The Inside Songs of Amiri Baraka examines the full length of
Baraka's discography as a poet recording with musicians as well as
his contributions to jazz and R & B, beginning with his
earliest studio recordings in 1965 and continuing to the last year
of his life, 2014. This recorded history traces his evolution from
the era of Beat poetry and "projective verse," through the period
of the Black Arts Movement and cultural nationalism, and on to his
commitments to "third world Marxism," which characterized the last
decades of his life. The music enfolding Baraka's recitations
ranges from traditional African drumming, to doo wop, rhythm and
blues, soul and the avant garde jazz that was his great love and
the subject of so much of his writing, and includes both in-studio
sessions and live concert performances. This body of work offers a
rare opportunity to think about not only jazz/poetry, but the poet
in the recording studio and the relations of text to score.
