Released in 1971, Pieces of a Man is the acclaimed debut studio album by American soul artist and jazz poet Gil Scott-Heron. Produced by Bob Thiele and released on Flying Dutchman Records, the album represents a major evolution in Scott-Heron’s artistry, moving beyond the spoken-word approach of his early performances toward a more structured blend of soul, jazz, and poetic songwriting.
