Acker Bilk Returning
Mr Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band will make a third New Zealand tour in September. Two changes have been made from the previous New Zealand tour combination. Bruce Turner on alto sax has been added to the group and lan Hunter-Randall replaces Colin Smith on the trumpet.
SO THEY SAY A composer must find himself a craft, establish a craft for himself and not worry about being stylish or getting commissions. I was explaining this to one of my college audiences recently—you know, the earnest young people with the black glasses. “Why bother,” they always ask, “when we might be snuffed out by the atom bomb?” “Don’t worry about the atom bomb,” I tell them, “worry about Death.” —David Diamond, American composer.
