George Elliott Clarke is the Guest Host for Minstrels & Bards and will be presenting ‘5 Poets Breaking Into Song.’ A tranzac-transcendent evening of ten jazzy, operatic, arabesque, bluesy, funky and soulful poems set to music by commissioned composers performed by pianist Narmina Afandiyeva and vocalist USHA (Neoclassicism Don’t Scare Real Jazz Composers!).” Poets Allan Briesmaster, George Elliott Clarke, Brenda Clews, Luciano Iacobelli (1956-2022), A.F.
