The premise here is simple enough: Take ten of the baddest, most daring and creative poet - writers - performers from the new and old school and a dash of dynamic world jazz, put them together on a CD, and let the fireworks begin. Jazz Poetry Kafe: The BlackWords Compilation CD is here and it's the most eclectic collection of poetry, spoken work, acid jazz and world rhythms. The Jazz Poetry Kafe is Produced by BlackWords, a Washington-DC based Publisher and Producer of Black Poetry,
With rare vinyl appearances by Black Arts Poets-Haki R. Madhubuti and Sonia Sanchez, and riveting performances by Grand Slammin' Winner-Tonya Matthews, Prolific Writer-Tony Medina, and Phenomenal Jazz Band-Fertile Ground, Jazz Poetry Kafe captures at it's peak, the current movement of Black Literature and Performance.
Executive Produced by Kwame Alexander for BlackWords, the CD also contains live performances from 360 A Revolution of Black Poets, the historic festival of Black Poets which took place in September of 1998.
