As part of the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, Jazz Haven presents " Jazz And The Spoken Word," an experience in the rhythmic world of “spoken word artists,” floating over the sounds of a live jazz trio, reflecting the culture of Jazz in America.
The free event will feature master musicians Jesse Hameen II, on drums, Jeff Fuller, on bass, and pianist Darren Litzie. Spoken-word artists Kate Rushin, Giacomo Gates, Craig O’Connell, Frank Cochran, Stanley Welch and others will perform original works and famous jazz poetry to the trio’s swinging grooves.
The event will take place at the New Haven Museum, 114 Whitney Avenue, New Haven on Friday, June 14 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
The event is also an open invitation to the spoken-word community to participate in this unique art form.
“Jazz and The Spoken Word” is an important component of Jazz Haven’s mission to explore the full breadth of the culture of jazz in New Haven this summer, bringing together poets, musicians, photographers, painters and other artists whose works are influenced by the jazz experience in America.
