Three-time U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky presents "Proverbs of Limbo.” It's poem jazz. It's a jazz concert. It's a poetry night. It's uniquely its own thing. Poetry, proverbs and percussion. The band will feature:
- Laurence Hobgood — music director and keyboardist
- Catherine Bent — cellist
- John Lockwood — bassist
- Stan Strickland — saxophonist, flutist and vocalist
- Mino Cinélu — special guest percussionist who performed and toured with Miles Davis, Sting, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and more
Louis Chude-Sokei, writer and director of the African American and Black diaspora studies program at Boston University, will deliver opening remarks. Copies of Pinsky’s companion album “Proverbs of Limbo," featuring musicians from this performance will be available for purchase.
