A poem penned
spontaneously at this specially recorded event asks: "What is
a poem supposed to do?" In a unique and unscripted
presentation, jazz and poetry in dialogue with one another search
out questions both big and small.
Join jazz
pianist Cyrus Chestnut together with poets Kyle Dargan
and Lenard D. Moore for an intimate improvisation on
words and music. Together they explore the magic that materializes
when artists collaborate.
Filmed in HD at the
Arts Club of Washington, this 70-minute program includes 60 minutes
of music and poetry followed by a conversation with the artists.
Stream this unique collaboration today through June 30.
