RestumWm Abraham Restum, now appearing at Jilly’s, Palm Springs, is a multitalented comic, vocalist, musician, artist and veteran showman in the approach to a peaceful, plain unaffected but spontaneously exciting level of on stage presentation. His visual countenance, highlighted by an obviously different “hook nose’’ adds to his complete and unique image which is dressed up with a casual boatneck shirt with pocket in front made exclusively by Momma Restum. Restum is presented here in a totally different artistic communicative approach than his music—he is the artist, weaver of color, form and movement which he titles as “The sound of color.” His longtime nostalgic success inMiami Beach, Fla., has been interspersed by visitations to the Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe; Playboy Club, Los Angeles and San Francisco; AI Hirt's Night Club, New Orleans; and entertainment spots in London. Paris, Rome, Athens and Beirut. In his Los Angeles art gallery. Restum is found as an abstract impressionist of great manly flow and humanistic colorful subtleties. His works are a fantasy of aesthetic mistiness inspired by his music. On the bandstand, upon listening one notices an immediately affecting ingeniousness and a high, subtle sophistication about his musical glow. Tuneful songs reflect these qualities and they are open to many kinds of interpretations.
