This is an unusual recording. Singer Mark Murphy teams up with a fine sextet (featuring altoist Richie Cole and guitarist Bruce Forman) and alternating bop standards with readings from Jack Kerouac books. Since Kerouac was a big jazz fan in the 1950s and his interest in the music influenced the rhythms of his writing, this 'poetry and jazz' set works surprisingly well. It also helps that Mark Murphy is heard at the peak of his powers.~Scott Yanow
