JAZZ POETRY NIGHTS LONDON

Monthly Jazz Poetry Nights continue to shine at London's Pangea Project .
Despite a sinister cold night, on Wednesday February 10th we kept the same vibe of diverse, unique acts:
1-Jazzman John Clarke (UK) : dynamic, lively, bebop motor-mouth
2- J.J.Adamson (Kenya): Marimba, percussion, guitar and vocals
2-Burnt Toast (Canada/ UK) : Urban London; hip hop, music and words

Burnt Toast: special

3- Ursula T (Germany)- International lady read from her three collections
4-Graham Pollock (UK) : Dry humour, subtle delivery; strong message.
A typical Pollock poem:
Christmas card people . . .
We used to phone
Each other regularly.
Then it became
Occasionally,
And then very
Occasionally . . .
After a while
Our only contact
Was a card
At Christmas.

I don’t bother now.
I just don’t
See
The
Point . . . .


5- Freddy Macha (Tanzania): Afro jazz and lyrics (Host and MC)

Jazz bassist
Andre Mathurin (St Lucia)


Suprise guests
Free Jazz Musicians (UK) : Tunes Under Fire : James Gilbert (Sax) and Doug Kinloch (Guitar).

Another special presence was local Stoke Newington Photographer David Green whose snaps on the night will hopefully find their way here...
