Plácido Domingo makes his Carnegie Hall debut Tenor Plácido Domingo makes his Carnegie Hall debut on November 15 in a performance of Donizetti’s Anna Bolena with the American Opera Society and conductor Henry Lewis. Carnegie Hall is declared a New York City landmark. US premiere of Arvo Pärt's Perpetuum mobile Lukas Foss leads the Buffalo Philharmonic in the US premiere of Arvo Pärt's Perpetuum mobile on May 7, the first performance of any work by Pärt in the Western Hemisphere.

The Latin rhythm and slippery guitar by Benson pull the rhythm section up a notch before he begins the head. His funky articulation of fifths and then eighths in his break is mesmerizing. The way Chapell rides the cymbal like a bell is particularly satisfying. The album closes on another Benson original with Laws popping in again. Over ten minutes in length, it begins with Benson in full roar before the time signature changes and triples, feeling like a bebop tune more than anything else.

Jo Amar's love of Arabic music was strong and he made several recordings in Arabic. But it was his Hebrew recordings which introduced Mizrahi music to mainstream Israeli culture and was responsible, to a great extent, for its growing popularity. By 1970 he was living in New York singing professionally as a well-known cantor. He spent the last two decades of his life in his beloved Israel where his artistry brought him many honors and awards.
