RECENT SURVEY: Eections show black support for Democrats slightly lower By HARRY HAMMITT For the past several years a giant of the British blues move- ment, John Mayall, has been liv- ing in his new adopted home in California. Since his move he has played consistently with Ameri- can sidemen; his first success here was with Harvey Mandel, Sugarcane Harris, and Larry Tay- lor. He has had two U.S. bands, and his second one is the one he has at the moment. They were first heard on a live album re- leased earlier this year, Jazz- Blues Fusion. Now Mayall has recorded a second live album with the band to coincide with his American tour. The new al- bum, done at the Whiskey a GoGo in Los Angeles, is called Moving On (Polydor PD 5036). The new band is, quite liter- ally, a jazz-blues fusion, w i t h more blues than jazz. What jazz there is, is provided by Blue Mitchell on trumpet and fluegel- horn, and Freddy Robinson on guitar; they are augmented by a four-man horn section, all of whom solo, and all of whom bor- der on jazz at times. Mayall himself is constantly coming closer to jazz, he is the only one who can integrate the harmonica with jazz and still keep its power intact. The rhy- thm section is probably the fin- est to be found anywhere, it con- sists of Larry Taylor on bass guitar, and Keef Hartley on drums. They are joined on this recording by Victor Gaskin who plays string bass; his bass is good but often overwhelmed by the other more powerful instru- ments, only when he solos is he heard to true advantage. As Mayall quickly approaches the age of 40, his music has be- gun to stabilize and become mel- lower. Gone for good are the days of the overpowering, straightforward blues approach with the devastating guitar work epitomized by Mayall's earlier work with Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor. But Mayall is far from con- servative in his innovations.' He has dedicated himself to t h e blues form, a rather standard musical formula that many and most performers have found too limited. But perhaps more than any other person, Mayall hs ac- complished miracles with t h e blues form. It seems to the lay- man that Mayall must have ex- plored every avenue of the blues, but it would come as no surprise if he continued to find new and different ways to use the blues. He was one of the first popular musicians to use horns on a large scale, he was practically the first to reject loud music for loud- ness' sake and dispense with elec- tric guitar and drums to turn to a more lyrical, melodic blues ex- pression. Mayall has been one of the most important innovators in modern music, but he has not really received the attention he deserves for this innovation. His new band is further evidence of his passion for innovation. Mayall's music has constantly become more lyrical and gentle, and as such, it lends itself well to a jazz interpretation. The horns add an extra measure of stability, a soothing power, and added depth in soloing. On this album, Robinson tends to keep the horns integrated with the rhythm section with some very fine jazz-soul chording and riff- ling; the rhythm section w it h Taylor and Hartley is so compat- ible that there is no need for the rest of the band to worry about keeping the beating moving. Mayall plays some electric piano which further cements the rhythm together, but he makes his presence best known with his surging, but delicate, harnionica, and, of course, his singing. May- all has a very individual voice which is slightly higher than the average, but full of power. It lends itself well to jazz. His lyrics have always moved away from typical blues subjects and forms of expression. His ly- rics now possess a jazz quality in themselves and this album integrates lyric and music in the true sense for the first time. The lyrics contain a message, but the message is of secondary im- portance to the effect; here the voice, without using a scat tech- nique, becomes an instrument in its own right. Mayall now mov- es to a slightly more conserva- tive, but yet more varied type of composition. He gives us here two songs which owe a big debt to the blues progression, yet are melo- dic in a brand new way; May- all experiments with derivations from the standard blues pattern and constantly comes up with a new interesting approach "Keep Our Country Green" is one of the newly melodic songs which pul- sates with horns, developing a simple and luring melody over which Robinson and Mitchell solo with incomparable brilliance, clinging to the melody line, but bringing out everything that is good in the melody itself. "Ch-isc- mas 71" is the other experiment which features a new approach to melody. It is an introspective song; the volume level reduces as the song features some rather sensitive flute by Charles Owens. Otherwise, all the songs adhere to the blues progression, but in hands of Mayall this idiom never gets tired, never lags. Particular credit in this depar.- ment must go to the professional- ism and consummate good taste of Larry Taylor and Keef Hart- ley. Both can be energetic, sharp and to the point, but subtle. It must be remembered that, for all practical purposes, the horn section is a one-shot deal: only Clifford Solomon on tenor and alto sax has had any prolonged experience playing with May- all. As such, they work out fine; they add a slightly new concept and approach to the solo. Rob- inson is an exquisite guitarist; he tosses notes without any sense of cluttering, and his notes are gentle and mellow. Mitchell is an old hand in jazz and he con- tinues to demonstrate an excep- tional understanding of blues ele- ments with outstanding playing throughout. Mayall is o'ne of the best and finest musicians around today. He has taken a traditionally sim- ple music form and turned it in- side out with his experiments as he searches for further melodic and unique ways to play the blues. His approach is now tend- ing towards the gentle and lyri- cal, but his music still moves with a subtle force. He has mold- ed a dynamic, but melodic and lyrical music; this album is am- ple proof of his overwhelming mastery and tremendous depth of talent. A powerful commentary on the arms race exposing the consequences of building nu- clear weapons.

George McGovern, the Demo- cratic presidential candidate, re- ceived 87 per cent of the vote in black precincts and wards in 22 major cities, the Joint Center for Political Studies said Friday. President Nixon, who swept 49 states in his landslide victory, re- ceived 13 per cent of the black vote, up 3 per cent from 1968. Four years, ago, Democrat Hu- bert Humphrey won 90 per cent of the black vote. The Center's survey was based on unofficial ,returns in heavily black election districts. According to the survey, Nixon received 30 per cent of the black vote in Louisville, Ky., a 100 per cent increase over his tally there in 1968. McGovern captured 94 per cent of the black vote in Columbia, S. C., 93 per cent in Houston, Tex., and 93 per cent in Charlotte, N.C. In 1968, Humphrey won 98.6 per cent of the black vote in Houston. The Center said comparable! figures were not available for other cities. The Center, a private, non-par- tisan organization, provides re-I search, education and technical as- sistance to elected black and other minority group officials and others representing minority group inter- ests. Although blacks continued to support the Democratic presiden- tial nominee, the Center noted widespread ticket-splitting in some black areas. In Chicago approximately 55 per cent of the voters in nine sample black wards voted for the Repub- lican candidate for Cook County state's attorney, Bernard Carey, helping defeat Edward Hanrahan, the Democratic incumbent, while 92 per cent backed McGovern. In Jackson, Miss., 76 per cent! of the blackuvoters opposed Dem ocratic incumbent Sen. James Eastland while giving 90 per cent of their votes to McGovern. Listings continued Governments act to curb dumping of waste in sea LONDON (Reuter) - Hopes of international agreement to control the dumping of waste at sea rose today as experts from 78 govern- ments extended talks and reached compromise over some major stumbling blocks. Canada's chief delegate, Alan Beesley, said it was hoped that an international convention could be initialled this weekend. The agree- ment wouldbethe first big result of the United Nations Conference on the Environment held in Stock- holm last June. Delegates to the- talks, w h i c h' began Oct. 30 in closed session, met yesterday morning and reach- ed a compromise on the thorny is- sue of jurisdiction over coastal waters. The issue had divided the confer- ence and threatened to prevent a full agreement being reached. Another controversial issue ap- parently close to solution is the provision of an escape clause in the draft convention which would allow a state to dump normally banned toxic material if an emergency' arose. Canada and other nations saw! this as a major loophole in the treaty but the clause was tighten- ed up in the extended talks to stip- ulate that a state must consult-he international controlling body of the convention, as well as any states that might be affected, before do- ing any emergency dumping, con- Ifrnesources said.
