(EDITOR S tJOTE: Florence L.D. Heal of Cape May, former supervisor of home economics for New Jersey, says she tried all the following Valentine's Day recipes In the last week. And all were great.) By Florence L.D. Heal Saint Valentines Day is (lie most publicized romantic holiday of the year. Heart-shaped boxes and cupids adorn shop windows. It is the time when many homemakers go to the upper shelf of the kitchen closet to find heartshaped molds for cakes and cookies used once a year. The most important thing is to prepare at your valentine celebration the food that the family like best. My family is very fond of chocolate, so I sometimes make my fudge cake recipe in the heartshaped pans.

Sounds

The folks at Fantasy Records do an amazing job of tastefully repackaging vintage jazz. Their series of double albums have been praised by critics worldwide and for good reason. One is always treated with super rare recordings by some of the biggest names in jazz. Each collection has thorough liner notes eithdr written by someone closely associated with the band leader or a noteworthy jazz scholar. With that in mind, I wholeheartedly recommend any jazz reissue from the Fanta’sy/Milestone/Prestige family of labels. Of special interest should be the following. THE SUDDEN death of Bill Evans in 1980 robbed the jazz world of a highly talented pianist and composer. These sides which were recorded in 1962 cap^ turc Evans in the right

light. His solos could be aggressive, but what always set Evans apart from others was the fact his playing was so smooth and flowing, giving almost a classical flavor to his jazz. The support from his musicians — especially drummer Phllly Joe Jones, guitarist Jim Hall, saxophonist Zoot Sims, and a youthful Freddie Hubbard on trumpet is sublime. Check out the Interplay Sessions. The same can be said for the late great Theloniou* Monk joint album with Gerry Mulligan, titled Round Midnight. These two jazz leaders met in 1957 and they meshed perfectly. Mulligan's baritone sax is smooth and even in contrast to Monk's off-beat, humanistic piano solos. Technically many other musiciaas were superior to Monk, yet few could give as

much warmth or humor to their music Add to that Monk's ability as a composer and one has to admit Monk truly was a unique genius. The Alternative Wes Montgomery is a collection of different takes from previously released versions. Throughout these four sides, one gets the idea of why Wes Montgomery is considered one of the most innovative jazz guitarists who ever lived. His solos were bright, nelodic and well thought wR, and his ability to play in octaves gave him h style few could steal. Wes Montgomery was quite effective at creating a mood with his soloing. Unfortunately, . many remember Montgomery for his latter work, which was more pop than jazz, but theaeagMes are proof that Wes Montgomery was an exceptional musician
