{"product_id":"how","title":"How?","description":"\u003cp\u003eCo-founder of '70s\/'80s anarchist punk band Crass, activist, poet, novelist, painter and philosopher Penny Rimbaud has recorded a live recital of \u003ci\u003eHow?\u003c\/i\u003e, backed by jazz cellist Kate Shortt. \u003ci\u003eHow?\u003c\/i\u003e Is a reinterpretation of Allen Ginsberg’s classic 1954 poem \u003ci\u003eHowl \u003c\/i\u003ewherein Penny, like Ginsberg before him, seeks to challenge the establishment and encapsulate the righteous anger and frustrations of a generation. In January 2003, alongside a jazz quartet, Penny performed \u003ci\u003eHowl\u003c\/i\u003e as his first gig at London’s Vortex Jazz Club. Ginsberg’s poem was chosen because it had been seminal in Penny’s development as a writer and because it seemed so well suited to a jazz setting. After the show, he was asked to do a repeat performance as part of that year’s London Jazz Festival. After happily agreeing, he reached out to the copyright holders expecting the process to be a mere formality, but it wasn’t.
