By DAVE HEPBURN
Dick Knows Hunger
Dick Gregory’s current drive to feed the unfortunate
Negroes of Leflore County, in Mississippi, is a laudable
effort by a lone comedian to find expression in our social
Ufe.
Gregory is trying to raise $37,000 to buy staple pro
ducts for these Negroes whose “lifeline” so to speak
was cut off because they dared to want
to register to vote. While the Depart
ment of Agriculture will gladly supply
the foodstuffs, it is up to the authori
ties of the county to make arrangements
to get it and transport it. This they have
now refused to do as a reprisal for the
gall of Negroes to want to exercise their
constitutional rights.

This will be the third In a

performed on the last Sunday
of each month.

weeks ago by offering a long playing recording which
he made at a western college in a question and answer
forum, for $1.60. The sixty cents pays for the cost of the
production of the record. The dollar goes to the fund
for the Leflore County victims. As it adds up, we only
need 37,000 people to buy a record — peanuts in this
industry — to get the drive over the top. Last Saturday,
Dick, currently at the Apollo, continued the drive with
a rally at 125th Street helped by Adam Powell and Daisy
Bates.
San Remo Festival
In our opinion this is a laudable effort. When Dick
Gregory first started his comic routine, not many peo
ple gave him credit for being the thinker he is. (Dick,
as a matter of fact, still misapplies some of his verbs).
But the man has shown himself to be a solid thinker,
cans. To enable the troupe to
a topical comedian who is current and right on top
travel fast and light, she has

art and I are laughing through their teeth and Dick has shown
a tendency to become more and more profound. We hope
he never tries to become a pundit for the conscience of
America and cease to be funny. His work is good be
cause he spends more than $75,000 a year for research
material and he tries to be accurate in his statements.

Italy’s famous Festival della
Canzone Italiana is held annual
ly at San Remo, heart of the
Italian Riviera. It is not like
the Newport Festival for the price
of admission keeps away the hep-
cats and it is a contest of songs
rather than singers. A total of
twenty songs are chosen each
year and at least that many
singers, the very best the Italian
recording companies can com
mand, make the Festival a gen
uine battle of musical titans.
For the past several yars a
selected few of the San Remo
singers have toured the capital
cities of Europe and South Amer
ica, briefly appearing in the
United States under the title of
San Remo Nel Mundo. For the
first time a troupe of San Remo
stars began a comprehensive
tour of U.S. cities. They appear
ed at Carnegie Hall last Friday
evening.
This American performance
has been staged by Katherine
Dunham, distinguished artist and
choreographer, for she is well
qualified by experience and dis

talents of Italy's most popular
singers and musicians into a for

la DI Luna”. Her exquisite gold
lame gown was tighter than her
skin, so her version of The Twist
had none of Chubby Checker’s
reckless abandon.
The audience had as much spir
it as the performers, for they
did not just sit there, they re

enthusiasm, to hit Italian 6ongs

CBS Newa Correspondent Wal-

The March 31 segment covers
the annual celebration in the ca

country, and the deep contrasts
between ricih and poor, old and

TWO RELATIVELY NEW female singers are
emerging on the jazz scene and we expect much to
be heard of both of them. One is Sheryl Easpey who
is vocalist with the new San Salvador Big Band
which previewed at a party last Friday at the Gotham
Studios to introduce Sal’s new Dauntless recording
of “You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet!”. With arrange
ments by Larry Wilcox, Sal, who once played guitar
with the Stan Kenton Band, has a good-sounding
group, featuring 4 trumpets, 2 trombones and two
mellophones in the brass section, 4 sax, drums, bass,
piano and guitar. And of course, there’s cute Sheryl
handling the vocals.
THE OTHER NEW GIRL on the scene is Teri
Thornton who Cannonball Adderley calls “the
greatest voice since Ella Fitzgerald.” She’s also on
the Dauntless label, a branch of Audio Fidelity.
Terry’s new LP is “Somewhere in the Night” and
this, too, was arranged and conducted by Larry Wil
cox. Since comparisons are inevitable, we’d have to
say that on most of her numbers she sounds like
Lena Home to us. Audio Fidelity’s capable Tom
Wilson is the man behind these two new jazz records.
NINA SIMONE TO give Carnegie Hall concert,
Friday, April 12 . . . Carl Davis, Columbia Records
A&R man in Chicago, is taking over the Okeh label
as top man and will screen young teenage talent in
West for label’s current talent quest. Columbia is
seeking brand, new talent; “self-contained artists and
groups”, is the way David Kapralik, Columbia’s direc
tor of Popular Artists and Repertoire describes young
sters sought . . . The Cliff Dukes Quintet, last heard
at Minton’s opens at the 125th Street Palm Cafe on
Thursday, March 28
JOE WELLS’ GARDEN Supper Club opened last
Wednesday night with singer Viola Acosta and guest
artists performing before a standing room only crowd.
In the upstairs room Jimmy Gordon did two original
tunes of the young composers, Carl Bignom and
Johnny Greenidge. Dee Matthews and Mildred Smith
also entertained. Room is a welcome addition to the
uptown scene. We hope it succeeds.
ALL ON THE “TONIGHT’ Show this week: Or
ganist Jimmy Smith on Tuesday, singer Lovelace
Watkins on Wednesday and dancer-singer John
Bubbles on Friday. Watkins, incidentally inked for
Latin Quarter on May 1 .. . Many entertainers living
in 400 Central Park West, Park West Village. Such
as Duke Ellington, drummer Olantanju, singers
Miriam Makeba and Etta James, and Henry Mills of
the Mills Brothers . . . Liberty Records threw party
Tuesday at Toots Shors for its talent including Bobby
Vee, Eddie Heywood, Gene McDaniels, Si Zentner
and Nancy Ames with telephone hookup interviews
for those out of town. Over 500 attended.
COMEDIAN DICK GREGORY is serious in his
work to help the people in Mississippi who have been
cut off from U.S. surplus food distribution. His
latest album, “My Brother’s Keeper” will be distrib
uted by groups representing the Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish faiths, plus NAACP, with the proceeds
going to the food program. He deserves your com
mendation and support . . . Another comedian,
George Kirby, has an added bit to his mimicry which
is hilarious. It’s when he does both Jackie Gleason
and Frank Fontaine in their famous barroom scene
... Actress Cecily Tyson has a role in “A Sad World”,
on “The Nurses” on CBS-TV, April 11 . . . Catch
Johnny “Hammond” Smith on Riverside’s “Black
Coffee”, featuring Smith at the organ and Seldon
Poeell on tenor sax. Swinging platter was recorded
live in the Monterey Club in New Haven, Conn,
r THE VILLAGE GATE has a solid spring lineup.
The-Rooftop Singers of “Walk Right In” fame, folk ★
singer Leon Bibb and comedian Adam Keefe are ★
there through April 7, to be followed by the Smothers ★
Brothers, Woody Allen and Gerry Mulligan. After *
that comes guitarist Charlie Byrd (away from Wash-'*
ington) and Clark Terry. Later organist Jimmy *
Smith and then Miriam Makeba who had a packed *
house for every show when she last appeared there. |*

Moorehead, Robert Preston, Thel

4 Generations
"How The West Was Woo”, for
the first time brings to the scree1:
the entire dramatic and roman
tic panorama of the West. Span
ning the nation from the Erie

sweeping story is woven around
four generations of pioneers over
the years between 1839 and 1889,
the momentous half - century in
America’s history When the West
was finally won.
More than four years in prepa
ration and filming, the produc
tion is the biggest ever projected
in Hollywood from the standpoint
of all-star cast, sheet physical
scope and far-flung locations.
