SPOKEN WORD: With Music, JAZZ: Acid Jazz



Details:
"The poet Richard Dedeaux -- of the Watts Prophets -- goes the Gil Scott-Heron route with a funky but thought provoking collection of jazz, soul and hip-hop. The ironic "Texas Boy" makes fun of macho stereotypes but most tracks have a darker-edged, socio-political agenda. Yep kids, they used to call rap "spoken word" and Dedeaux added his poetry to Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones albums long before you were born." - Listen.com (www.listen.com)
