Title: Jazz and Poetry Collaberation
Product review: This recording cannot be dismissed as a "rap" record. In fact, it is more in the tradition of jazz and poetry collaberations pioneered by Charles Mingus--his Scenes in the City, the Clown, Freedom, Don't Let It Happen Here, and Weary Blues. The heart of the recording is, however, not the words, but the music of Vijay Iyer, whose composition and playing here can only be described as brilliant. This record is proof that there are still innovators in jazz.
