Peace, Passion, The Word & The Wisdom - Family, I'm looking to bridge gaps & promote Poetic Expression. We are kindred spirits - let's build together - create and promote venues for Spoken Word Expression. I'm in DC, but my vision is g***** - I have pen and pad and I will travel - I'm seeking gigs, seminars, workshops, and more - Let's do The Write Thing!!

"Today"
The saddest thing that there has ever been
Is a gathering of old and bitter men
Telling tales of way back when
Remembering all of the things that they never did
To their graves they all will go
Wondering, regretting, but never to know
The word unspoken, the deed not done
Could very well have been the one
To place your star up in the sky
Something cowards dare not try
Why do you say; Tomorrow?
It could very well be too late
For your failed tomorrow
Might have been Today so great
Christopher "Poetry Man" Fields

Just released a CD with text by Yusef Komunyakaa. Did a piece with Willie Perdomo as well. Check them out. the stuff is beautiful.
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
