Audio Masterworks, 1956. Very Good ... $9.99
A very weird little record – hardly the kind of "informative" album that you'd guess from the cover and liner notes, and really just a great live recording by Murray Banks – who's got an approach here that's a fair bit like Lenny Bruce! Banks tells it like it is on a variety ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Black Forum/Motown, 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
An amazing record that's as powerful as the political message of the title – the hippest record ever cut by Amiri Baraka, and that's saying a heck of a lot! Baraka delivers a long and complex set of poetic reflections on the state of Black America, spiritual awakening, and political ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Leonard Bernstein —
What Is Jazz? ... LP Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Hilarious! Always one to try to prove that he wasn't just a stodgy uptowner, Leonard Bernstein cut this album as a "guide to jazz" – featuring narration by Mr. B himself, plus playing by Miles Davis, Buck Clayton, Teo Macero, and Louis Armstrong. The record traces the evolution of ... (Jazz, Spoken Word) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Black Forum/Motown, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99 24.99
A very unusual musical moment in Motown – a set that was issued by their Black Forum label, and which was the second of two albums that Elain Brown recorded while part of the Black Panther Party!

International Anthem/Don Giovanni, 2017. New Copy ... $18.99 23.99
A fantastic mix of jazz and spoken word performance – delivered in a very righteous style that takes us back to the best vintage sides by artists like Wanda Robinson or Jayne Cortez! The words here are by Camae Ayewa – whose lyrics are as politically powerful as her presentation style ... (Jazz, Spoken Word) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Theatre For The Evolving Arts, Late 70s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $6.99

Lightnin' Rod —
Hustlers Convention ... LP Celluloid, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Fantastic stuff – incredibly hard and incredibly funky, and a masterpiece all the way through! Long before there was any talk of gangster rap, Jalal of the Last Poets recorded this album of gamblin', pimpin', and hard double dealin'.

Something Weird/Modern Harmonic, Late 60s. New Copy ... $14.99 24.99
Freaked out sounds from a movie that offers up a look at the struggles of youth at the end of the 60s – a movie that was recorded "on the scene where the action is – presenting 500,000 young Americans doing their own thing!"

Ishmael Reed & Others —
Conjure – Music For The Texts Of Ishmael Reed ... LP American Clave, 1987. Very Good ... $5.99
A pretty interesting album – one in which a host of jazz and rock players pay set music to texts written by consciousness-raiser/sci-fi author Ishmael Reed. There's a few goofy moments on the set, but if you've read Reed's work, you'll also know that goofiness and oddity are part of the ... (Jazz, Spoken Word) read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of THE spoken word classics of the 70s funk years – an amazing album based around the poetry of Camille Yarbrough – set to some amazing funky backings!

A fascinating little record – and one of the oddest releases ever issued by Folkways Records!
