This recorded history traces his evolution from the era of Beat poetry and "projective verse," through the period of the Black Arts Movement and cultural nationalism, and on to his commitments to "third world Marxism," which characterized the last decades of his life. The music enfolding Baraka's recitations ranges from traditional African drumming, to doo wop, rhythm and blues, soul and the avant garde jazz that was his great love and the subject of so much of his writing, and includes both in-studio sessions and live concert performances. This body of work offers a rare opportunity to think about not only jazz/poetry, but the poet in the recording studio and the relations of text to score. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Music and Literature,$x2946-5141 606 $aPoetry 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aMusic 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aCulture 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aMusic 606 $aAfrican American Culture 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aMusic. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aMusic. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 676 $a780.08 676 $a818.5409 700 $aNielsen$b Aldon Lynn$0954494 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488721503321 996 $aThe Inside Songs of Amiri Baraka$92158896 997 $aUNINA
