DESCRIPTION:
Greetings friends. On Thursday, July 21 at 8 p.m. I?m pleased to announce that 33 1/3 and its community will be blessed by a very special presentation from Kamau Da?ood who has a new poetry book on City Lights called The Language of Saxophones. A long-awaited collection from a pioneer of the spoken word movement, these poems soar and sway with the syncopation and melodies of jazz. Portraits, chronicles, incantations and invocations, drawn from a lifetime of prolific activity. If you haven?t had the opportunity to witness a reading by this legend in our midst, this event is not to be missed.

Kamau Da?ood has a long history of cultural work in the Los Angeles area. Born and raised in L.A., he developed his literary skills as a young member of the Watts Writers Workshop. His tenure in the Pan African People?s Arkestra, under the direction of jazz pianist Horace Tapscott, helped to shape his bebop-flavored poetics. In 1989 he and master jazz drummer Billy Higgins founded the World Stage, a storefront performance gallery that became a creative epicenter for the transformation of a neighborhood?Leimert Park?into a hub of African American cultural activity.

"There are prophets among us and Kamau Da?ood is one of them. His poems are psalms. His language shimmers, raging against injustice and racism, yet held in tender balance. His images are iridescent and deep with river song. His art is an abiding love for the world. His genius is that he believes it. After you are blessed by this book, you too will believe." ? Chris Abani, author of GraceLand and Dog
