Celebrate the centennial of Jack Kerouac with Blues And Haikus, a singular blend of jazz and spoken word from the legendary Beat author. Accompanied by famed tenor saxophonists Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, Kerouac's stream-of-consciousness poetry intertwines seamlessly with the improvisational energy of late ‘50s jazz, creating a strikingly intimate performance that captures the spirit of the Beat Generation.
This special anniversary release of Blues And Haikus brings new life to an essential jazz and literary collaboration. With Cohn and Sims trading riffs and solos around Kerouac’s expressive readings, the album stands as both a tribute to American artistic innovation and an unforgettable snapshot of creative spontaneity between friends.
