Music reviews of Dreamer: A Portrait of Langston Hughes

Music Review: JAZZ/POETRY/BLUES, AMERICA'S SPEARHEAD OF ARTISTIC FORM
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a fantastic collection of musical settings in the genre of jazz/blues/poetry. Langeston Hughes is without question one of the most gifted 20th century poets. His poetic works lends itself to the areas of jazz and blues as well as any artist has. He ranks for me anyway up there with the likes of Ginsberg, Kerouac, Ed Sanders and others of this genre and era for his unique contributions and trailblazing efforts in the arena of beat generation jazz, blues and poetry as a collective art form. The recitations and songs by the amazing artists on this record are simply stunning, along with the musicians/composers involved. Hughes work cuts right through the issues and moves and grooves straight to his statements. Listen to the collection titled Dreamer, music composed by Erik Santos. Other highlights for me are the Kurt Weill works Lonely House and Island, and Litany music by John Musto. Song cycles of stunning historical and artistic importance. The great tenor Darryl Taylor and the powerful recitation voice of William Warfield just take this body of work to another level. Five stars are not enough for this piece. Highly recommended. Check out my other reviews if you wish.
