Although teenagers are prone to
say "don't give me that jazz,"
this weekend Ann Arbor will have
quite a bit of jazz happening.
The quality of the jazz is aptly
illustrated by the scheduled ap-
pearance of the George Bohanon-
Ronnie Fields Quintet Sunday.
In the liner notes of "Passin'
Thru," George Bohanon's last re-
cording with the Chico Hamilton
Quintet, Dan Morgenstern intro-
duces him with the following:
"George Bohanon hails from De-
troit, thereby proing that the
jazz fountain in 'Big D' has by no
means as yet run day." It is this
life-spring to the Detroit jazz
fountain that "Jazz Scene '65" will
bring to town.
Jazz Revival
Although in the early sixties the
Detroit jazz fountain was almost
nonexistent, through a series of
fortunate circumstances the Quin-
tet came into being. These cir-

cumstances were brought about by
the people who came out to listen
even though at times the music
was often far from exciting; those
who kept featuring jazz in their
clubs although the cash registers
were often far from full, and
those DJ's and critics, like Down
Beat correspondent John Sinclair,
who kept saying and writing that.
things were getting better in De-
troit, even when things looked
bleak.
From this sad state of jazz
affairs emerged the Quintet. Ron-
nie Fields, who had been playing
with George Bohanon at Odom's
Cave for more than a year, de-
cided to start a new group. He
subsequently succeeded in con-
vincing Bohanon and pianist
Kenny Cox, who had been playing
at Odom's Cave for . several
months, to join him.
The problem of finding a suit-
able rhythm section was solved
when bassist Will Austin and
drummer Bert Myrick agreed to3
complete the quintet.I
A typical set by the Quintet will
contain tunes like McCoy Tyner's
"Three Flowers," Ronnie Fields'
"Paramour," and Kenny Cox's
"The Latin Bit." With the group's
excellent ensemble work, these dif-
ficult tunes seem easy, and the
audience feels the ease and en-
joyment with which they play.
Audience Reception
Their harmony in playing to-
gether is one reason for the
group's rapid rise to the extra-
ordinary local fame they enjoy.
The other main reason is the
tremendous enthusiasm and con-
fidence the five have, and their
ability to convey these feelings
musically to their audience.
Speaking of the audience recep-
tion, Bohanon said, "That's what's
really beautiful, the audience, be-
cause they are people who are a
little hipper than the average au-
dience in the sense that they
know a ,little bit more about what
we are doing and what they are
hearing. The music is playing and
everybody's sitting and digging it,
not making any noise or anything
with big grins on their faces."
Commenting on jazz in general,
Bohanon said that many musi-
cians, when they arrive at a cer-
tain level, are just concerned with
getting work.
"If they don't care about their
music, who does? How is the club
owner. going to care, how is the
audience going to care?" he said.
Financial Success
The audience does care, and
economically, jazz has given club
owners a reason to care, too.
There are already signs that more
jazz employment will be provided
by club owners who are aware
that it can attract a large au-
dience. Club owners Edith Cantor
of the Un-Stabled, Jordan Fish-
man of the Chit-Chat, Tom
Mahon of the Village Gate, and
Irv Helman of the Drome have
demonstrated to others that good
jazz does attract an audience if
it is given good publicity and good
preentation within the club.
