Michel Corringe - Kerouac Jack

Review by Adrian Seet

Michel Corringe's album Kerouac Jack is a tribute to the legendary writer and poet Jack Kerouac. The album is a fusion of jazz and spoken word, with Corringe's saxophone playing providing the perfect backdrop for Kerouac's poetry.

The album opens with "On the Road," a classic Kerouac poem that captures the spirit of the Beat Generation. Corringe's saxophone playing is smooth and soulful, evoking the feeling of driving down an endless highway.

The album also features some of Kerouac's lesser-known works, such as "The Subterraneans" and "Mexico City Blues." Corringe's saxophone playing is particularly impressive on "Mexico City Blues," where he creates a haunting, otherworldly sound that perfectly complements Kerouac's surreal poetry.

Summary by Adrian Seet

Kerouac Jack is a beautifully crafted album that pays homage to one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Michel Corringe's saxophone playing is sublime, and his interpretation of Kerouac's poetry is both respectful and innovative. Fans of Kerouac and jazz music alike will find much to love in this album.
