| | Ken Nordine Colors CD Ken Nordine Discography of CDs
COLORS is a reissue of the 1967 album on which word jazz master Ken Nordine creates whimsical verbal images of 34 different colors over a backdrop of improvised jazz. It contains 10 bonus tracks (i.e., 10 bonus colors) not included in the original release.
A truly unique concept album, Ken Nordine's COLORS finds the deep-voiced poet/vocalist evoking various hues with a series of short, jazzy tunes. From the stately "Green" to the slinky "Purple" to the lively "Crimson," this late-1960s outing reverberates with a giddy sense of wit and creativity. A bright array of Nordine's signature "word jazz" pieces, COLORS is highly recommended for fans of the eccentric yet always inviting performer. (Note: The 2000 reissue features 10 bonus tracks.)

Re-IssueAlternative Press (1/96, p.114) - "...Nordine's backed by some crack, improvising musicians who create perfect moods for his words, alternately as whimsical as Esquivel or as somberly cool as Miles Davis, while hitting many points in between....mostly....funny and thoughtful..."

Colors songs
$11.59 WINK is the only one of Ken Nordine's albums on which he's speaking someone else's words. Instead of his own surreal brand of "word jazz," WINK is a reading of the 34 brief poems from Robert Shure's chapbook TWINK, originally published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights Press in 1958. (Upon its original 1967 release, this record was also called TWINK, but when the album was reissued by Asphodel on CD in 2003, the title was amended.) Shure's poems were written as interior dialogues, and that's how Nordine performs them, with his voice split between the two stereo channels--normal on the left, echoing and reverb-soaked on the right.

$10.29 With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping ...

| | Paul Simon Songs From The Capeman CD (1997)
Colors music CDs
$26.79 This is a collection of songs written by Paul Simon and Derek Walcott for their Broadway Musical, "The Capeman."
When Paul Simon released GRACELAND, it seemed like the apex of an already impressive career. A few years later, he compounded expectations by extending both his reach and his grasp with the Brazilian-tinged RHYTHM OF THE SAINTS. Continuing his tradition of raising the aesthetic bar, Simon explores new vistas yet again with SONGS FROM THE CAPEMAN. The album features his versions of the songs he wrote with poet Derek Walcott for the play THE CAPEMAN.
Based on the exploits of a street gang character of the same name, THE CAPEMAN incorporates several different musical styles into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts (a method to which Simon is no stranger). In the songs that make up the bulk of the storyline, there's street-corner doowop (one of Simon's early loves), Latin music and of course the sophisticated harmonic sensibilities that mark THE CAPEMAN indelibly as a Paul Simon project.
Recorded at The Hit Factory, New York, New York.
