AMG:
"On this CD, Mark Murphy sings music that he thinks writer Jack Kerouac would have liked in addition to reading excerpts from two of the novelist's works and recreating a classic comedy routine by Lord Buckley. Among the songs Murphy performs (with the assistance of pianist Bill Mays, Steve LaSpina or John Goldsby on bass and drummer Adam Nussbaum) are a painfully slow and highly expressive version of Billy Strayhorn's 'Blood Count,' Richie Cole's tribute to Eddie Jefferson, a vocalese rendition of 'Take The 'A' Train,' the classic Thelonious Monk ballad 'Ask Me Now,' a descriptive 'Lazy Afternoon' and a ballad medley. However it is Mark Murphy's narratives that make this set most unique and memorable."
