VA - Beat Jazz Vol. 1+ Vol. 2, Pictures From The Gone World [2010] (2 x CDs)

In dimly lit jazz clubs, where saxophones croon and pianos weep, a unique alchemy unfolds. Jazz, with its improvisational spirit, dances hand-in-hand with spoken word poetry. The syncopated rhythms of the double bass echo the cadence of verses, creating a tapestry of emotion. The smoky air reverberates with tales of love, loss, and rebellion. These artists, like modern-day troubadours, weave their narratives, sometimes melancholic, sometimes defiant, against a backdrop of brass and percussion. In this ephemeral space, the boundaries blur, and the spoken word becomes a jazz instrument, painting vivid pictures from the gone world.

Both volumes are captivating sets of compilations that blends jazz with spoken word poetry.  Amazing 50's and early 60's beatnik bongo songs, jazz tunes and way-out poetry. Ellie Girl and the 7 Beats Sulks are soooo coooool !!!! You'll be snapping your fingers with glee.  These compilations invite you to explore the intersection of jazz and spoken word, where music and language intertwine. Such a world evoked (B)
