Changing Colors: Big-band jazz and poetry featured Tuesday at Carson City's Comma Coffee
The Mile High Jazz Band with vocalist Jakki Ford will be joined by seven poets and readers for "Changing Colors," a lively evening of big-band jazz and poetry. The event will be on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30-9:30 p.m., in the courtyard adjacent to Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street.
In case of rain, the event will be inside Comma Coffee. Admission is $5, free for age 18 and under.
The poems, including some originals by the readers, will be read by Rita Geil, Ursula Carlson, Wayne Carlson, Krista Lukas, Susan Sara Priest, Timothy Rhodes, and Amy Roby. Each reading will be followed by a big-band tune that relates to the poem.
