Selected Clips: What's Gone Is Gone Robert Creeley is one of America's greatest living poets, he was the link between the Beat poets of Greenwich Village and those of Black Mountain college. At Black Mountain, in 1954, he helped to define an emerging counter-tradition to the literary establishment. Creeley has long acknowledged the influence of jazz and improvised music in his work, and in fact considers himself a musician in these contexts. His work was the source of inspiration for Home, the 1980 ECM album in which Swallow set Creeley's words to music sung by Sheila Jordan. |
The Way Out Is Via The Door The Way Out Is Via The Door is a beautifully realized recording of intimate, creative jazz conversation. Placing all three voices as equals and allowing the lines created to weave together and apart at will, floating over sound-wash cushions and spontaneous tension-release statements. Creeley's poetry is sophisticated like fine silk with an edge that cuts to the soul. And when combined with a trio of this caliber, you have a recording of startling intimacy that rarely comes along in these days. Comes with our highest recommendation. 14 tracks in 56:32 minutes :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala You might also enjoy listening to: Identity Papers (Jeffrey Ethan Lee) I Thought It Was The End of The World Then...
