Kenneth Rexroth: Poetry and Jazz at the Blackhawk (Fantasy 7008; red vinyl)

Some of it sounds a little old-fashioned, but most of it is straight up beat "hip."

[BillF]

I'm sure it sounds better than the poetry and jazz attempts over here. As Bev and I commented after hearing a Christopher Logue record, those upper-class English voices just didn't sound right with jazz!

Yeah, I understand. Rexroth comes across as a bit academic on this LP, but I'm a fan of his writing, so the jazz infusion makes me biased in my appreciation of the record. He even recites a nice piece to the tune of Ellington's "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." He was a moderately big jazz fan, and even wrote a nice piece about Ornette Coleman back in the day.

Giants of Jazz (Atlantic). I listen to this one every once in a while and enjoy it for what it is - good, not great.

Those NY USAs must have been nuclear hardened. Even beat up copies can sound great, as you say.
