Some of the features in this issue center around: Buddy Rich, Leroy Jenkins, Ricky Ford, and Alan Hovhaness. Here Buddy Rich, the demonstrative drummer tells the whys and hows of his successful career. Leroy Jenkins had more than just music on his mind and shares information on art and audience acceptance. Ricky Ford lives up to his Japanese nickname 'Jazz Wolf', and an article entitled Angelic Cycles, where one of the pioneers of synthezing Eastern melodies and rhythms with Western formal structure, tells of his desire to write music with its roots in the soil and its head in the heavens (artist Alan Hovhaness).

Excerpt: . . . river, we find plains that extend out of sight, which are vast meadows, intersected by groves, at no great distance from one another, which are all tall woods, where we might easily hunt the stag; great num bers of which, as also of buffaloes, are found here. Deer also are very common. From having seen those animals frightened at the least noise, especially at the report of a gun, I have thought of a method to hunt them, in the manner the Spaniards of New Mexico do, which would not scare them at all, and which would turn to the great advantage of the inhabitants, who have this game in plenty in their country. This hunting might be set about in winter, from the beginning of October, when the meadows are burnt, till the month of February. This hunting is neither expensive nor fatiguing: horses are had very cheap in that country, and maintained almost for nothing. Each hunter is mounted on horseback, and armed with a crescent somewhat open, whose inside should be pretty sharp; the top of the outside to have a socket, to put in a handle: then a number of people on horseback to go in quest of a herd of buffaloes, and always attack them with the wind in their backs. As soon as they smell a man, it is true, they run away; but at the sight of the horses they will moderate their fears, and thus not precipitate their flight; whereas the report of a gun frightens them so as to make them run at full speed. In this chace, the lightest would run fast enough; but the oldest, and even the young of two or three years old, are so fat, that their weight would make them soon be overtaken: then the armed hunter may strike the buffalo with his crescent above each ham, and cut his tendons; after which he is easily mastered. Such as never saw a buffalo, will. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
