Coney Island Revisited

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2003

I first heard a rendition of this album 1n 1969. I don't believe this is the original, but, that sort of, kind of well it seems like I was only temporarily I a tie salesman.
I would like to KnoW if this is really the original reading and backgound music. sooooo mr F. If you are out their let me know

Was very glad to still find an audio recording of this great collection of Ferlinghetti poems.

Not bad reading, terrible back-up

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2006

Although I'm an avid Amazon shopper, I don't write reviews. Mostly because I think a lot is covered in other reviews, or I'm pleased with the product. In this case, I think I have to intervene. I purchased this CD on the strength of the reviews, although I was skeptical when I heard who had composed the music. I should have gone with my first instinct.

F.'s reading isn't the best I've heard, but it's tolerable. Colley's accompaniment is horrible. A kind of fake-jazz, Kurt Cobain w/ W. Burroughs wanna-be noise that makes listening to the CD darned near impossible.

If you're interested in listening to the beats read their poetry, try to get something recorded when they were active. I have the Jack Kerouac box set from Verve and it's amazing, as are older recordings of Ginsberg. You might also want to check out Langston Hughs with the Mingus Band.

The music is supposed to complement the 'beat' of the poetry, either in the interstices or in the back ground. This music most certainly doesn't do that. Buyer beware.

The amusement park of memory

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2006

Ferlinghetti continues the great tradition of American spoken poetry. The use of jazz as an accompaniment is fairly recent idea though Vachel Lindsay had a go decades past with his Daniel Jazz poem using 'Dixie' and 'Alexander's Ragtime Band'. The use of jazz on this recording seems a bit hit and miss to me. It certainly seems to have been recorded as background rather than an equal to Ferlinghetti's reading. I'm quite happy with this as I basically bought the CD to hear his reading of 'A Coney Island of the Mind' and I'm certainly not disappointed. His voice is now wonderfully mature and he easily slips into different accents and word pronunciations.

Apart from the complete Coney Island the other five tracks offer an interesting mixture of poems from the book (ISBN 0811200418) 'Autobiography' is for some reason not complete (it ends about half way through) 'I am Waiting', 'Dog', 'Christ Climbed Down' and stanza twenty-five only from 'Pictures of the Gone World'.

Ferlinghetti reads the excellent 'Autobiography' and two of his other poems, 'The Statue of St. Francis' and 'Junkman's Obbligato' on a Fantasy CD 'Poetry Readings in the Cellar' (FCD 77172) recorded in 1957 with a jazz quintet and unlike the Coney recording they play their improvisations alternately with his reading.

Both CDs feature readings from a great American poet separated by more than fifty years yet to me his work still sounds lively and relevant.

The poet should leave the rading of his poetry to others

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2008

I dearly love A Coney Island.., but the poet doesn't read it very well. And the music obviously was recorded at another time and place, and is really a pain in the neck. Read the poems alound all by yourself. It would be much better. Or let me read it to you. 50svinyl
