"A New Black Poet - Small Talk at 125th and Lenox", also known simply as "Small Talk at 125th and Lenox", is Gil Scott-Heron's debut album, first released in 1970 on Flying Dutchman Records. Recording sessions for the album were originally said to have taken place live at a New York nightclub located on the corner of 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, but liner notes included in the 2012 box set "The Revolution Begins: The Flying Dutchman Masters", Scott-Heron himself insists that a small audience was brought to 'the studio' and seated on 'folding chairs'. By the time of the recordings, Scott-Heron had published a volume of poetry and his first novel, 'The Vulture'. Well received by music critics who found Scott-Heron's material imaginative, "Small Talk at 125th and Lenox" has been described as "a volcanic upheaval of intellectualism and social critique" by Allmusic editor John Bush.
