Release Notes:
--------
Although best known in some circles for writing Steve Miller's hit song "Space
Cowboy," jazz and rock pianist, producer, singer and composer Ben Sidran is more
widely recognized as the host of NPR's landmark jazz series Jazz Alive and
VH-1's New Visions series. Here, he addresses a semi-mythical figure in American
pop culture: the hipster. Decades before the term was used to describe young
cats in small hats, it was used during Prohibition to describe a denizen of the
night who arrived at the club with a flask in his back pocket. Hence "I'm hip"
meant "I'm carrying." But it soon came to mean much more than that. Jazz,
poetry, black threads and berets might have been outward manifestations of the
phenomenon during the beatnik craze of the 50s, but they were no more the
essence of the movement than the uniform is to the player. And it was a well
known fact among hipsters that anybody who self-identified as a hipster was, by
definition, not one.
