Title: Reissue Bop for Kerouac
Review: This is a solid introduction to the bop brilliance of Mark Murphy. If you want to hear the origins of folks like Kurt Elling (especially his take on the John Coltrane song on the album Man In The Air), check this out.However, it's a shame that we have to make do with this CD instead of the Bop For Kerouac first take of a few years before this. The combination/interaction/integration of poetry and music are wonderful. And no one has demonstrated a better understanding of the two together than Mark Murphy.I have the LP version of Bop for Kerouac that is almost worn through due to frequent playings. Here's hoping for recognition of the better of these two discs and a reissue.
