Dissent!
On Wednesday, March 22, The Jazz Factory presents a FREE evening of Dissent Literature as part of its monthly series, Jazz & The Spoken Word. As always, the live readings will be accompanied by the jazz improvisation of bassist Brian Vinson and sax/flute player Jacob Duncan.
For this event, however, readers will read excerpts from classic dissent literature, ranging from the works of Kentuckians Thomas Merton and Hunter Thompson to those of Martin Luther King Jr., Kurt Vonnegut, Sojourner Truth, Carolyn Forche, Malcolm X, Adrienne Rich, William Stafford, Virginia Woolf, Audre Lorde, Frederick Douglas and that illustrious dissenter of the Hebrew Scriptures, Job. There will be two sets of readings, the first beginning at 7:30 pm.
More information can be found by following the link. Admission to the readings is FREE but reservations are recommended. The Jazz Factory is on the lower level of The Glassworks Building, 815 W. Market St. Free parking is available after 5 pm in the parking lot directly across the street. Call 502.992.3242 or online at www.jazzfactory.us
I am not involved in the Dissent! reading, though some great Louisville area writers are. However, I am reading on the 23rd at the Morrison Gallery at Elizabethtown Community College. I will try to slip a little dissent into the mix.
