It ‘is obvious to anyone who knows this industry that they are after my tail, but the damnable thing is that ’ they’re after it with tax- payers money.” Davidson estimated that McCain has received almost $20 million under various government aid programs in recent years. a Spetifore said discussions with the —‘ provincial government have. taken place over the past year.

JAZZ NEEDS BREAK Part of the problem is that “jaz is very deeply rooted in the black heritage, and until Americans start giving the black man a good shake, it's doubtful they'll give his music a fair shake,”' he said. Despite those problems, BST keeps playing and trying to “bring pop and aesthetic tastes together in aa ClaytonThomas said. mo BST, credited in the late 19608 with what Clayton- Thomas terms the ‘“‘corn- flake” title of jazz-rock creator, turned out hits like Spinning Wheel, You Made e So Very Happy and many others, - _ Typically, a BST cut has Clayton-Thomas smoothly working his pow voice the: group’s horn: the almighty ag playing. That technique, he said, comes from methods used by the big bands years iz : He said his presence helps with audiences which are not into “heavy jazz” and look for an “up-front en- tertainer.”’. But in a New York jazz club, "I have all these soloists who can take over.” - Clayton-Thomas pointed with pride to the musical abilities and backgrounds of other BST members. He said Tony Klatka, on trumpet and flugelhorn, did arrangements for Woody _ Herman, while Greg Her- bert, on saxophone, was Duke Ellingten’s premier soloist. ° Larry Willis, on acoustic piano, has a doctorate in music, while Neal Steubenhaus, on bass guitar, has taught college courses in music. Others in- the group include David Bargeron on bass trombone and tuba; Mike Lawrence, trumpet and fiugelhorn; Bobby Economo on drums, and Randy Heberson on electric guitar.
