Talented wordsmiths will be playing with words while talented musicians will join them up on stage at this one-of-a-kind event. Jazzslam, they’re calling it, which explains the concept beautifully – it’s a poetry slam fused with a jazz concert. Words will be arranged and delivered with rhythm, and the Jazz will fill in the gaps. Sounds like a damn inspiring night out, if you ask us… which you didn’t… so we’ll be quiet now. In this Monday’s edition, you’ll get to listen to poetry slam pro Yasmo and the Jazz trio Bauer.Schläger.Wurf.Berger.
