P.R. Smith – Hidden Drives: Live / Chants of a Ghost (CD, Album, Live Recording, 1999, Rainbow Fractures Music)

Why This CD Matters
Hidden Drives: Live / Chants of a Ghost blends improvisational jazz, spoken-word performance, and Shakespearean interpretation into a distinctive live recording. The album combines poetry, percussion, horns, and avant-garde arrangements recorded during live performances. Its regional significance and unconventional presentation make it an intriguing discovery for adventurous listeners.

Collector Note
1999 US independent release on Rainbow Fractures Music. Small-press Vermont jazz and spoken-word recordings from this era are seldom encountered and appeal to collectors of regional, experimental, and outsider music.
