Words become part of the band when Vince Robinson & The Jazz Poets take the stage.
Robinson formed The Jazz Poets in Cleveland in 1997, developing a performance language that puts spoken word and live music in the same conversation. The group became known through its Nia Coffeehouse performances, including a run at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Robinson is also the author of the poetry collection Got Words?
Their Cleveland jazz poetry set at The Sixty6 gives Sunday afternoon to the relationship between language, rhythm and improvisation. Come in, find a table and listen closely.
Help us make room for Cleveland artists whose work expands what a live music stage can hold. Support free programming at The Sixty6.
