STAN GETZ—Another World (Columbia):: A meaty session by Getz and his current group of young Turks (plus Billy Hart, a middle-aged Turk) featuring hard blowing and catchy originals. Should obliterate any residual associations you may have linking Getz with airy bossa cotton nova candy. Highlights: Beautiful use of synthesizers for coloration and listening to Getz blow his mind via Digital Delay with Moog Echoplex on the title cut.

TONIO K.-Life In The Foodchain (Full Moon)::This album is as energetic and eccentric within its given hippie-blooze limits as Root Boy Slim's was last year. This set might be approached as a sort of pouting-Californian response to the points-East ascendancy of the New Wave: the self-proclaimed Tonio K. (cf. Mann) fairly screams out his obliquely protesting lyrics, over an all-American studio band churning it out as loud and fast (but never as crude) as you always wanted it. Life in Tonio K.'s fast-foodchain necessarily involves gulping down some rather hefty chunks of legendary boogermen all the way from Capt. Beefheart to Peter Wolf to the Dooboid Bros., but try to hold off with the Heimlich maneuver until you:ve heard all nine cuts.
