Jazz Musicians

Even though many of these musicians are fine singers, they have chosen to
define themselves as primarily a musician. So on these listings you
should expect to find musicians who may or may not also sing.

Movement/Dancers
|
| |
Dance and movement expressive of the spirit of jazz
has evolved in many directions -- few of which are labeled as jazz
dance. It would be a shame to define jazz dance and movement
by the limited marketing concepts of weekend dance factories from the
1960s. So we don't.

| Jazz Poets |
| |
Some folks like to define jazz poetry as poetry that "demonstrates
jazz-like rhythm or the feel of improvisation." This limits the
definition to form. Since the form
of jazz and the form of jazz poetry is constantly evolving (or at least we
should hope it is) it would be better to define jazz poetry as poetry that
"aligns itself with the intention or spirit of jazz." |
