clifford_thornton Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Personally I could never get that into them, but the Haki R. Madhubuti (Don L. Lee) albums certainly fit the bill. Forgot to mention these upthread: https://www.discogs.com/release/4059278-Nation-Afrikan-Liberation-Art-Ensemble-Featuring-Haki-R-Madhubuti-Don-L-Lee-Rise-Vision-Comin https://www.discogs.com/release/1274063-Haki-R-Madhubuti-Nation-Medasi I thought Rise Vision Comin was the better of the two. Ended up trading them years ago, alas. Joe McPhee's poetry is awesome. I will have to pick up a copy of that CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) Having read Joseph Jarman's book published by Blank Forms, I should have mentioned him... Going to see Joe McPhee in a spoken word concert this weekend, but don't know what is on the program. Edited May 13 by T.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Yes, that performance is awesome -- a real classic. I saw him read as part of Equal Interest in at least one Vision Festival, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I'm a big fan of this one, however for some reason or another I got rid of it at one point and it's not so easy to replace for the amount I bought it for the first time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Soul, Barbara Simmons with Jackie Mac & Grachan, et al On this album Wm. Blake is set to new music since his music has been lost, sometimes it's sung and sometimes spoken. And I have a cassette recording of me reading my Hank Mobley poem to the accompaniment of my friend Scot Fultz's band Straight No Filter, said poem published in the UK literary journal Fire, all rights reserved by yours truly. as far as I know, it's not on the net. No wonder he got a No Bell Prize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Townsend platter this is Barbara Simmons aka Barbara Donald .... always assumed that Barbara Simmons - whose work was published by Amiri Baraka - being a different person ....
