Columbia University dropout Jack Kerouac was also there in the friendships that made up the Beat Generation. Despite the movement's diversity of style, experimentation and subject matter, Kerouac's auto-fictional book On the Road, with its jazz-inspired language and improvisatory writing style, became a testament to and textbook for the fifties subcultural and defined the Beats in the public imagination for generations. Accompanied by Steve Allen on the piano, Kerouac released Poetry for the Beat Generation in 1959 on Hanover Records.
