Ken Nordine - How Are Things In Your Town? (1971)




Here is a very nice out of print word jazz album from Ken Nordine. It is a collection of songs that were recorded between 1957 and 1960. If you're not familiar with Nordine or word jazz, I highly suggest checking this out. Very nice jazz music with Ken Nordine telling amusing anecdotes. If you've never heard "Colors" by Ken Nordine, I would suggest checking it out also.

This is so fantastic! Found it googling for Ken Nordine and you are the _only_ site that has a vinyl rip of this great word-jazz artist!!
I've got the original album as well.

Thanks sooo much.

The link is dead for the interview (in fact the site is now in godaddy as inactive). Any other place to get this? Thanks.
