Jayne Cortez: A Dialogue between Voice & Drums

October 23, 2010 @ 7:00 pm 9:00 pm EDT

A fire-spitting evening with drummer Denardo Coleman, featuring a voice celebrated for its political, surrealistic, dynamic innovations in lyricism, and visceral sound. Cortez’s work has been translated into twenty-eight languages, and include the books of poetry Somewhere in Advance of Nowhere, Coagulations: New and Selected Poems, Poetic Magnetic, Firespitter, Mouth on Paper, Scarifications, and Pissstained Stairs and the Monkey Man’s Wares. Cortez’s literary work and impassioned activism inspired by the ideals of human dignity and social justice have been called blues poetics, part of the foundation of hip hop and performance poetry. Denardo Coleman is a musician, composer, producer and drummer with the Ornette Coleman Quartet.
