about

THE JAZZ POEMS have no fixed text, only a theme and a general concept. This means that in contrast to conventional poetry, these poems exist only in performance, where much of them is to be improvised, and that the poems are always different every time they’re recited. Just as with jazz, what you hear on this CD is not the definitive version, just one of many.

Each of poems is a brief portrait of a famous jazz musician, using elements from their music, song lyrics or things they said.

Thus they’re ‘jazz poems’ in more than just one sense of the term: they are about jazz, and they are jazz.

The album was first released in 2008 as a limited edition CD.
