The Nazz, a hipsemantic retelling of the life of Christ
Originally shared by Hadrian Micciche
Lord Buckley - The Nazz
" A most immaculately hip aristocrat, Lord Buckley was the epitome of comedy cool; a onetime vaudeville performer and a hulking ex-lumberjack, he was a comic philosopher, a bop monologuist whose vocalese fused the rhythms and patois of the street with the arch sophistication of the British upper crust to create verbal symphonies unparalleled in their intricacy and dexterity. A comedian who didn't tell jokes and a word-jazz virtuoso riffing madly on the English language, Buckley combined the frenetic intensity of Beat poetry with the lessons and moral heft of Biblical tales and historical discourse; holding court over the hipsters, flipsters, and finger-poppin' daddies of the postwar era, he was a true visionary, the original rapper.
The jive-speak word jazz that Buckley spins with his lightning-yet-liquid delivery is so jam-packed and rapid-fire that it takes a few listenings to catch everything --but it rewards the effort. Here is Buckley's legendary routine, The Nazz, a hipsemantic retelling of the life of Christ (the sweetest, gonest, wailinest cat that ever stomped on this sweet, swingin' sphere).

I'll have to wait until I get home from work tonight to listen to this but I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteGood morning - While your at it, you should probably check out the community. It's very eclectic and usually exhilarating. It's changed how I listen, what I listen too and even to some extent, how I post things. Have a great day and don't work too hard.
