PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, 2 APRIL 1965 ARTS and LETTERS By Kay Holmes Quintet Marks Jazz Revivalj Campus Bookstores Gross Millions Yearly 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.

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.
