A trio OF keyboard wizards, all

MGM debut as bandleader, comes
up with a contrasting pair which
snow the Buckner imagination
really corking on all cylinders. For
his "A" side, he has a personalized
arrangement of the Jerome Kearn
Yesterdays, in a lazily-paced blue
mood that is beautifully executed.
The side features a jazz-styled
French horn solo by julius Wat
kins, a newcomer with definite
possibilities for becoming one of
the name" men in jazz circles.
The flip, by contrast, IL a medium
tempo'd, but powerhoused bop
item, replete with solo and en-
semble work, called Buck-A-BOo.
And it's a Buclner original.
Somehow, the new music

melody to a rhythm ably set by
drummer Densil DeCosta Best.
