JAZZ POETS SOCIETY TO PERFORM AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON - The Jazz Poets Society, a group that fuses the spoken 
word with live music, will perform at St. Lawrence University on 
Tuesday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m. in Gulick Theatre. The performance 
is open to the public, free of charge.
	The group began in 1993 in Richmond, Virginia, as a poetry 
collective performing in local clubs and cafes. Today, they are at 
the forefront of a new poetry movement, making an impact throughout 
the country as performers and recording artists.
	Jazz Poets Society's trademark is the unique flow of words 
over jazz-flavored funk, organic hip-hop and lounge music. The three 
poets and five musicians' work has been described as "a vibe of cool 
horns, thick beats and jazz poetry."
