III. SUPERMAN TMM-a Tuck KTTHm TROMBONIST URBIE Green, a frequent visitor to Rick's Cafe in the Holiday Inn Lake Shore, opened at the club again Tuesday billed with pianist Tommy Flanagan. Although Green has done well in the past for Rick's and probably is the drawing name, it is Flanagan who makes this quartet worth hearing. It is not that there is anything wrong with Green. He is marvelously fluent as a technician and he plays smooth, pretty ballads.

However, most his rhythm improvisations sound like mere exercises, played without mood or nuance. Flanagan, on the other hand, is at once a tower of strength and master of subtlety. His solos are sophisticated weaving of multitextured bop while his accompaniment is so graceful as to tie felt more than heard. In fact, many people associate Flanagan more as an accompanist (he spent 10 years with Ella Fitzgerald) than as a soloist or modern pianist. But he has played with many top jazz artists including Miles Davis, J.J.

Johnson, and Harry Edison. ON TUESDAY'S set, Flanagan's features included a liquid "Willow Weep for Me" and a bright "When Lights are Low." The up-tempo "Lights" opened in a surprising but delightful fashion a slow, haunting "Passion Flower" by Billy Strayhorn. The best of the team efforts came oh Joe Cocker's lovely tune, "You Are So Beautiful." Other numbers included "I Can't Get Started." "Tangerine," "It Might as Well Be Spring," and "Just Friends." Green played many of these same songs last August at Rick's when he appeared with a group that included Red Norvo and Buddy Tate in the front line. Evidently inspired by the prestigious company, Green played far more music than he does in a quartet setting. Appearing with Flanagan and Green is bassist Kelly Sill, a strong, swinging asset to any rhythm section.

Unfortunately drummer Chuck Christiansen is the group's weak link, playing obtrusively on drums that have an irritatingly tinny sound. ELSEWHERE IN JAZZ: While Urbie Green is lolding forth at Rick's, another jazz trombonist visits Chicago the superb Curtis Fuller is at Jazz Showcase through Sunday. Fuller plays with saxophonist Sonny Stitt, who has been held over from last weekend. Harriet Choke SUPERMAN PQ No WMM Dolby Slerao laOQOSprlngM.laa-lieO rn. Sal Sun.

That such effects are best suited to comedy became clear when Moore sang "Dat Dere," the Bobby Timmons-Oscar Brown Jr. tune in which a mother is bedeviled by her endlessly inquisitive child.

Here, Moore's alternation between "child" and "adult" voices made the song into a miniature comic drama. But it does seem that Moore's chosen style of singing leaves her without much suitable material, unless she is playing a character on Broadway. While her soul tunes were adequate imitations of that music, imitations are all that they were. Opening the show was comedian-impressionist Tony D' Andrea, who was making his second appearance, at the Blue Max. He does all the standard voices (Cagney, Karloff, Lugosi, as well as a startlingly accurate Rodney Dangerfiela.

I'm sure, however, D'Andrea would be better off if he cut down on the impressions and allowed his own comic style to emerge. More than any young Vegas-style comic I've seen recently, he seems to be a naturally funny man a genuine clown who combines the New York shlumpiness of Dangerfield with the flighty hysteria of Oliver Hardy. CLUB NOTES: Speaking of vocalists who are visting or are about to visit Chicago, two interesting performers should be mentioned. Buddy Greco, king of the finger-popping cafe singers, will be at the Playboy Club through March 3. (The Playboy Club is open only to keyhol-ders and their guests.

Keys may be purchased at the club for $25.) And Anita O'Day, the exuberant jazz will perform at Rick's Cafe Americain Tuesday through March 3. Larry Kart SOMETIMES I think I should close up shop as a critic, take a crash course in medicine, and devote myself to the care and protection of the human voice with a special emphasis on Broadway-based female singers who are doing everything in their power to destroy what vocal resources they have. The urge became quite strong Monday night at the Blue Max while I was listening to Melba Moore, who won a Tony Award for her work in "Purlie." Moore, who will be appearing at the club through Feb. 24, is a performer of considerable charm sort of a hip Leslie Uggams and she has enough pizzazz to carbonate a carload of soda pop. But, oh, how she abuses her basically pretty voice.

Despite her recently successful forays into soul music territory, Moore is a true Broadway baby. Like almost every female performer who has made it on the musical stage, she hardly has a natural voice anymore, although the opening bars of her first number, "I Got Love" from "Purlie," suggested what it once was a mellow, contraltolike croon. Because musical roles demand larger-than-life characterization, often for comic or sensationalistic effect, Moore and her sisters have learned to push their voices way up. (into the "belt and "head" registers) and way down (into the "chest" range). While a Merman or a Streisand can bring off these vocal gymnastics, Moore and many others suffer the consequences.

Her favorite trick, a belted-out high note held longer than seems possible, is a show-stopper to be sure. But usually the sound becomes a screech, and an out-of-tune one at that. DISTRESSING, TOO, is her "head" voice, which was displayed on "Summertime." Sopranolike sounds emerged, but they were so thin and disembodied that WARRIORS 730 and 9:30 ft 12 Mtdnlt Fri.
