“TALES OF MANHATTAN : THE COOL PHILOSOPHY OF BABS GONZALES” WERE GRITTY
AND STREETWISE. HEARD THESE DAYS, WHEN WE KNOW JUST HOW ON-THE-EDGE SOME
NEW YORK BEATS WERE, IT SOUNDS A LITTLE INNOCUOUS AND CONTRIVED. TAKEN AS
A TIMEPIECE, HOWEVER, GONZALES’ DEFTLY RHYTHMIC, LILTING SPOKEN POEMS-FABLES
HAVE THEIR DATED CHARMS. EVEN IF THEY STEER WELL CLEAR OF SLICE-OF-LIFE INSIGHT,
THE GOOD-NATURED SEMI-SERMONIZING ON MAKING CONNECTIONS, TALKING UP CHICKS,
HANGING OUT ON BROADWAY IN THE WEE HOURS, AND STRETCHING OUT YOUR DOLLAR
TO SUSTAIN YOUR SEMI-BOHEMIAN LIFESTYLE DO CAPTURE SOMETHING OF THE SUNNIER
SIDE OF THE 1950s NEW YORK HIPSTER WORLD...
ORIGINAL 1959 MONO ISSUE. COVER HAS SOME SOLING ON BACK AND STAPLE MARK AT
LOWER SIDE. THE DEEP GROOVE RECORD IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH FULL LUSTRE ON THE
GREAT SHAPE WITH FULL LUSTRE ON THE PLAYING FIELD SHOWING COUPLE OF HAIRLINES.
... STRONG LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
