RECORD REVIEW

The Harper Brothers — Artis-
try, PolyGram Records 1991

This sextet of young New York-
based bebappers put out two
classy shows at the Saturno last
month at the du Maurier Interna-
tional Jazz Festival.

Drummer Winard Harper and
trumpeting brother Philip Harper
grew up in Baltimore absorbing
the music of Max Roach, Wynton
Kelly and Clifford Brown.

Philip went on to play with Art
Blakey and The Jazz Messengers.
The brothers combined forces in
1983 to hone original hard-bop
chops.

Artistry, alternately meditative
and explosive, does not disap-
point. The energy unleashed in a
live forum translates well on CD.
The Harpers prove themselves deft
and intuitive composers in the
bargain.

The KLF — The White Room,
KLF Communications/BMG 1991

TWO English guys skip through
the house of hip hop, walk off
with heads full of strange interior
decorating ideas and come up
with a very interesting white room.

No More Tears trickles with fab
reggae riddim. Justified And An-
cient, a chunk from Hey Hey We
Are Not The Monkees is a nice bit
of slinky soul. And the dance
spectacular What Time Is Love?
squeezes sweat from slone.

Tom Jones — Carrying A
Torch, Chrysalis Records 1991

Van Morrison produces four cuts
on the manly crooner’s latest. The
bizzare match-up works. But
overall the release is spotty. When
testosterone-powered inclinations
go unchecked and Tom gets too
puffed up, things go bad, like on
the laughable Killer On The
Sheets.

When perspective is given, a
step back and a sideways glance in
the mirror, it’s a real heartbreak
high. The sob and throb of a song
like Old Flame Blue sees Jones go-
ing over-the-top with suitable
melodrama.

Jablkon & Sveceny, BAN 1991
The Vancouver Folk Music Fes-
tival introduced to Vancouver ears
a fine contingent of musicians

from Czechoslovakia several
weeks ago.

Jabikon, two acoustic guitarists,
a man-mountain of a bass player
and brilliant percussionist, fuse
elements of Czech folk, jazz and
classical expression for a
delightfully avant-garde splash ina
surrealist’s kitchen sink.

The humor so evident at the folk
festival performances is tempered
by the contemplative violin work
of Sveceny oo this recorded
outing, The cassette, a Creech im:
port, will be difficult to find. Check
out Black Swan in Vancouver, The
musical adventurer will be well
rewarded by the search,

Gipsy Kings —- Este Mundo,
Columbia 1991
The damenco kines have lean

ed not to mess with a good thing.
Regaining the equilibrium of
1982's Allegria, Este Mundo sees
the group toning down the syn-
thesizer coloring and instead
choosing to find brightness in nat-

THE KLF play with sonic color in The White Room, the Brits’
latest release.

Some people believe that Domino’s Pizza® is interested
only in delivering pizza in 30 minutes or less. Yes, 30 minute
delivery is important to us. But far, far more important is
safe delivery. With 70,000 drivers on the road every day,
safety has to be our first concern.

The fact is, our entire delivery system is geared to give
our drivers ample time to deliver. And it‘s important to us
that you — our valued customers —- know how we do it. Over
the past 30 years, we’ve developed the most efficient pizza
making methods in the business, having introduced many
techniques that are no standard in the industry.

By the time you hang up the phone, we've already started
making your pizza. Our specially designed counters put all
our fresh ingredients right at the fingertips of our trained
crew. Your pizza is handmade in minutes, and placed in
special ovens — another innovation — that bake a pizza in
less than 10 minutes. Your pizza is usually ready for delivery
in 12 minutes.

Since our delivery areas average two miles or less, this
leaves our drivers nearly 18 minutes to make it to your home.
After millions of safe deliveries, we know that’s plenty of
time.

Incidentally, if for some reason we miss our 30 minute
guarantee, we pay the refund, never the delivery person.

We're a part of yourcommunity and thousands of others
all over the country. We have a shared interest in safety, so
we are asking for your help: /f you see any careless driving
by Domino’s Pizza drivers, contact the store or call this toll-
free number: 1-800-DOMINOS.

For us, just like you, it’s always safety first.

Sincerely,

Dave Black Mark Anglin
President, Domino's Pizza, Inc. Franchisee, North Vancouver
