Few poets explore sound and words as creatively and within music as TRACIE MORRIS, a multi-disciplined poet, performance artist, and founding member of the renowned Nuyorican Poets and the Black Rock Coalition.
MARVIN SEWELL most recently served as vocalist Cassandra Wilson’s guitarist and music director.
Percussionist and turntabalist VAL JEANTY defines her musical approach as “Afro Electronica”, in which she uses technology to transport listeners into dreamlike expressions of Afro, Creole and electronics.
