Ekayani & The Healing Band March 25
The beautiful and talented Ekayani and her healing band rocked the house on Sunday!! Good soulful music great stage presence and enthusiastic crowd made for another great night at the Lizard lounge yesterday.
Ekayani is from NY and is a good friend of mine. I am very glad she performed at the Lizard! She has supported the Trio on many occasions when we played in NYC so I am glad to repay her! She is off to Europe next month for a tour! GOOD LUCK!!
Tai won the slam yesterday with Jme coming in second. A good night overall and a lot of Lizard Lounge Lovin’ goin’ on. Next week we have Mwalim!!
Every Sunday with a Poetry Slam starting at 7:30pm and a Featured Poet and Open Mic accompanied by the Jeff Robinson Trio starting at 9:00pm - there’s a $5 cover and you must be 21 to enter the venue - Sultry red lights, intimate tables, and wooden church pews give this small room one of the best ambiances in town.

I think I will treat this as a sounding board blog with the blessings of the publisher, administrator, musician, poet, performer, web developer, historian, I like to think of him as the miles Davis, dizzy Gillespie of jazz fusion poetry….Jeff Robinson. Thank you for allowing a freedom of speech that is the bench mark of fusing jazz and poetry in the world.
I went to the dangerous divas benefit for Katrina it was great, lots of love the most beautiful women were there. Our own host Tai was there and she rocked with a second place win seventy five dollars, another regular A.C. competed also, she rocked the room in the first round with what part of every women I would I want, I’m paraphrasing here people. Joyce was in the competition she is so expressive, it’s awesome, give that girl a lapel mic, she would be an amazing performance movement artist just awesome. There was some serious competition. It was all women, which was nice, Excuse me for forgetting the first place winners name because I had to take off my hat on her first piece of the abortion clinic. I know I’ll never know what it feels like but I came as close as I could when she read her piece. the slam momma of the evening it was her first time she brought lots of energy. There were words of struggle, sacrifice, hope, fury and love through the night, I think I was one of maybe five guys that were in a room of about a hundred women gay and straight, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts it was heaven on earth. I couldn’t stay for the features of sonnie Peterson and stacy ann chin I hope I said that right my appoligies. I’m sorry I missed last couple of weeks features at the lizard it’s been packed you can’t get in there unless you get there early, take note of that for people who want to see the slam show and feature with the jr3 then bumping with poets reciting their pieces including myself. It’s most awesome. Well I’m back and wish everyone the best of luck for the finals peace out.
In the struggle, hope and fury
Peace, jazz and poetry
Many blessings joeY
