A unique subgenre, the history of jazz poetry runs parallel to the musical movement, in which jazz and it's artists serve as a muse for the authors. This collection of New Jazz Poets represents the evolution of this art form after several decades of it's practice and includes celebrated poets Ishmael Reed, Peter La Farge, Joel Oppenheimer and Paul Blackburn, who are each capable of making jazz heard by using words alone.
