Review by Nodar Gligvashvili

Blues and Haikus is a unique and intriguing album by Jack Kerouac, the renowned American writer and poet. Released in 1959, the album is a collaboration between Kerouac and jazz saxophonist Al Cohn and features a mix of spoken word poetry and instrumental jazz music.

The album showcases Kerouac's unique style of poetry, which combines traditional haiku with the improvisational style of jazz. His spoken word performances are accompanied by Cohn's soulful saxophone, creating a moody and atmospheric sound that perfectly captures the spirit of the Beat Generation.

The album's standout tracks include "October in the Railroad Earth," which features Kerouac's vivid descriptions of a train journey through the American landscape, and "The Sounds of the Universe Coming in My Window," a haunting meditation on the mysteries of life and death.

About Jack Kerouac

Born: 12 March 1922 in Lowell, Massachusettes, USA. Died: 21 October 1969 in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. The American writer and poet Jack Kerouac, né Jean Louis Kerouac, became the leading chronicler of the beat generation, a term that he coined to label a social and literary movement in the 1950's. After studying briefly at Columbia University, he achieved fame with his spontaneous and unconventional prose, particularly the novel "On The Road" (1957). After the success of this work Kerouac produced a series of thematically and structurally similar novels, including "The Dharma Bums" and "The Subterraneans" (both 1958), "Doctor Sax" (1959), "Lonesome Traveler" (1960), and "Big Sur" (1962). His loosely structured, autobiographical works reflect a peripatetic life, with warm but stormy relationships and a deep social disillusionment assuaged by drugs, alcohol, mysticism, and biting humor.

You got some messed up audio. You can hear the line faintly before it comes. That used to mean track bleed from vinyl. Al sounds likes he's heavily influenced by Getz. Try Stan Getz's soundtrack to Mickey One. Astonishing.
