This is a group that is rapidly evolving and so different each and every time. Hope we get another chance to see these poets and musicians perform somewhere again in the Rivertowns soon! The Hudson Valley Writers Center is always so inviting, a room characterized by warm wood and sturdy stone, plus the loud train always coming by. It's really a wonderful place for the imagination! Here are two short videos of the Jazz and Poetry Choir Collective that will give you a taste of this innovative effort to combine group poetry and jazz music improvisation. One video is a short Q & A about process. The other video is a snipet from one of the pieces. Personnel:
