there will be frequent moments
when you don't have the faint
est idea exactly what Charlie
Byrd is doing. In fact there
will be times when you don't
even know what he Is playing.
But you don't have to be a mu-
sician to know that, whatever
he's doing with that guitar, he's
doing it better than any other
guitarist you remember. He gets
splendid support, too, from
those other fugitives from the
Showboat Lounge. Their mu-
steal and rhythmic dialogues are
full of Imagination and wit.
Mr.. Getz, a man who gets all
over a Saxaphone, is in fine
fettle for this Carter Barron

UP last night with a couple Of
clinkers in the heat of battle,
but he was the first to vince.
Anyhow, a man who can crowd
as many notes as he can into

them don't get all the way in.
The Getz quintet does run

high point comes when the
Byrd trio returns to join forces
with the Getz outfit for a full
scale rendition Of that "Desifi-
