Word Jazz
It is a matter of debate whether Ken Nordines Word Jazz album (and its sequels) should be categorised as comedy, jazz or popular, or perhaps put into a category all of its own. Either way, Word Jazz is certainly unique; a mix of Ken narrating over cool jazz from the Chico Hamilton jazz group, who are billed as the Fred Katz group for the purposes of this album. The overall effect has been described as akin to a radio announcer performing beat poetry, which is probably as close a description as you are likely to get.
