-In just two months THE ZAGER & EVANS SUCCESS STORY JUST TWO short months ago Denny Zager

and Rick Evans were in debt. They'd borrowed money to record a five-year-old song they included in their act at a small Lincoln night club in America's Mid-West.

Th,ll five-year-old song has now sold nearly two million copies, has topped the American charts and 1s at the number one spot in the MM ZAGER & EVANS: borrowed money to record a five year old song chart. And from that r--------;:::;;:;:i;::;;;;:;:;:;;;:,;:;:;;;::;::;::::;:;:;:;::;;;,;::::;;;::--small night c lub t hcy've moved on to concerts. in front of 25,000 people.

Session "1l was a springboard to

a nal ion and then to the whole world . The way things are happening for us, is unbelievable. H's something you might read out of a fairytale oook." said Denny Zager in a break be­tween takes at a Chi cago recording session.

• We've just got throu~h a concert in M1lwauk~. 1t was our first one and aclUally we were pretty scared Rick came down with laryngitis and we onlv did 25 minutes instead or 45 but 1t worked out okay I'd heard thal '2525' had ,tot mto your top ten but number one we're really thrilled .. I think we'll bt' back m Bntam b), tht e-nd or th~ \ll>ar and I'd 1mag1ne we'd be domg some concert appea ranct"s

• Righi now we're m

C h i ca go recording. We're not living in Lincoln anymore. we've moved to New York City which is con­venient for us as most of our work will be in recording and tele­vision

Studios "We move backwards

and rorwards from New York to the studios here. We've got a rew television spots to do although we mighl wait and do an hour long special. II feels pretty good to get out and be able to move around arter staymg m one place for such a long time We can go to a lot of places and people don't recognisP us"

Success for Zager and Evans came very much overnight Were they expecting 1t?

"Jt didn'I really surprise us once it got to be a

hit in Lincoln. We didn't really rea lise how quickly it was happen­ing in the other States. By the time it was released in England we felt pretty sure of it as a Jot or American music goes well in Britain as a matter of course."

Normal RCA have released the

duo's first album "In The Year 2525" in the States already and it is being rush released in Bntam.

"The album is moving pretty well over here and should move up again this week. Rick's been writing quite a bit more lately and every­thing's progres5ing at normal speed although we're doing a lot of personal appearances so we don't have as much time as berore.

Once one of the foremost mr:n on his Instrument, with an un usual s tyle whi ch combined e-lements of earlier trombonisL"' like Jack Tea• garden and Dickie Wells with his euent lal mod ernit y, Knepper has in recen t yea rs seemed a certain cand1 datr: for the " wha tever happened to . . " cat ea ory

The reason for his ab· sence fro m the sce ne, he revealed 10 me, was that . fro m 1964 lo 1966, he played night a fter night in th e p,t orche-stra of th e Broadway 8how Funny Girl

~~yesi;in~e .. ~o~id mt~e w~~~ir: run - three years and three months . It was, I guess, a steady job and after a while the act or playing the same thing every night acquired a certain fascination ." Born m Los Angeles 4 I years ago, Knepper started oul playing with be-pop bands in the area One night, he. remem• bers, they needed a bass player for a gig tn San Pedro and eventually hired a guy named Charlie Mingus. who was then unknown

"He played with us ju!lt the one night," soys Knep· per. "but although we never met after that for 12 years he called me up one nfght in 1957 a nd asked me to 1oln his band He'd remembered my playing, and he told me later th,\l we were the fint Integrated band he'd ever played with.

"Any notoriety I ma) have as a musician is mainly due to Mingus, and It was a very rewarding experience working for him .

"He's nn excellent mu&i· cian, and he comes up with some marvellous com­positions, bul sometimes you had to play in spite of him."

What about the famous Mingus method of teaching his themes to the musicians by humming the Hne.s to them, instead of writing them down?

"Mingus can write hi s charts down when he wants

to but he seems to have a m~ntal block about putting them on paper He would play the lines on pia no and bass. and then I used to writ~ them down for myselr so that I wouldn't have any trouble remembering them.''

Before he met Mingus, Knepper spent much of his time listening to Charlie Parker, and at one lime had a large collection or unique and unissued Parker tapes.

" I p layed with Bird In Philadelphia in 1951, just after Red Rodney left the band We had Al Haig, Tommy Potter, and Roy Haines, and a friend of mine taped much of the music we played that wee)!:

Before that. week In Phllodelphia , Knepper re• hearsed with rarkcr in an amazing band which, un ­fortunately, never worked

The brainchild of arranger Gene Roland , the band was a t-howcase for Parker and included eight trumpets, sJx trombones, eight reeds , and two drumme-rs. Also in the

trombone !tectlon was Eddie Bert, Knepper·• current "'° tion•mate in the Jonta­Lewis band

After leavlna M:in1us, Knepper play~ tht famou:t gig at the Jau Gallery with Gil £vans' orchestra, and has recently recorded w1lh Evans for a new album OIi

Having . a nice time, wish you were here JON HISEMAN was sound­

" When we finished in Bos­tan we went to San Fran­cisco which was a rave­up.

" At the Fillmore we worked with the Byrds and the audience were digging us one minute and the n ext t hey'd be digging the other band."

" On the West Coast they are not nea rly so ad• vanced. Although the people who knew us went potty. The fi rs t few nights a t the Whis­key A-Go-Go in Los Angrles, the press gave us good revues but the audience didn't seem to

know w hat was going on first of all .

" ln the Eas t Coas t it is more hip. But no matter how big you are in Britain, when you come to America y ou ha ve t o sta rt all over aga in . It's incred ible, it's such a vast country. When you

come out here, you have to eat humble pie.'"

Musicians who have seen the Colosseum have been r eact ing favour­ably. " We' re play ing w ith the Bar-Kays -that's another example of mixing acts - and they just sit up in the ba !cony and go potty, which is a bit embar­rassing.

" There a re a lot of

The group comprises Doug Ingle, leader and singer. Ron Bushey on drums, Eric Keith Brann, guitar, and bass player Lee Donnan It was Lee who I spoke to in New York r,,cently IRON BUTTERFLY: ' W e will be set back two years.

"We ore look• ing forward to coming,'' s a i d Lee, whe n I asked him about the group's 8 r i t is h tou r which opens at

have to stan all over again. But there is no appre­hension among the group."

Iron Butterfly's rise has been the result of two year's hard work on the club and ballroom circuits in America.

Var ie~ Musically the group has

drawn its inspiration from a variety or sources. "Basi­cally it's a collage of all different sounds," explained Lee. "Tl's different kinds or music put together by four

different guys with different ideologies. It'• not heavy, or acid. There's a little bit of baroque, a little country and western, a little blues.

"We are just going over

~r~~~; l~~e ftlr1J.a:.1, :1~!: if they don't like us they won't. People have put us where we are. We could be the greatest group in the world end people might not like us."

1 asked Lee if the group were making any special preparations musically for Britain. "No," he replied.

"What we'll pBy is not going to be different from what we usually play. If people react to certain

Albums Continued Lee, " We may

for 30 minutes, and the solos are different from the album."

The group have two albums out in Britain. " Vtda " is the first and ,ince its release have fol­lowed it with "Ball," and now the group are planning to go into the studio to cu t another album, "Metamor­phosis " for October re• lease.

"We're evolvinJ a little bit more and using more vocals," said Lee. "The music won't be as complex as the last two albums. It

will be still as heavy but we've realised over the l.lst two years that you don·t havt lo be as complex as we have been

"1 think people hkr the basic push heavy mu,ic has, but it's not neces9llry to turn up the volume to be eff~tive. We've been trying to tum ciown our volume for live performances"

Lee and Enc Keith 8J11nn have the main worry about volume with bass and guitar . "We get wrapped up in the mu11c quite a bit.'' said Lee " We have one .number, • The Iron Butterfly Theme,' which depicts the life of on Iron Butterfly.

" At the end 1t crashet and we htl all the amphfters to make the crash and we use four electronic fires to create a visual ending."

" But we want people in Britain to come and listen. If people will come ond listen that will be fine. We just want to have a good time."

QIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES

AND THE TEMP­TATIONS: " I Second That Emotion " (Tamla Motown).

lt"s Diana Ross, the Supremes and the Temptations. I like it - it"s Motown after all. But I think that S m o k e y Robinson and the Miracles did this song much bet­ter.

The arrangement is generally pretty good but it sounds a bit ropey in places. It could be a hit.

JOHNNIE TAYLOR: " I Could Never Be

President" (Stax). That wns discotheque music,

and very good of its kind. 1 think it's Johnnie Tay• lor.

They are trying to establlsh hi, styl&-soul rather similar to Sam and OllVe.

I don't think It Is commer­cial in any sort or way, except for people. Hke my­self who would buy It.

P ETULA CLARK: " Look At Mine "

(Pye). It sounds like a girl but I

can't think who it is. The name is on the tip of my tongue. It sounds very five years ago.

J think it's nice--a little bll gospelly. The style ls bit Uke Brenda Lee or Bar­bara Ruskin . thlnk It might Just have a nibble at the chart.

SAMSON: " Traffic " (from the Instant

LP " Are You Sam-son," INSP004).

This has possibilities , I don' t know who It is. but. it's a British production.

They sound very nice and tight. I liked tbe French horn at the beginning, It was very nice.

With the current vogue for progressive PoP this could do things. It takes a bit of listening to first of all, but I certainly like it.

R UBY JAMES: "Get.­ting Mighty Crow­

ded" (Fontana). J like the song, it was done

before by Betty Everett,

It's nice and J think It stands a chance because it must be a bout five years since " Mighty Crowded" was a hit. It could happen and it's pretty well done.

I don't know who it is but it sounds like a mate of mine called Fuzz on bass guitnr.

Who is It? Ruby James? Then It could be my mate.

You can tell a true professional

JOHNNY MATHIS: uLove Theme

From 'Romeo And Juliet' " (CBS).

This could weU be a number one hit In America but I don't think It will be ap• predated enough in Bri­tain.

When It started 1 thought it sounded like Jose Feli­ciano. I do like this sort of ballad, it's nice and it's dlfferenl.

You can't spend your whole life listening to II Baby Come Back."

THAD JONES - MEL LEWIS JAZZ OR­

CHESTRA: " Kids Are Pretty People" (from the United Artists LP "Monday Night," UAS29016).

Who was that? I thought at the start It could be Count Basie but as it went on It certainly wasn' t .

The saxes were rnkl-J930s and the horns were con­temporary. And that bass solo at the end-I can't guess who It might be but it was great.

I liked this very much, This ls my scene sometimes but I can't be caught doing it all the time or people would think I can

ISLEY BROTHERS: " I Turned You On"

(Major Minor). Not for me. Take it off! It' s

a diabolical sound and It won't even make the dis­cotheques.

Horrible!

SAMANTHA SANG: " The Love or A

Woman" (Parlo-phone).

She started out sounding like Shirley Bassey. The song sounds a bit like the middle eight. of " Eloise.'• Jt's had a lot put Into it.

I liked the brass. I don't think the punch llne is strong enough to sustain It as a very big hit, but it will get plays no doubt.

She's trying to do a Bassey and 1 think It could be a minor hit.

JACK HAMMER: "What Greater

Love" (United Artists).

I don't think Steve Ellis wlll like that, it all sounds so much like the Love Affair but with a great bJg Humperdinck voice.

Even the bass guitarist sounds like the guy In the Love Affair.

I think It could be Top 50 material. Or there again it could do absolutely nothing at all.

JOYCE BOND AND LITTLE JOHN:

" Mr Pitiful" (Pama). To hear that song, every-

body will play the Otis Redding version.

The girls voices in the back­Ing were "pitiful."

Musically, It's all pretty competent but l can' t see ft happening.

PHIL CORDELL: " Pumping The

Water" (Warner Bros).

Take my word for It-that could be a big hit. It's so different I woukln' t even be surprised If It turned out to be the Beatles.

It also reminds me of early Kinks and the guy's voke ls a little bit like Ray Davies.

That could certainly be a hit.

D UST Y SPRING· FIELD: "Am I The

Same Girl? " (Phil• ips). Not the usual Dusty sound at all. This is her little girl voice rather than the belter.

It's a soul ballad which sticks easily ij n the memory and has a great little band jumping behind her as well as the usual good girl trio. In fac l there's a touch of the Su-premes about it all.

The song &rows on you and it should be an undoubtea hit.

JULIE DRISCOLL, BRIAN AUGER AND THE TRINl1Y: " Take Me To The Water" (Marma­lade). Julie sounds as though she has heard the Nina Simone ver• &ion of th is Gospel song which starts dead slow and then doubles up to sw'jng like the clappers.

She does it well, too, and Briao and the Trinily really help be..r to build to a climax. J like It but have my doubts if enough of Joe Public will to make It a hiL

It ends like one of those great Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Marie Knight things of way back.

CANNED HEAT: "Poor Moon " (Liberty). Some­thing really different from Canned Heat which seems to be a mixture of cou n­try blues, hoe down and Oriental. Bui it works and the result is a real at­mospheric piece that I would rate their best single yet.

lt'!,e~m:~i;~e~ryo~i~:op:c: lie too.

BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND .. Where Did My Baby Go? "(Elektra), More blues, but a more sophisti­cated version which is more likely lo appeal lo the soul market than the rans of the 11:enuin e article.

Arrangement is a bit tricksy and the voice is a little uncertain at times but there's nice guitar and some good mouthharp in the background amongst the brass and reeds.

DEL SHANNON: "Comln' Back To Me" (Stateside). Strange but I teem to be liking jun about every. thing this week. Del's re• cords always sound as though somebody h,u tak­en a lot of trouble Ret-~~n~0th!'!rep~\~~~ and this

BLUES LP OF THE MONTH

A must album for blues beginners

A double-record album of hlues Rnd a llled types of music in a nicely de­signed packet with copi­ou s no te!> a nd D number of mature photogrnphs is bo und lo be an attrac­tive bu y at 43s 9d.

When, In addition, Its 32 tracks Include perrorm­ances by Charley Pa llon, Bllnd Lemon, Texas Alc-x• ander, ~roy Carr, Rober! John son, Bukka While, Elmore James a nd other blues masters past and present, the record prac• tJcally picks Itself as album of the month.

As you might a uess rrom the title, and subtitle: "A documentary history of the blues on record," this c:ollt'ctlon Is meant to Illus trate Paul Oliver's ex­ceptional book, the Stor) Of The Bluu.

~fsard h!~:l' ac~~:.sut:~ o! nccessily.

But the album Is enlltled to • healthy life of 11s own because the lltlcs in It have been well chosen, they don't duplicate much that Is •lready avail,ble, and in the m1tln, they enlirtaln or enlighten or otherwise move the llslen­er on their own account.

Side One, " The Origins," begins ra.r out with a voca l-ratllt'•and­flddle effo rt from the extreme north of (,hana. Then Into a ln11ad blues wllh John Hurt 11nd his

Chippie, on the '26 "Prall City," has A rm • t r on g's thrilling cornet 10 support her.

Much else la of Interest on "Blues And Entertain• mcnt " on th e second side; notably the rough dance :11 tutr scraped, shaken and blov.n out by the Jook and Jug bands. Side Three offers rural and urban blues rrom the Thirties ranging from the ud· voiced, melodic blue, or Carr and 1ultarist Scrap­per Blackwell lo the more counlrlfitd outpourings of Robert J ohnson and Bu~• While.

Latest spin-off frombl/~: sta rry Bee Gees or drummer Colin Peter!en. Reason for hls goingi according to a slll temen from the Robert Stlgwood

would be siJly to leave such a successfu l group. We were working quite amicably together.

" J got a short letter - noc even a phone call. The letter was delivered by a driver. It was four lines and signed by Maurice, Barry and Hugh Gibb -their father.

"The letter said they no longer wished to be associated with me, therefore my association with them was termi• nated."

THE FREE concert in London's Hyde Park this Saturday (Sep­tember 6) has hatl to be postponed. It was to have star• red Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joni Mit­chell, Jefferson Air­plane, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messen­ger Service and the all-girl group Ace Of Cups.

AMERICAN HYDE PARK FREE CONCERT IS POSTPONED

The Bee Gee spokesman added chat Maurice and Barry wouLd carry on as a duo. "They are work­Ing on the film Cucumber Castle for a TV spectacu­lar which Is likely to tum into a 13-week series."

Format On ii question about the

diminution of the grouD from its original format, it was pointed out that the Bee Gees had always hnd an orchestral back.Ing on their records, so "There wouldn't be that much difference.' '

PLEASE DON'T let the same thing happen to Humble Pie as with Small Faces and the Herd. Every paper is writing about Humble Pie and that is of course okay because the group is a gas. But why are they only writing about Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton?

Let"s face it, Steve and Peter are not Humble Pie. Humble Pie is Jerry Shirley, Grey Ridley, Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton.

IT IS a shame Brian Auger and the Trinity and Julie Driscoll have split after pro­ducing such an excellent album which must put them on their way to the fame they deserve.

Brian and the Trinity will last without doubt as they are the only group to put such excitement into modern jazz, although I'm sorry to say Jools will die without the thumping organ of Brian which puts body behind her great voice. - KEITH WINCH, Cheshunt, Herts.
