The Sage Fool (Mark Traphagen) reviews A TWIST OF THE WIT

Dylan Brody - Sunday, July 31, 2011

Mark Traphagen has reviewed A TWIST OF THE WIT in his League of Inveterate Poets blog.  Here's a taste: Dylan Brodyis to storytelling what John Coltrane is to jazz instrumentals. Just as Coltrane never just “played” a song, but made every note his own and shaped them into something new and unique, so Dylan Brody never just “tells” a story. He treats the very words like musical notes, shaping them, bending them, shifting cadence here, pausing deftly there, aptly applying alliteration, and always with a sense of beat (in both the metrical and poetic movement senses of that word). Dylan Brody stories, while I’m sure they would still be amusing written down, are meant to be heard. Brody’s 2011 live album A Twist of the Wit provides an excellent opportunity to hear the “purveyor of fine words and phrases” sing his word-songs. He is a humorist/storyteller in the Mark Twain/ George Ade tradition, but his delivery is what truly sets him apart. Read the rest of the review HERE
