Jazz, America's most original art form,
has traveled a long road—from seedy
honky tones to the classroom.
Dick Wright, associate director of KANU radio station, has helped make the change by teaching a class in jazz history.
The free swing, improvised jazz style was originated in the United States, probably by black musicians in turn-of-the-Century New Orleans, Wright said Wednesday.
"A lot of people don't realize that it's really America's only original art form and that it's really close to classical music, because it has its own unique crime and drugs, because it grew up in barrooms. Also in the beginning it was the black man's music and whites didn't listen
It wasn't until jazz moved north to Kansas City, Chicago, and New York, he said, that white musicians began to lazv jazz.
"Then it became really popular. It evolved into the Big Band sound of the 1930s." Wright said.
AFTER ROCK 'N' ROLL became the dominant style of popular music, jazz faded, Wright said. But in recent years, jazz has acquired a new following of fans interested
"It has influenced all forms of modern music, just as the other styles have influenced jazz," he said.
There are rock musicians who play jazz,
jazz musicians who play rock and a wide
range of musicians in between who
"borrow" from each other's styles. he said
Wright grew up around jazz in his Watertown, N.Y. hometown. During high school and song he played in jazz bands and sang. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in vocal music at KU with the goal of becoming an opera singer, Wright said.
"I even won a Metropolitan Opera audition, but I realized that wasn't what I really wanted to do." he said.
HE RETURNED to KU in 1956 and became director of KANU. Two years ago he was made associate director of the school, which he co-founded to teach magic history courses on June 1974.
Music also is part of his life away from the University, Wright said. He sings professionally in the area, attends music festivals, collects recordings and literature on jazz and maintains one of the area's most collections of jazz recordings, he said.
His collection of jazz music has become a major part of his work, Wright said, because of the sound's new following.
"I get two or three calls a day for information on this musician or that recording," he said. "I've found that all the material I collected comes in hand."
Part of his collection can be heard at Paul Gray's * Jazz Place, a local jazz nightpot*, he said. About 100 records from his collection were made up of the "jazz jokes" at Paul Gray's * Jazz Place*.
“IT MUST be one of the most unique jukeboxes in the country,” he said. “It’s the only one I know of that’s all it says.”
The music of jazz greats like Lester Young, Dave Brubeck and Duke Ellington is on the ukebox. he said.
The jakebox doesn't have recordings of jazz musicians who have turned to playing more "commercial music," Wright said. Popular musicians such as Chuck Mangione and George Benson play music that is more accessible than the average listener than jazz, he said.
Although he said he feels that such musicians are not strictly jazz players, he credits them with drawing young people to the sound.

"They get interested in Manhoga's popular stuff and then they want to look into his earlier stuff, which is real jazz. Then they get hooked," he said.

Alan Alda displays his versatility in 'The Seduction of Joe Tynan'
"The Seduction of Joe Tynan," a film now showing at the Granada Theatre, 1920 Massachusetts St. Screenplay by Alan Alda, directed by Jerry Schatzberg. Released by Universal Productions, Inc. under Alan Alda, Barbara Harris and Mira Street.
By BECKY ALDRIDGE Kansan Reviewer
Alain Alai's achievement in "The Seduction of Joe Tyan" is his performance as actor and writer surprise his television work (which has been good), and a feeling comes from the film.
"Seduction" examines the weaknesses that power exposes.
Sen. Joe Tyan is a young liberal from New York whose charisma and uncompromising attitude toward work earns him a Kennedy-like reputation. The backbone of his business is a hunger satiated only by his Washington work—leaving his family starved for his company. Tyan's political appetite leads him to senatorial bargaining, the cocktail-party circuit and a glowing affair with a civil rights lawyer (Mary) Streng.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Review
EVERYONE IS ENCHanted with Joean except his wife (Garbarri) and his son. As the senator and his son and daughter widens as he accumulates political notoriety and wealth, Joean becomes the leader.
a resolution of Tyman's personal problem is reflected on Harris' face in the delicate yet tumultuous moment before he addresses the audience. He is the president nomination. He has achieved a degree of personal and political contentment but the audience is concerned.
THE CONFLICT between Tyan's personal and political life is the basis of several emotional scenes that could have been staged by him. He staring into the camera. But director Jerry Schatzberg fortunately has avoided mush by focusing the camera on the expressive gestures.
Alda's script makes its moral points by juxtaposition. Tynan's daughter slowly becomes corrupted at the same time her mother is corrupted when his wife he; he appears to care about his constituency, but searches for a political battle he can win merely to build a good
Harris's eyes throw darts that jab both Aalba and Streep as they clumsily try to make their acquaintance seem stricty professional. In a simple shot earlier in the movie, Streep films the screen with her quiet, cool demeanor that the senior still loves his wife.
Steve and Harris are outstanding in their well-defined roles as intelligent, liberated women caught in circumstances they can't control. When wife and mistress meet,
GIVING SUPERB support to many of Ala's scenes are Rip Torn and Melvyn Douglas as older senators with different approaches to their congressional duties. The governor is also grieving his time gratifying his sexual appetite, while Douglas' elderly statemen fights a creeping sense that becomes painfully evident at a Senate hearing. The old man laps into French, deaf the world, while he stands him at dumb with embarrassment.
Alda underpauls his role, compared to the two women. He fits the part of Joon Tynan, who is often a bit defensive; he makes viewers hate him. His seduction by power is subtle, slow at first but accelerated when he takes over. Gradually he builds the persona of Tynan, although the character is not as despicable
Tynan's aide, played by Charles Kimbrough, is incredibly ruthless in his quest for power. He upsets the balance of Tynan against the material than Tynan, but still is effective.
The script should have taken more care to define Tyan's background. All that is given are a few obscure references to "the first fighter," and the life before Tyan's move to Washington.
THE DECISION to break off the affair with Streep is sudden and the goodbye scene is disappointing. It's over almost before the audience realizes what happened. Although emotions build, the film tackles a definite standoff, but with only a few soft peaks its end is.
But Schatzberg's attention to detail helps emphasize Tyan's fail from innocence and enhances the other characters. The film begins with singing children on a choir in a democratic convention. Alternating close-ups of Aida and Douglas emphasize the elder senator's senility. Shots of the computerized mailing process, complete with an automatic pen that scribbles Tyan's name and a scripted portraying of a candidate with ironic finesse.
As a first effort, Ada's movie is bright and promising. He and Schlathger have been in the studio for a while, repeated, the "power corruptions" theme and they show the potential to make truly great films.

Sgt. Preston, #815 615 New Hampshire St,
next to Quantrill's Flea Market, opened its
door for business this week, according to
Dan Kelly, the club's owner.
Membership to St. Peter's cost $10
membership, sandwich and salad bar to the public for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Saturday and from noon to 2:30
Club members are welcome from 11 a.m.
to 3 a.m. every day.
It is the sandwich and salad bar that Kelly said he hoped would make the club successful.
The sandwiches offered include the usual meats but Spt. Presston's also serves sandwiches with ingredients such as cashew butter and bacon, cucumber and cheese, crabmeat and pimeapple and asparagus tips, which are topped with any number of seven cheeses.
CUSTOMERS CAN choose from five kinds of bread, including a nine-grain bread that is being baked for the club by Cornucopia restaurant Kellan said.
Prices for sandwiches ranged from $2.40 to $3 without any extra ingredients.
Salads and homemade soups also are
available. The soup menu includes corn
cornbread, pinto beans, mungy and piato's dahl chili,
all made from recipes developed at the original
St. Pegatron's in the North Minneapolis.
PICTURES OF original mounties convey this theme and add to the rugged outdoor look of the club.
"We got the name from the Sgt. Preston radio show and television series, Sgt. Preston was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police," he said.
Kelly said his club was designed like the Minneapolis club, which opened about three years ago.
The wooden bar has a marble top and cast iron bar stools that once were tractor seats.
Since its opening Monday night, Kelly said, business has been good. One of the first customers was Gov. John Carlin who sent her a card to Topeka from Kansas City.
The tin roof, highlighted by two pyramid-shaped skylights and a stained glass window, adds to the effect. Brass rails line the sides of the skylight, where the warm wooden alphabets are located.
Kelly said approximately 750 memberships had been sold to KU students and Lawrence residents.
"We want to get a mixture of both in a place where they can interact and feel comfortable," he said.
Kelly said the club was expecting big crowds on game days and would have bus service from Sgt. Preston's to the stadium and back.
