JSngry Posted February 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I love stuff like this just on principal. But this one has more than just principle going for it, imo. Good thoughts, good delivery. Definitely, as advertised, a good addition to the Last Poets/Gil Scott Heron continuum. I look for this stuff whereever I can find it, spoken word of what I guess today would be considered "Afro-centric", but back then would have been rightly viewed as "people's poetry". Also, the fact that the guy's a barber and has stayed a barber, in his own shop, that lack of "star ambition" speaks very well to me.

Also, the fact that the guy's a barber and has stayed a barber, in his own shop, that lack of "star ambition" speaks very well to me. I bought it unheard because of the Gil Scott-Heron continuum. I really like it and had no idea about the barber angle which makes me like it more. I was listening to the Jayne Cortez with Richard Davis, I'm assuming that's in the same continuum for you. Also, we both like Ursula Rucker I believe, continuum's continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 The Carla Bley Big Band Goes to Church (Watt/ECM, 1996) What fun this era of Carla Bley is. For a brief period, her writing was similar to in her late 60s/early 70s period, but without the excesses. (Not to knock mid 70s through mod 80s Carla, which I like a whole lot too).
