But at wa n't until the stage cleared, leaving Bryant alone, that the virtuo ity began in car­ne t. He' not one of the most rnenti<>ned among the great piano soloists, but Ray al ­way surprises with a concert or a new rec­ord. and I remember, uveah , he DOES IT. don't he?'' Well, he did it thi night. The con­trast in dynamics from the large ensemble down to one man wa enough , but when he plunked down a very funky blues line, then e tended it into Willow Weep, the feeling was down home. It 's not an uncommon ap­proach-Duke did it with Kinda Dukish/­Rockin' In Rhythm. But the colors evoked re­mained intact , especially in the hands of one who's o in control of hi instrument as is Bryant.

Ms. Thornton was coaxed up from the au-dience to do a pair of tunes with the rhythm section, then, including a wide-ranging Green Dolphin Stre~t that started low and finished somewhere near her upper limits.

Back to business, and it was Faddis' turn. This was the Jones-Lewis band barnstormer's solo premiere, and he handled it well. using his pyrotechnics on Caravan . He will have to break from tho e patented Dizzy licks before too long, because you can't go telling people, "Close your eyes and I'm Diz" indefinitely. Jon's got great chops and some high note hi· jinks that won't quit, but he constantly goes back to riffs we all know too well. While I dig what Dizzy's done, I'd like to hear Faddis go him one better . . . if that's possible.

We paused here while Mel Lewis presented Jon with his db Critics Poll award for Talent Deserving Wider Recognition . Mel then sat in on Con Alma, handling Latin honors alone as Barretto sat one out.

Ms. Brachfeld, recipient of this years' Louis Armstrong Award from Jazz Interac­tions, guested for Afro Blue, sharing solo hon­ors with Barreuo, who burned solidly with palms, chin, e:bows and wet finger.

Farrell-Beck-Bushier-Madison are a work­ing quartet, as was evident in their two num­bers. Farrell's Hurricane Jan~ was his tenor offering. but the feature was the excitement generated by the group's united energizing: these were hard. straight ahead contemporary ounds. I Won't Be Back, penned by Beck,

featured the guitarist with wah-wah and fuzz to areal effect.

The closer was one of the best preform­ances of Night In Tunisia I've ever heard. It was all stops, each player soloing, no rhythm for rhythm's sake. The rousing challenge round between Barretto and Madison went on for an extended chorus or three , leaving those onstage jumping around in glee, slap­pins paJms and exchanging hugs. It was everyone at the top of his/her form, a fitting conciUiion to an all .. round/outasight night
