you who were fam iliar with the old 5-4
Ballroom in Los Angeles remember the Giants of the music industry that
entertained there nightly. A uthor Prystock. Diana Washington. BB King. Johnny
Taylor and a gentleman who could pack the house w ith more females than any
(»erformer I can think of. Bobby Blue Bland. Bobby started the set with "A in 't
That Loving You Baby." followed by “ Til Take Care of You:“ " I Pitv The Fool;"
'The Feeling Is Gone;" "That's The Way Love Is;" his new hit single " I Wouldn't
Treat A Dog (The Way You Treat M el." In all. Bobby sang nine tunes all were his
and all were Gold Records. The Mel Johnson Band was just out of sight. I am
inclined to think they would rather be noted as a jazz band as opposed to blues,
because they play it so well naturally. Garnett Mimms is a good performer in his
own right and did a good job in getting the crowd in the groove. I f you missed
Bobby Blue Bland the five days he was here, shame on you he's one of the best
singers around today, and yesterday.
Review: King Scholarship Dance • • •

DISCO-Lounges come to Portland
Todays radio sound for a lot of Rocs
and Soul stations across the country is
directed toward "DISCO."
Disco has
been defined by many musicians and
artists as dance music which originated
several years ago on the East coast.
Today disco dances such as "The
Bump", "Kung Fu", "The Hustle" and
many others are spreading w ith great
acceptance to other areas outside of the
Black neighborhoods where they were
created. In many parts of the country,
clubs and entertainment halls that used
to cater to predominately live enter
tainment have switched to "DISCO"
shows, where disc jockeys spin records
nightly.
Portland. Oregon has recently ex
perienced the Disco sound through the
introduction of KQIV FM radio.
The
?*t»*.<»*♦- weni quadraphonic soul station
which made its debut July "74 and
brought a new awareness to music
minded listeners. Because most Disco
records are from Black artists
K tjt
embark«‘d on a hit or miss situation to
see what the acceptance level would
b»- results....Great!
A fte r twelve months
the Disco
sound became more and more |>opular
What one station started back in July
has now spread in recognizable degree
to local Rock and
Contemporary
stations.
W ith six Disco Lounges in Portland.
K il l has marked another debut, which
was initiated on September 23rd. 1975
