************************

DAVID GONZALEZ:  This poetry-meets-Latin-jazz outing is rich, inspired and wonderfully evocative, delivering the best of the genres it touches while avoiding potholes common to spoken word and music efforts.
Gonzalez is approximately a Nuyorican Gill Scott-Heron but with his own distinctive voice and rythym.”
-- Martin Wisckol,
The Orange County Register

JOHN DIMARTINO:  "...one of the jazz scene's finest, a pianist who is just as comfortable with bop as he is with
Afro-Cuban rhythms and salsa..."  --
K. Leander Williams, Time Out New York

GOLDA SOLOMON:  "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

 PO’JAZZ at CORNELIA STREET is one big friendly party of good words, good sounds, and good food.”
-- Gladys Serrano, Mutable Music
