Glommed torrents of Beat Jazz -- Pictures from the Gone World Vols. 1 & 2.

"Beat Jazz" is a out-of-print 20 track compilation of cool 50s style jazzy beat numbers. Kind of Beat era recordings from spoken word, to sung poetry, to bebop, to doo-wop, to R&B, to hipster and jive....
It was released on Pesky Serpent Records in 1994.

I was a beatnik-wannabe in my early teens, and one of my faves was Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Finally made a pilgrimmage in '67 to his City Lights bookshop in SF's North Beach on our way to the dying scene in Haight Ashbury. No LF on these recordings but there is a track of Bob Dorough reading 'Dog'. Found it on YT:
