PO' JAZZ: Combining poetry with the smooth sounds of jazz

Po' Jazz is an innovative partnership of poetry and jazz created by Golda Solomon, who has combined her two passions to create an energetic program featuring established and emerging poets sharing the stage with a small group of jazz musicians, blending the spoken work and improvised instrumentation.
