T HERE AREN'T too many bad things
you can say about Tuesday night's
Was/Not Was show at the Second Chan-
ce. The worst part may have been the
choice of songs, only because they were
featuring the music from Sweet Pea
Atkinson's debut album, a far more
conventional - and to my ears less in-
teresting - effort than last year's
Was/Not Was release.
Sweet, Pea may not be God's gift to
soul singing, but he made up for
whatever vocal shortcomings he has
with his ebullient charm. And the
singing of Carol Hall, both on the won-
derful Bacharach-David duet "Anyone
Who had a Heart" on which she and
Sweet Pea really hamed it up, and on
the incredible funked-up "The Beat
Goes On" (which she now has out as a
single) may have been the highlight of
the show.
The band overcame the handicap of
not being able to use all those studio
tricks their recordings feature through
great musicianship, especially on the
part of saxman David McMurray and
first guitarist Bruce Nazarian, whose
excellent solos were placed perfectly
within the context of the music. And
their stage presence is wonderful.
Felix and Jarvis' slick opening rap set
things up perfectly; Was/Not Was was
going to give us a good-time show.
Between the dapper Pea and the
hysterically satirical David Was,
everything was right, except, maybe, a
few of the songs.
Don Was, the band's producer (and
bass-player on Tuesday) admits that
he's not totally happy with the sound of
Sweet Pea's album-which he produced
and which the band played on. He fears
that they may have given in a little too
much to record company pressure to
produce more conventional music than
Was/Not Was' album featured. On the
other hand, he wasn't totally happy
with the Was/Not Was debut either.
Says he, "The thing that bothers me the
most about the first album is that I find
it really diffuse. There's no - well,
there are some threads that hold the
whole thing together but musically
every song is really different."
To allow them to keep the sense of
diversity while creating a stronger sen-
se of musical continuity, Was says the
next record.will have more traditional
melodies but even less traditional
studio effects than before. In addition,
he says, "now that people are
developing a way of playing together,
we can do two really different types of
songs and make them sound similar.
After all, Was/Not Was at first wasn't
eyen a group.
"From what started as bringing
these really different characters
together and overdubbing one at a time
- the first album was just me and one
other person sitting there (in the
studio( - now there's really a group
sound," he says. Juding by last night's
performance, it's true. Even without
the array of spaceage effects you heard
on the album, there ws no denying it
Was/Not Was.
The next Was/Not Was album,
featuring among other luminaries Mit-
ch Ryder on lead vocals a couple of
times, won't be out for a while. In the
meantime, a record backed by the band
and produced by Don Was with singer
Cristina should be out in a couple of
months. She's tryingt to come back
from a mediocre debut album under the
auspices of August Darnell, putting her
faith in Was and Was this time. And
there aren't too many bad things you
can say about that.

All-star albums of this type have a
tendency to be uneven, a collage of ar-
tists and musical styles used by the
label to promote their roster of artists.
This one is no exception to that general
rule. The musical sytles range from
Rhythm and Blues to Jazz-Pop fusion,
and Warner Brothers has been thought-
ful enough to include a listing of other
works by the same artists on the album
jacket.
The good news is that the quality of
the music ranges from being good to the
transcendent.
The first three songs on the first
side-All Jarreau-Randy Crawford
duets-are fantastic ballads, the
ried evening of highlights of the entire album. Here the
lways sure to in- singers harmonize in perfect com-
d Blue pepper-up- plement to each other, accompanied by
ant to go back to a group of musicians who fulfill every
change phrases with each other and the
three male back-ups in beautifully in-
ventive fashion are all the time given
solid but unobtrusive support by Miller,
Castro, Lassy Carlton, et al.
On the second song, "Who's Right,
Who's Wrong," they retain the elemen-
ts mentioned before, but introduce a
new spirit and urgency to their delivery
which crests in the joyous chorus of
"Sure enough" their third duet.
Side two, which presents the Jazz-
Pop fusion side of the aggregation,
opens with the improbably-titled
"Monmouth College Fight Song," a%
fairly funky romp featuring Russel
Ferrante's synthesizers over the throb-
bing backbeat laid down by Jimmy
Haslip's bass and Ricky Lawson's
drums.
David Sanborn then delivers the
theme from "Love is Not Enough" and
"Hideaway," which are less notable for
the, saxophonist's playing (which is
competent, though rather uninspiring),
