That sounds really interesting. I've been listening to
kerouac/kicks joy
darkness and William Burroughs with Material/Bill Laswell and I
guess i'm
all geared up for a Beat season this summer. Any suggestions
about what I
should listen to next? Any recent spoken word+jazz I should
check out as
well?
BTW, I really like the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron, and this
group called
'Watts Prophets' are often mentioned in the same breath. Anyone
heard of
them?
