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.

Where's the French-Canadian connection? Jack's mother was Canadian, and Kerouac was born Jean-Louis Kerouac. Just opens other musical doors, I guess. Awesome mix, as usual, Dom.

Nice mixture! (No "Beatnick Fly" by Johnny & The Hurricanes?!!) I didn't know he was a big Sinatra fan - it reminds me of the Dexys Midnight Runners lyric: "Keep quoting Cabaret, Berlin, Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Duchamp, Beauvoir,
Kerouac, Kierkegard, Michael Rennie, and I don't believe you really like Frank Sinatra."

Damn you! I just read On The Road for the first time and was planning a Jack Kerouac album. But, depite the fact that you got there ahead of me, I really love this album.

Fantastic Dom! Gotta have the bebop for this. Even though Route 66 show was a watered down version palatable for all the Beaver Cleaver households at the time (mine included), I have always loved the Route 66 theme song. Lalo Shiffrin? I forget.Also a snippet of someone (Ginsburg?) reading Howl might have been nice. Every time I am in SF I step into City Lights bookstore to pay homage. Are you producing cds yet? What can I send you for this? Steve
