But Richard Neer, program coordinator for shortly after the reorganization of approximately one hour, and 'NEW, assured Radio Replay that Scott Muni's playing of the album the CBS/Broadcast Group. carry a $39.95 retail list price. was authorized by a high-ranking Columbia official, and was okay with Springsteen's management as well. "We'd had the record for about a week, awaiting authorization to play it," he explained, adding that the station maintains a strict policy of not jumping the gun on such things, especially with an artist with whom the station has a "nine-year relationship, such as Bruce Springsteen." Sources close to the situation say that the leak started when WIOQ in Philadelphia first played the album the previous Friday night. Other stations reportedly taped it from WIOQ, and also from CHUM -FM in Toronto, which had received authorization to play the LP from CBS International. There were clandestine reports that a tape of the album, pirated from WIOQ, was on its way to another New York station. Paul Rappaport, head of album promotion for Columbia, had even sent out "survival kits" to his local promotion men, consisting of cease -and -desist orders (to foil stations who would try playing the album over the weekend, when CBS would be unable to initiate legal action) and No-Doz, among other things. Finally, Columbia gave the go-ahead, after lawyers advised them that things had gone beyond the point of effective legal action. Even Neer said he couldn't see any way that a record company, in dealing with a long-awaited album such as this, could cover all bases and keep the airplay debut completely under control. "There simply were too many tapes floating around," Neer said. SHOLIN LEAVES RKO: Dave Sholin, national program director for RKO Radio, has made official his plans to resign for an editorial posi- tion with the Bill Gavin Report in San Francisco. Sholin, who had been with RKO for seven years (four with KFRC in Los Angeles, three in the national office) is anxious to return to his home town, where he'll begin with Gavin in mid -October. He told Radio Replay that he'll be handling the entire rock section for Gavin, including the front page, charts and back page picks. ABC NETWORK QUADRASECTS: Four individuals have been ap- pointed to the newly -created position of vice president/radio network, in a reorganization recently implemented by the ABC Radio Networks. The appointments are: Richard P. McCauley, ABC Entertainment net- work; Willard Lochridge, ABC Contemporary Network; John Axten, ABC Information Network; and A. Thomas Plant, ABC FM Network.

www.americanradiohistory.comAmericanRadioHistory.Com STILL MORE: The rest of Concord Jazz's newest release is up to the Record Woad label's expected tasteful standard. The selections on an album called "Crystal Comments" may be familiar-"Body and Soul," "On Green Dolphin Street," "Scrapple from the Apple" and others-but the instrumentation isn't: Bud Shank (flute) and two pianists, Bill Mays on a Steinway and Alan Broadbent on a Fender Rhodes. A nice approach. Other Concords: the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Tritonis;" Marshall Royal's "Royal Blue" (with Monty Alexander, Cal Collins, Ray Brown By SAMUEL GRAHAM and Jimmie Smith); another worthy outing by talented tenor player STRING ALONG: Acoustic string jazz bands are nothing new. Vio- Scott Hamilton, "Tenor Shoes," and a George Shearing/Carmen linist Stephane Grappelli and perhaps the greatest guitar player ever, McRae outing called "Two for the Road" (mostly ballads, with Shear- Django Reinhardt, were leading an all -string group that played suave, ing even singing on one track) ... Others from Pausa include two by swinging jazz more than 40 years ago. But such groups never exactly the Singers Unlimited, "A Cappella Ill" and "In Tune" (even with challenged for the title of Next Big Thing, especially as electric in- the Oscar Peterson Trio along, it still sounds dangerously lightweight); struments came along and saxophones, pianos and drums mostly led "Mirror," with Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Ron Carter and Billy the way in jazz.

Talk about a variety of the Mini-Moogs, ARP Odysseys and phase shifters of the world, but styles-Pausa certainly has it this time out ... Arriving in time to be the acoustic bands are a mighty refreshing change of pace. Grappelli included in the column but too late to be listened to are four from himself has kept it going-not only by continuing to ply his urbane, Pablo: "Lester Young in Washington, D.C., 1956 Vol. II"; "Kansas City romantic style on his own but by recording and performing with man- Shout," with Count Basie and orchestra joined by Joe Turner and dolinist David Crisman, who's made some fine albums with his quin- Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson (digitally recorded), and two more digitals, tet lately. Now Tony Rice, the ace acoustic guitarist who played on "Digital Ill at Montreux" (Ella Fitzgerald and Basie on one side, many of Grisman's records (including "Hot Dawg," on Horizon/A&M), Joe Pass and Niels -Henning Orsted Pedersen doing their "Chops" has his own group with a new record on Rounder, "Mar West." It's a thing on the second) and Oscar Peterson's "Digital at Montreux" (also release, fine laced not only with jazz but with folk, bluegrass and with Pedersen) ... Finally, a little L.A. label called Esoteric Records various European influences. has an album called "Our Music Is Your Music," a big band session Crisman and Rice show the ability to move beyond the sameness led by trumpeter/arranger Leslie Drayton with such players as Snooky that can sometimes plague this music. For "Hot Dawg," the former Young, Azar Lawrence, George Bohanon and Jerome Richardson. brought in Grappelli to play on the Reinhardt/Grappelli classic "Minor Swing;" he later recorded John Coltrane's "Naima" (on the Warners album "Quintet '80"), while Rice's album has a version of Miles Give Me The Wonder-ful Night, Quincy Davis' "Nardis." Here's hoping for more of that, for the sake of jazz and to maintain interest. Grappelli can be heard on a new/old release (all tracks seem to be reissues) on Pausa that he shares with Jean-Luc Ponty, called "Giants." The two violinists appear together on just one track, Sonny Rollins' "Pent-up House." For Grappelli's four other cuts, he's joined by some nice company, including George Shearing and two pairs of guitarists, Larry Coryell and Philip Catherine (for a version of-sur- prise-"Minor Swing") and Diz Disley and Ike Isaacs. ANOTHER SOUND not often heard in jazz is that of the steel drum, an instrument that to most people suggests only people in floral print shirts doing the limbo. Only a handful of steel drummers have ven- tured into jazzy turf, and certainly one of the best moves yet can be heard on Monty Alexander's "Ivory and Steel" (Concord Jazz). Pianist Alexander has recruited a steel drummer named Othello Molineaux, and while this album is on Concord's Picante line-reserved for Backstage at L.A.'s Greek Theater, Quincy Jones (left) and Stevie Wonder (right) music Latin, with Caribbean and other exotic flavors-there's also a greet George Benson after the final concert in Benson's series of six sellouts at lot of straight jazz here. Consider the quintet's material on side two: the venue. Jones is the producer of Benson's Qwest/Warner Bros. album "Give Work Song," "Stella By Starlight," the Crusaders' "Street Life" and Me The Night," which was recently certified platinum. Wonder and Jones joined a hot medley of Coltrane's "Impressions" and Miles' "So What." Benson on stage for the concert's finale. ELSEWHERE: Guitarist Eric Gale's new album, "Touch of Silk" (Columbia), has a few interesting moves itself, not the least of which is a rendition of Charlie Parker's "Au Priave" where alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe takes things outside. Not all of the album matches that, P The Jazz LP Chart but it was produced by Allen Toussaint, mostly in New Orleans, so OCTOBER 18, 1980 15.
