“Grimm’s Hip Fairy Tales” As Dug by Don Morrow. Roulette Records. This notion of “updating” the classics (from Shakespeare to Fairy Tales to TV commercials, even the bible) with jive talk and hipster lingo was done numerous times by performers like Lord Buckley, Del Close and DJ Al “Jazzbo” Collins (Who also released a beatnik version of these familiar stories - “Grimm Fairy Tales for Hip Kids”.)

Jack Kerouac with jazz greats Zoot Sims and Al Cohn. (1958). His second album on Hanover after “Poems for a Beat Generation” on which he was accompanied by TV talk show host Steve Allen. Produced by Bob Thiele. Click on the back cover here and hopefully you can read the liner notes by Gilbert Millstein. Kerouac calls Zoot and Al “Holy Blakean babies” and says “Zoot and Al blow thoughtful, sweet metaphysical sorrows.” Kerouac actually sings on one cut with Zoot playing piano for the first time on record. Here’s one of the haikus: “In my winter cabinet/the fly has/died of old age” Beat that.
Track listing: American Haikus; Hard Hearted Old Farmer; The Last Hotel & Some Of The Dharma; Poems from the Unpublished Book of The Blues; Old Western Movies; Conclusion Of The Railroad Earth.
Hear some of this record HERE.
