The first mention of our CD, Thanamattapoeia. From France. Translation courtesy Flo Gouvrit.
This CD, that come to us directly from Ohio, allows us to discover the JazzPoetry Ensemble whose website is titled “Make Jazz, Not War!” We adhere! This group was born after 1985, following a request from Allen Ginsberg to Michael Vander Does (trombonist and poet). During this 2014 concert, they invited the New Orléans saxophonist Edward ” Kidd ” Jordan (born 1935) for a fairly free conversation around the texts performed by Michael Vander Does to boost the group’s musical dynamics. Spirit of jazz , you’re really there!
If you want to read it in French, there are links to the various albums at the top of the page. We’re way down, so the link will save you some trouble.
