Description Vintage beatnik poetry set to cool jazz sounds on this long lost but much talked about album. The poems of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Philip Whalen, Langston Hughes and Dylan Thomas among others, read by John Carradine, Hoagy Carmichael and Bob Dorough. Cool jazz backings by Gerry Mulligan, Chico Hamilton and Ralph Pena leading to deep, evocative diatribes and scary visions recounted in an unreal setting. All that and pretty hip too.
