I I \ Pag* 6 Portland Observer Thursday. November 13, 1975 P lay seeks actors t7(Ú SM A M M I GtuÜ by Alleo J m m F a trrta in m e n t Ratinga • F a ir - Good - • • • Excellent The Harvest Ball • • • The Hamiltones Quintet consisting of: Elise Henderson on piano. Art Bradford on drums, Albert Johnson on bass, along with Al Hickerson, leader, on alto saxophone, provided the entertainment for the evening at the Harvest Ball on Friday night. Although the room wasn't filled to capacity the Hamiltones entertained as though they were playing to a standing room only crowd. Their musical selections went fropi Shangra La to the Hustle with: Misty. I Left My Heart In San Francisco, A Taste of Honey. Ain't No Sunshine and others. The atmosphere at the Pang Club on the Air Base was pleasant. With the intimate crowd on hand, one got the feeling it was a party with a group of friends who hadn't seen each other in sometime. Charmens and Virginia Jones came up from Salem to attend the Ball, along with George and Connie Rankin s. Mr and Mrs Al Jamison. Delores Leggroan and Dr. Brown. Terry Williamson, and many others. In all. it was a very nice evening and I am sure everyone there enjoyed it as weli. Jeanne Hoffman •• Jeanne Hoffman is not a new name to Jazz in or outside of Portland. She's been playing the piano since the tender age of eight. She has played from coast to coast for years. She's played the Village Vanguard in New York to Basin Street in San Francisco. As Jeanne tells it, she had just arrived in San Francicso and was walking by Basin Street just before it opened, she went in to ask if the Club needed a piano player and they did and thus became the first piano player at the world famous Basin Street Night Club. So when I read a review on her a couple of weeks ago, that she was playing at the Helm on Broadway. I had to go down and check her out. Jeanne and her bass player David Friesen did a forty five minute set of mostly up-tempo compositions that for the most part were over the heads of most of the crowd. She was playing the Lonious Monk style to a Ramsey Lewis audience. I thought that was very distasteful as a professional for her to trip like that. Aside from her sporadic fits of untimely laughter during the performance, she also lost the attention of the audience on a couple of her selections. Her song styling could use a little coaching if she persist on trying to sing. I am by no means putting down her talent as a professional pianist, but her ego is so inflated that she has to applaude after her performances. Down girl down.
