‘SON OF WORD JAZZ’ FEATURING KEN NORDINE AND THE FRED KATZ GROUP 1958 LONDON LTZ - D15145 VINYL LP
Sleeve Condition: Near Mint, beautifully kept, clean, bright and unmarked. Free from any kind of writing, marking or stickers.
Record Condition: Ex+ to Near Mint. A couple of barely perceptible, wispy handling marks on Side 2 is all that prevent a Near Mint grading. The record plays perfectly and has obviously very, very rarely played. The record plays perfectly throughout without interference, crackle or aural imperfection. A very, very fine example of this rare record.
When voice-over master Ken Nordine released his first Word Jazz album, it created enough of a stir to justify a small string of sequels. This second release in the series (aptly titled Son of Word Jazz) hit just one year later. The formula this time out is pretty much the same, with Nordine delivering poetry over top of jazzy backing by the Fred Katz Group. Though not every track hits the spot, the really great tracks included on Son of Word Jazz make it more than worth while.
"Down the Drain" starts slowly but becomes an interesting thought piece in which you ooze down through the drain at the bottom of your tub and wind up emerging in the Caribbean. "Miss Cone" is a very clever piece about the geometry of love (and falling in love with someone who doesn't like the shape you're in). Strangest of all is the extremely upbeat "I Used to Think My Right Hand Was Uglier Than My Left," a riff on (of all things) self-mutilation.
I am also listing the first release of ‘Word Jazz’, original London LP.
