She's by no means a traditional singer even now, but the emotional force of her delivery is unquestionable. Kven when her voice breaks, as it does several times here, it works. "GOODBYE SADNESS" is powerful stuff indeed, partially thanks to a chillingly mournful tenor solo by Michael Brecker. Matter of fact, it's all powerful, which may be the problem in listening to the entire album at one sitting. This isn't like hearing "Don't Worry Kyoko, Mummy's Only Looking for a Hand in the Snow" in the middle of varied moods.

It is a virtually unrelieved mood of mourning and sadness. It's all the more affecting given the history of Lennon and Ono in transmitting the most deeply personal trauma in songs. LennonVMother," for instance, reveals more in a song than most of us would tell a shrink. Ono even more used her songs as a kind of public catharsis. There is some good music here, particularly "Dogtown" and "Goodbye Sadness," but that doesn't seem the point.

From the rimshots to the odd little bit of conversation from son Sean, this album is of a piece. It's about grief and it really works on a gut level. The problem for me was that I felt like an eavesdropper. I wish her well, but I don't think I'll be playing this one every day or even every week. The intensity is too much.

"Somewhere in England" (Dark Horse) is the well-publicized George Harrison album with "All Those Years Ago," the song about the Beatles. In comparison with the Ono album, even that song is trivial. In comparison with almost anything, the album is a waste of time. fjovf for something a little more relevant. Alvin, Simon and Theodore have never been in better form than they are on "Urban Chipmunk" (RCA) an overdue sendup of the phenomenon that turned outlaws into drugstore cowboys.

"Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Chipmunks" has exactly the right level of silliness. "Time to Jump and Shout" (Stash) is the third and probably best album from the Widespread Depression Orchestra, a nice nine-piece band with plenty of horns. They do arrangements from the black big bands of the '30s and '40s usually, but this time have expanded their reach to original stuff and ballads. This is one fine band. Its appeal should not be limited to folks who personally and fondly remember the big bands.

Anybody with an ear or two should enjoy them. By Charles Petzold TONIGHT SATURDAY LAST 2 DAYS!
