Keeping alive the tradition of the Beats, saxophonist and composer Kevin Flanagan (Riprap) will be leading a poetry and jazz slam with a three piece rhythm section and special guests: jazz / rap poet Ronnie McGrath, beat poet John Robert Clarke and acclaimed pianist Dave Gordon.

Whether your jazz poetry inspiration comes from Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Bob Kaufman, LeRoi Jones / Amiri Baraka or the founding father of rap, Gil Scott-Heron: bring some poetry of your own, your voice, charts, instrument or just come along and watch.
