JAZZ AND PROSE

I was listening to Beat writer Jack Kerouac's jazz and prose sessions. Most were recorded in late 1940s and 1950s. I was impressed with how he was incorporated his prose with the rhythm of jazz. Bebop was famous back then and Kerouac was absorbed with it.

Over the years I have seen prose and music incorporated into an artist's act. I have a new found respect for songwriters and consider them as part of the writing community.
