Zam Zam Room archiveHis Royal Hipness, Lord Buckley. A big hearted, mystic, self-ennobled aristocrat who valorized and satirized the "great and the good" with the hip, egalitarian be-bop language of his "Church of the Living Swing". A man who lived in between the world of Jazz Greats such as Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk and Frank Sinatra, also a life-long friend of Ed Sullivan appearing on his show many times. Campaigning against the stupidity of racism in a segregated America, Buckley's vernacular was the ultimate word jazz and without him there would have been no Lenny Bruce, no Robin Williams, no Dick Gregory, no Richard Pryor. His death, in 1960, is shrouded in mystery, because of the draconian 'Cabaret Card' laws in NYC in the50s, which required performers to register with the police before they could be licensed to do their act. Anyone that the police found objectionable, for any reason could be silence.... Zam Zam Room website.
