Beethoven’ s Leonore Overture No. 3 and T chaikovsky’ s M anfred Sym
phony fo r performance.
M intz, now 24, has already been acknowledged by celebrated interpreters
o f the instrument as a member o f that rare group possessing a great natural
talent. Isaac Stern recognized his tremendous potential after hearing him
ten years ago in Israel at the in v ita tio n o f his renowned teacher, Ilona
Feher. Since then, he has commanded the attention o f other illustrious art
ists and his radio and television performances in his native Israel, heard
throughout Europe, have won him a huge following.

SCHLOMO M INTZ
Zubin Mehta selected him as a replacement for Itzhak Perlman in a per
formance o f the Paganini Concerto in D with the Israel Philharm onic, on
which occasion he astounded both audiences and critics with his amazing
technique and tone.
His American debut came in 1974 at Carnegie H all with the Pittsburgh
Symphony. Since then he has performed to critical acclaim with the major
orchestras o f America and Europe and in solo recital.
Second Cup is a rich, steaming re fill o f sweet, infectious, and funky sould
from Coffee, D e-Lite/P olyG ram ’ s very own “ dream girls.” Follow ing the
Chicago-based trio ’ s 1980 debut album, S lippin’ and D ip p in ’, Second Cup
should quickly establish Dee Dee Bryant, Gwen Hester, and Elaine Sims as
one o f the m ajor female vocal groups o f the ’80s. Produced by Tony Valor,
the new album is a flavorful blend o f contemporary dance tunes, including
the first single, “ Take Me Back,” and catchy, melodic R&B songs, such as
the Stax-infused “ I W ouldn’ t Give You U p” and “ Love’ s A live.” Extra in
gredients— the lovely ballad, “ Fantasy,” and a new version o f the classic
M arvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell song, “ I f This W orld Were M ine,” sung
as a duet with Leon Bryant (who released an album on De-Lite/PolyGram
last year)— add an extra zest to Coffee’ s terrific brew.
Dee Dee Bryant firs t became interested in music at age 15. O riginally
from Columbus, Georgia, she began working with various groups, commu
nity choirs, and “ singing on hallway stairs and corners.” The com m unity
choir eventually broke up, and Dee Dee did backup vocal work with a local
group until she was approached by her friend, Elaine Sims.
From H um boldt, Tennessee, Elaine sang in a church choir, but quickly
took to singing with other neighborhood kids. Her first o fficia l group, the
five-girl Edquits, played neighborhood high schools, theaters, and night
spots. Her next group. Portrait In Black, was progressing nicely, u n til the
other three women in the group decided not to make a career in singing, at
which time Elaine formed Coffee with Dee Dee and Gwen Hester.
The only native o f Chicago in Coffee, Gwen, also got into music at age
15. She joined her first group, Silk, when one o f the singers took a break to
have a baby. When the new mother rejoined Silk, Gwen did a solo turn be
fore getting together w ith Dee Dee and Elaine. The g ro u p ’ s name came
about after rehearsal one day, when the threesome were sitting around a
kitchen table and noticed a can o f coffee. The name fit their image perfectly
— Black, sweet, and piping hot!
