RESPONSE: Notes of Discourse at Alphabet City - Northside - Jazz Poetry Month

Mihály Borbély returns for a second night of Jazz Poetry with a performance that honors the saxophone as the star of the show. He shares the stage with advocate and activist poets Cameron Awkward-Rich,Tabassam Shah, and City of Asylum writer-in-residence Anouar Rahmani. Together these artists embrace and expand the intricate discourse of notes and verse, eloquent and articulate in their response. Their collective dexterity and brilliance results in a conversation of sound and speech.
