Jazz poetry albums

I assume we're all appreciative of Ken Nordine already.

Anyway, starting this question due to listening to this kinda amazing artifact from 1958 just now:

Hearing Bob Dorough speak-sing a Ferlinghetti poem about a dog wandering the SF streets is a damn treat -- as is John Carradine going for broke from the opening notes.

I've only got one such album in my collection-- Odalisque, by Donald Rawley, with music by Sandra Tsing Loh (before she discovered NPR and vice versa). Haven't listened to it in years, have a fond memory of one track ("Cocktails"), and have no particular desire to listen to it now to report on it. Maybe later.

I recently discovered a thing by K. Curtis Lyle & Julius Hemphill that is a wayout tribute/rant on behalf of Blind Lemon Jefferson. Its sorta twisting my mind up a bit.

i'm cool!

also jeanne lee, that long muhal richard abrams track off 'levels and degrees of light', a black mass, etc etc...

the NEW YORK ART QUARTET alb on ESP has got Amiri Baraka reading “Black Dada Nihilismus” on it, and i think he joined them for some reunion gigs not too long ago

plus THE CLOWN by Charles Mingus and Jean Sheppard

then there are euro guys like phil minton and bob cobbing whose work moves between improv/free music and sound poetry

Shit, isn't there one of these with Iceberg Slim? Perhaps it wasn't jazz.

oh yeah the one with broadway sam the big mack man! i guess if we can include stuff like bob cobbing and minton then we can go the other way and also include funky stuff like iceberg slim, lightnin' rod, last poets, gil scott heron etc etc... unless you guys want to stick to beat-era stuff?
that 'weary blues' looks pretty good, def gonna look out for that one.
