TOM GRANT FOUR * * *
Tom Grant and his band of merry men are currently breaking it u> at the “Helm-
on Broadway. I think it's important when listening to musicians, particularly Jazz
musicians, the “clearity” of their performances. The horn, wind, string and keyboards
should all be heard individually, but collectively as welL Tom Grant and his
aggragation of musicians, do have the “clearity’ of sound that I spoke of earlier.
“Molten Glass’ one of the many selections the group played, is not necessarily an easy
tune to play because of the blending of instruments continuously throughout the
number. The also did “1 Remember April’ an old classic. The timing and phrasing were
very good. Along with “Steppin In It’ and a composition written by drummer Bill
Thomas in 7/4 time called. "To Learn.” A fast, hard moving tune that someone not into
jazz could appreciate because the selection was not incomprehensible. The group
consisting of Bill Goldman on Alto Saxaphone, Bill Thomas on drums. Brad Harris on
flute with a special guest appearance by Bill Harris on Tenor Saxaphone. Harris
added a very nice touch to the selection “I Remember April.” Leader of the group Tom
Grant plays piano and electric organ with style and imagination. The “Tom Grant
Four" will be headling at “Ray’s Helm" for another month. The music is good, the
atmosphere is pleasant, and I wouldn't miss them if I were you!
NEIGHBOR FAIR

What really makes Portland's first annual “Neighbor Fair” so unique from most
given in other parts of the country, is not its all day programming, the time in which it
was given or the thousands of people who attended. But rather, its basic concept and
ourpose. To bring “all” Portland neighborhoods together for an entire day of fun. frolic
and most importantly - “Unity.” Joan Biggs of TV station KGW is to be commended
for conceiving and putting together a city wide activity. That is desine to becoming an
annual attraction to out-of-towners and residents alike. The all day affair drew nearly
50,000 people from all over Oregon, Washington, and Canada. The entire afternoon,
was throughly enjoyable.
