[Charlie Palau interview and reading] /

Recorded in Buffalo, N.Y. on February 22, 1986 for Spoken Arts Radio. Paul Hogan donated a copy of the recording made on a 60 minute BASF sound cassette.

Paul Hogan interviews Charlie Palau on the subject of Jack Kerouac and the writing of the Beat Generation. They discuss Kerouac's writing and its alignment with jazz music. Excerpts highlight the subject matter and are taken from a pre-recorded Kerouac reading. Kerouac reads his poems with the musical accompaniment of Steve Allen on piano and Zoot Sims on saxophone.
