Scott-Heron, Gil: Small Talk At 125th And Lenox (CD)

Small Talk At 125th And Lenox was the start of a 45-year recording career for Gil Scott-Heron. He became one of the best-loved and most respected artists of the late 20th Century, but never again released an album as simple and hard-hitting as this.

Recorded in 1970, Small Talk featured Gil and three percussionists performing his poetry, the rhythmic backdrop and the style of his delivery making it more than a spoken word record. Today it is seen as a classic that stands head and shoulders above similar albums recorded at the time.
