A true pioneer, KENNETH NASH has performed with the likes of Herbie Hancock, BB King, Cannonball Adderley, Ahmad Jamal, Freddie Hubbard, John Lee Hooker, composed for the Joffrey Ballet, and authored a one-of-a-kind teaching concept that has taken him across the US, Europe, and South Pacific. Professor of World Cultures in Music at SF State, NEA Jazz Fellow and Senior Fulbright Scholar, HAFEZ MODIRZADEH's original cross-cultural concepts have been documented on dozens of recordings, including the upcoming "Post-Chromodal Out!" on Pi Records; his most recently published work appears in Critical Studies in Improvisation (http://www.criticalimprov.com/issue/view/127). Boston-based BILL LOWE makes a rare Bay Area appearance, revealing his brilliance for encompassing all genres that has led to work with Dizzy Gillespie, Eartha Kitt, Clark Terry, as well as Muhal Richard Abrams, Henry Threadgill, and Cecil Taylor. Lowe co-leads the Boston Jazz Repertory Orchestra and co-produces Boston’s annual John Coltrane Memorial Concert, mentoring countless young musicians along the way.

Cinco de Mayo Celebration: Voices of freedom The recently released anthology Occupy SF—poems from the movement is a powerfully diverse, intergenerational collection of poetry and art in the bold spirit of the Occupy movement. Unique and inspiring with a definitive San Francisco flare, the anthology has been garnishing high reviews for its humanistic call for social change. With over 70 poets and artists, including three former San Francisco poet laureates (Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Hirschman, and devorah major), as well as renowned activist poster artists Chuck Sperry, Ron Donovan, and Jon-Paul Bail, the book has powerfully captured the Occupy movement as it evolves and shifts. In celebration of Cinco de Mayo and freedom for all, contributing poets Francisco X. Alarcón, Rafael Jesús González, Neeli Cherkovski, Virginia Barrett (co-editor), Bobby Coleman (co-editor), Dottie Payne, and Gerardo Pacheco will read selected work from the anthology. Joining them will be special musical guest Gerardo Omar Marin on flute. Copies of the anthology will be available for purchase; all proceeds from sales benefit Occupy. Published by Jambu Press/Studio Saraswati, San Francisco.
