SUMMARY:The Suppression of Sound
DESCRIPTION:  \nAn Evening of Poetry and Music\n  \n  \nAn evening of poetry and sound by Thomas Sayers Ellis and saxophonist James Brandon Lewis. This eclectic duo has been performing together for nearly two years and was recently given the thumbs up by poet Amiri Baraka (for their mixture of free Jazz\, GoGo\, Be Hip Bop Hop and deep Groove) when they opened for him in New York City. The combination of Mr. Ellis’s bold\, lyric activism and meditations on race and American culture are pushed and purposely punished by Mr. Lewis’s muscular and exhaustive tenor. A highlight of the performance is Mr. Dynamite Splits\, a searing tribute to the Godfather of Soul\, James Brown. \n  \nThomas Sayers Ellis – poet\nJames Brandon Lewis – saxophonist\nRaina J.
