Review Music moves throuah foa u u By ROBB LANE Features reporter The fog covered the city so completely that one might have collided with an iceberg or bumped into Jack the Ripper. But chances arc they too, if properly attired, would have been on their way to see the USC Chamber Orchestra perform a free concert in Drayton * * _ it man. The concert opened with the Concerto Grosso, Opus 6, No. 8 by Arcangelo Corelli. It moved gently through the strings and harpsichord and was very relaxing. The Concerto for Two Violins in A Minor, Opus 3, No. 8 by Antonio Vivaldi was next, with concertmaster Jose Santos Perez and conductor Donald Portnoy leading the orchestra with a lively violin duet. After a brief intermission the orchestra played Violin Concerto in E Major, Opus 8, No. 1 by Antonio Vivaldi, (Spring from the Four Seasons). The music worked its way throuRh the str ings as a hummingbird might go from flower to flower. Truly, this piece itself is spring. The concert closed with the Holberg Suite, Opus 40 by Edvard Grieg. ! GOT M We urgently need peopl to aid in medical researc had mono within the pe qualify for $100 per we time. Call 254-6537.

Well, let's let Uncle Ric show us how! Step 1: Take all your favorite Cars albums and set them on fire. Step 2: Stack them on ton of each other so that they smoulder into one greasy mass of vinyl. Step 3: Voila! The new Ric Ocasek album, complete with The Cars as a tight and relatively well-known backup band. Is this just a subtle hint from rock's favorite vampire? Sorry, but I would settle for being amused rather than comatose. Using the rest of The Cars just makes me wonder how set in his ways this Ric creature is, it doesn't seem like he's even trying. Why should he, he'll sell a million or two and buy a new Porsche. Give me the sequel to Heartbeat City anyday, just tell me that its the real thing, OK? Leave me some ill - - illusions.

I have to admit it is an admirable debut, and I am curious as to how much input Diane Grey Page has in this offering. The music is very good and quite well thought out, but I did miss a real bass track (instead of the MIDI bass stuff that doesn't sound like a real *\ uass, . . ycij. "The Lace" is probably my pick of the lot, though. "Too Hot To Stop" shows a neat edge. Maybe we should've expected some heavy breathing on "Stay the Night," but as far as I am concerned, this is a hot first effort, worthy of a few good singles.

Bob James, Obsession, Warner Brothers records When Lenny White shows up programming instead of playing, I seriously contemplate one of two actions: crowing about this marvelous technology that allows us to do so much so well, or bemoaning the fact that those heartless machines have intruded into jazz. Yes, Virginia (and Connecticut, for that matter), IBM has contracted toe-jam footfalls. This is a very clean album, thanks to digital mastering and mixing, and winds up on the home stereo more than on the Walkthing. Applause for Lisa Fischer's vocal track on ''Gone Hollywood," a song that would've been redundant if done in rock, but has a certain per tincnce in jazz. Nicky Moroch smokes on his guitar solo in "3 a.m.," a song that sent me back to Rick's Cafe, after hours, sharing memories with Bogey in the punctuated silences of the searchlights. . . a fine album by a past master of jazz. My only reservations arc about the use of computers in a mainly improvisational area of music. If it works, great, and my hat's off to you.
