I really like the writings of Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs. I especially like Jack Kerouac's CDs with Steve Allen, Al Cohn, and Zoot Simms. I then recently discovered Steven Jesse Bernstein's CD "Prison," which is great.

Anyone else listen/read to this stuff? I found some examples on Youtube if you're unfamiliar:
