Evolution (And Flashback): The Very Best of Gil Scott-Heron in Bloomington, MN

Evolution (And Flashback): The Very Best of Gill Scott-Heron
is a compilation of work from 1970-1972 that finds the master of
jazz
poetry
at his most militant. While the vitality of his approach on
"Whitey on the Moon,"
"Get Out of the Ghetto Blues,"
and the title track is undeniable, the disc is really notable because it clearly displays the role
Gil Scott-Heron
played in developing the
rap
aesthetic. ~ Tim Sheridan
