Product DescriptionAbsurd folklorist Henry Jacobs returns with a selection of rare interviews, odd
loops, sales pitches, early synthesizer demos, an ether-infused evening, and more!
Produced in San Francisco and New York, Around The World With Henry Jacobs is
a travelogue that continues the story begun with The Wide Weird World of Henry
Jacobs, mixing archival material from the 1950s with recent improvisations by
Jacobs. Guests include Stan Freberg and Dr. Irwin Corey, with Alan Watts returning
for a visit, too. Also included is a special bonus disc: First Night, one of the true
gems from the collection. Recorded in February 1957 by Jacobs on the opening
night of the Poetry/Jazz Series at The Cellar in San Francisco, this unique document
captures the first time Kenneth Rexroth and Lawrence Ferlinghetti read their poetry
to jazz in this very intimate setting.
