PEN American Center presents
Jazz: The Revolution Of Beat
Saturday, May 02, 2009

Jayne Cortez, Gary Giddins, Bill Zavatsky, and Diane Moser Quintet. Moderated by composer Carman Moore.

Length: 1 hr 30 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.

Combining sounds of popular music with those of the street and the bayous, jazz changed not only music, but other art forms which borrowed its phrasing, rhythm, structure and aesthetics. Four American writers, including legendary jazz critic Gary Giddins, American poet Bill Zavatsky, and guests explore the birth and life so far of jazz and how it relates to the written word. And, of course, there will be musical
accompaniment by the Diane Moser Quintet.
