Album Description Two of the most brilliant poets of the beat generation, Kenneth Patchen and Lawrence Ferlinghetti performing their compelling works in a Jazz context. This edition captures the movement in poetry toward all-inclusiveness, and a belief that the language and music of the street had their own beauty, integrity and significance, rooted as they were in the experience of ordinary people. Patchen is one the most important American writers of the 20th century and Ferlinghetti wrote Coney Island Of The Mind which sold a million copies. In terms of both attitude and style, Patchen and Ferlinghetti paved the way for Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison and Captain Beefheart. El. 2008. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBest Patchen Recordings Available J. Cohen | 07/30/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "For all Patchen fans, these jazz-poetry recordings of Kenneth Patchen with the Chamber Jazz Sextet are a must-have. Lawrence Ferlinghetti also has a few of his own jazz-poetry recordings tacked on for good measure. But the real standouts here are all Patchen's.
One reason is that Patchen's tracks sound like true collaborations. The musician Allyn Ferguson wrote compositions that really fit Patchen's poems to a T. They're not just generic jazz accompaniment. They're original, fun, and well-arranged. Patchen's readings here are also top-notch. The only drawback with this CD is the sound quality which is admittedly poor (that's why I've only given it 4 stars). But I think that the quality of the performances here make up for the sound. " |
