An attractive quasi-waltz, "Tenaj," is one of the disc's highlights, featuring solos by Carter, Billy Cobham and the very talented pianist Kenny Barron. The latter is also at his best on one of Mink's great tunes, "Epistrophy." It's done in trio with one of Monk's for- mer drummers, Ben Riley. Har- monica also plays a dominant role, in the title tune, but there's no credit anywhere for the play- er. Except for previously unre- leased material this could be Ron Carter's swan song for CTI, since he's recently signed with Milestone. -Larry Friske faas and chuspas bells and pouches Doily Photo by ALAN BILINSKY Meh toior phosis Zubin Mehta, world-renowned conductor, expertly conjures sweet melodies of the Romantics and moderns from his Israel Philhar- rnonic Orchestra, before a packed audience at Hill Auditorium last night. LIBRARY FILM SERIES: cHenry VIII' visits A2 By CHRIS DYHDALO (F YOU MISSED the highly acclaimed BBC special' "The Six Wives of Henry VIII", the Ann Arbor Public Library is offering the series free for the next six weeks. Beginning yesterday, each 90- minute episode will be shown twice every Thursday at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. in the Main Meeting Room of the library at Fifth and William Sts. The infamous tyrant is por- trayed by Keith Michell, who won the British award for best actor of the year for his per- formance in the series. The tempermental king leads the viewer deeper and deeper into the intricacies of his married life as he disposes of one wife after another. The stubborn first wife of Henry VIII, Katharine of Aragon, refused to relin- quish her position as queen. Nexa came Ann Boleyn, the vi- brant young woman that does not survive his whims. And so the 1- goes on. Each episode is " arfully intertwined with the and brilliantly perform- ed, bringing history to life in the magnificent British tradi- tion only the BBC could man- age. This series won five awards from the British Society of Film and Television Art and received praise abroad. THE LIBRARY is showing the film in conjunction with a project sponsored by the Na- tional Endowment for the lu- manities and called Film Plus. The project is designed to en- courage adult reading related to the film series. Each viewer will receive a free Film Guide, which con- tains a historical background on the series and further read- ing suggestions.

All the songs deal with being in and out of love to some degree; although while they say nothing new, they aren't offensively banal like so many new rock songs these days. The words don't detract from the music, and that's the important part of this album. "GOIN' THRU the Motions" deals with the perennial get-up- and-go-to-work problem, and the lyrics are quite interesting: Take your time and stand in line Brother It's a waste of time Move until you're standin' still If this don't get you that one will. elegantly handwoven by Bolivian Indians FOLK ART GALLERY 123 W.
