Gil Scott-Heron Small Talk At 125th And Lenox CD Album

Gil Scott‑Heron’s groundbreaking 1970 debut Small Talk at 125th and Lenox stands as one of the most important spoken‑word and proto‑rap recordings ever released. Captured in an intimate, raw, club‑style setting, the album pairs Scott‑Heron’s politically charged poetry with minimal percussion and street‑level immediacy. This 2015 reissue from the Flying Dutchman Jazz Classics series presents the album in clean stereo sound, preserving the urgency, humour and social critique that cemented Scott‑Heron as a defining voice of Black American protest art.
