“Something magical happens when we are in the same place at the same time.  Each one of us brings a distinct voice and expresses a unique perspective.  But our shared love of language and our respect for each other binds us together.  I think our positive energy is contagious.”   — Marcy B. Freedman, visual artist and co-producer of ON BEING  

 

Eri Yamamoto on piano:  
Ms. Yamamoto started playing piano at the age of three 
and started composing at the age of eight.  Since 
moving to New York City in 1996, she has established herself as one of the 
city’s most creative and original jazz musicians. 
 My hat’s off to her… already she’s found her own voice.”   Herbie Hancock 

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