Mann, philharmonic blend talents

To say the least, it was entertaining.
To say the least, it was entertaining.
The concert in the city of
Mann, together with the Kansas City
Philharmonic Orchestra, exemplified last
night in Hoch Audio Hall in
Kansas City and applied to music.
In the beginning the mood was serious, as the sounds of Mann's electric flute dominated his "Concerto Grosso in D Blues," which he wrote with William Fischer. It was surprising to see how well a jazz octet blended with an orchestra.
Mann, who had not played at the age of Kunze since 1971, performed before a marquee at the New York State Fair.
After the orchestra had played the opening selection, "Fanfare and Dance," Mann and his sextet quietly walked on and cantivated the audience for two hours.
The pairing of the orchestra with Mann's music lasted through the symphonic arrangement of "Memphis Underground" and an arrangement by Mann called "Underground." Then, after an internmission, Mann and his group resampled without the orchestra.
THE BAND got a little more casual as it began with a tune called "Cinnamon Flower." The combination of jazz and bossa influenced the band's cleilent percussion of Raphael Cruz. The
KANSAN Review
It was hard to believe that the ssexet had been together only a year, especially when the group drifted into the harmony of "Cricket Dance."
only drawback was the bad acoustics of Hoch.
He progressed from the classical concert to the sound Brazilian jazz to an ending of the work.
Cruz, with his percussion sound effects, Ricardo Silvera on electric guitar and Mann with his electric flute were highlighted in this tranquil jazz tune, which relaxed the audience and prepared it for what was to come.
THE AUDIENCE might not have been sure at first, but as Mann began to blow into his pipe and sway to the slow, pulsating rhythm of the bass guitar, everyone knew it was the blues.
After Mann introduced the motif with his flute, Gravis took over and demonstrated the sound that musicians such as B.B. King made famous.
As the blues mood took over, each musician was illuminated as he played his instrument.

The audience was so overwhelmed that after the music ended and the band had left the stage, a standing ovation and shouts of "Love" and "Sound" brought back the group.
The performers gave the audience its final pleasure with a tune called "Love and Peace," and then, as quietly as they entered the stage, they left.
THE ONE THING that could have improved the performance was less playing by the orchestra. It was good, but some of its time could have been given to Mann. This time he could have pleased the audience, because it called back Mann's group for a second encore.
One of the members of the group said he had been hesitant about playing with an onetoat.

"An orchestra isn't a sctet." Clouden said. "But, it's working out OK."
It did work out OK, and the combination of music was appreciated. But Mann's sextet won the prize.
The band has played with orchestra in Boulder, Colo.; Austin, Texas; and Dallas. From Lawrence the band will go to Minneapolis.
