Po'Jazz
...at the Center
Fall 2001
Po'Jazz is an innovative partnership of poetry and jazz, now in its third year at The Hudson Valley Writers' Center. Founder, creator, poet and project director Golda Solomon has combined her two passions to create an energetic program that features established and emerging poets sharing the stage with a small group of jazz musicians, blending the spoken word and improvised instrumentation.
