Guest-artist curator, multi instrumentalist JD Parran is bringing together stellar artists July 1st through July 15th, who include Marty Ehrlich, Mark Deutsch, Kelvyn Bell, Michael Attias, Adam Rudolph, Oliver Lake, Golda Solomon and more.
Golda Solomon, the medicine woman of jazz, is a professor of communications, a poet, performer, producer, and docent; a supporter of women musicians as well as young musicians, poets, and performers. She was project director of Po’Jazz at The Hudson Valley Writers’ Center for four years before bringing the series to The Cornelia Street Café in 2003. Golda has pioneered several unique businesses including JazzJaunts, a personalized jazz service, and, with Barbara Sfraga, ICAAN (Interactive Communication and Arts Network), which provides innovative, on-site, organization-specific arts programming to workplaces, schools, and other organizations. She is currently conducting “From Page to Performance” workshops for emerging poets and “ready to come out of the closet” writers. Golda has a collection of poetry, Flatbush Cowgirl, published in 1999, for which she co-produced a companion CD, First Set, and a second CD of her poetry, Word Riffs. Her latest collection is Never More Than a Borough Away, Brooklyn Bops (Clique Calm Books). She also co-produced the CD Takin’ It To The Hollow. She is an active member and presenter for IAJE (International Women in Jazz). As an IWJ awardee, she was part of the week-long 40th anniversary celebration of All Nite Soul at St. Peter’s, the “Jazz Church” in midtown Manhattan. She also participated in the First Women In Jazz Festival at St. Peter’s Church in the spring 2007, The First Bay Area Jazz Poetry Festival in Berkeley, CA in the spring 2007 and Potter’s House in Washington DC 2007.
…a compendium of ideas, phrases and fragments of the Truth; we know it is so because her words and the force of her emotions resonate within...When one feels compelled to experience the Truth, one returns to Golda’s Blues. Because of the inspiration, imagination, and illumination of her art of syncopated improvisation, one is exalted.
~ Lawrence Holder, Playwright, Monk
An insightful observer of the scene and narrator of a thousand hipper yesterdays, Golda Solomon lays it all out with streetwise authority on Word Riffs.
~ Bill Milkowski, Author and Jazz Journalist
Poet Solomon…Think of it as Jack Kerouac revisiting the Mile High City and grabbing a sandwich at the New York Deli while in town.
~ Norman Provizer, Rocky Mountain News
