Comment:

Anyone who knows Kerouac will need no explanations to the choices I made. Jazz being a primary influence on Kerouac’s style. Born 1922, Lowell, Massachusetts. Died 1969.
On The Road published 1957
Kerouac debated suing the Producers of Route 66 for stealing much of the plot & situations from On The Road. He also didn't like the fist fights that Buz and Tod got into.
Kerouac was a big fan of Sinatra.
Johnny Staccatto was a Jazz Pianist who took on detection for extra bread,
‘…what Johnny had and still has most of all is hipness. Real hipness. Beat hipness. Jack Kerouac hipness exemplified by a guy in a suit. ‘ (Ed Gorman)
The Subterraneans was and is (?) the only Kerouac novel transferred to the big screen and starred George Peppard & Leslie Caron. ‘ Entirely misses the point of Beat Philosophy…it does at least offer an evocative atmosphere, along with a generous helping of Jazz…’ (Radio Times Guide To Movies)
The Beat Girl offered early roles to Oliver Reed (thug) & Christopher Lee (sleazy strip club owner)…an anglo interpretation of Beatnik - Adam Faith in leather jacket & obligatory stripey t-shirt, speaking hip jive with a cockney accent and lazily strumming his guitar. It did, however, feature a superb score by John Barry.
