WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
The Black Renaissance and its related movements may never befully comprehended if the work of the Last Poets does not hold animportant place in one's discography. The sensational self-titled1970 debut album (GET8005) and its follow up This Is Madness(GET8009) come full circle with our re-release of the Poets'soundtrack to Herbert Danska's 1971 movie Right On!, anexample of poetry in motion through the multiple verbal attacksby this ensemble of African American musicians / protesters. Danska was awarded theChoice Of Directors prize at the 1971 Cannes film Festival and his work hinges on "thebeginning of new movies, where Black and Third World art is going" (from the original LP'sliner notes by Imamu Baraka aka LeRoi Jones, one of the sharpest poets of the Blackcultural revolution). This album continues the Poets' deep research in music, so original andunique that it became known as "jazzoetry" for its well rounded way of conjugating bothmusical and lyric disciplines.Track listing: Side A: 1.
