Jack Kerouac | Poetry For The Beat Generation (w/ Steve Allen) | Album
Regular price
Poetry for the Beat Generation (1959) is a foundational masterpiece of spoken-word art that captures the raw, improvisational soul of the Beat movement. Born out of a disastrous, unbacked gig at the Village Vanguard, the album paired a nervous Jack Kerouac with the intuitive jazz-inflected "cocktail" piano accompaniment of television star Steve Allen. The result is a monumental record that bridges literature and jazz.
