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

KURT BROWN:  ”a poet who loves the world...with a clear eye” and who “has line breaks that will break your heart.”
-- author/novelist/poet Stephen Dobyns

ROSEMARY GEORGE:  Fill up the glass and light up the candles, Ms. Rosemary George is going to set you on a slide, a vocal ride of sass-back impeccable song.”  -- Pacifica Tribune, 2002, “Flirting with the Blues”

JOSEPH DIAMOND:  “Joseph Diamond makes music that makes you feel good and taunts your body to want to get up and dance…”  -- Morrice Blackwell, JazzReview.com

SACO YASUMA:  “Ms. Yasuma’s hallmark is taking the audience on a journey that is stimulated by surprising touches that keep the listener perked and alert for what is coming up next.”  -- The New Times Holler!

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
