Search - Various :: Beat Generation Jazz

November 1945, World War 2 is over and life in the USA appears to be returning to normal. But normality doesn't reign everywhere. A musical revolution is beginning that will eventually sow the seeds for a larger literary movement which will permeate every strata of American society: it will ultimately change thinking, behaviour and social mores across the world. The history of bebop and the Beat Movement are inextricably intertwined and this collection of poetry & prose together with tracks from jazz musicians from the 40s, 50s and early 60s reflect the powerful influence of the Beat Movement.
