Description:"The Poets Are Gathering" ist die dritte in einer Reihe von gefeierten Aufnahmen des Saxophonisten/Komponisten Benjamin Boone, die Musik und Gedichte von einigen der führenden amerikanischen Jazzmusiker und Poet-Preisträger, Guggenheim-Stipendiaten und Pulitzer-Preisträger integrieren. Wo die Bände "The Poetry of Jazz" die Stimme des verstorbenen US-Poet Laureate Philip Levine boten, sind hier unter anderem Tyehimba Jess, Juan Felipe Herrera, Patricia Smith, T.R. Hummer und Edward Hirsch sowie der Pianist Kenny Werner, der Gitarrist Ben Monder und der Schlagzeuger Ari Hoenig zu nennen. Diese Einspielung besitzt eine eindringliche, augenblickliche Kraft, da die Poesie auf die aufgewühlten, aufrührerischen Energien gegen Rassismus und andere gesellschaftliche �bel antwortet. Die Themen Einwanderung, Rassismus, Obdachlosigkeit, Armut, Missbrauch, Proteste und Krieg können überwältigend und erschütternd sein, aber durch die Stimmen einiger gro�er literarischer Köpfe der Welt gibt es Hinweise darauf, die Schläge aufzufangen, die Geister zu beschwören, den Moment zu ergreifen und, wie Tyehimba Jess vorschlägt, "das Schweigen zu ermorden", das uns unbeweglich zu machen droht, uns von den Gründen fernzuhalten, uns zu verpflichten, zu handeln, zu hoffen - und vor allem uns ein Bild zu machen. -
There are incantations and supplications to be found here. Also: elegies and headlines, howls and mantras, reveries and outbursts. They instruct and affirm. They urge you to dance while offering road maps to reflection. They rouse you from deep slumber and offer solace for your worst nightmares. - GENE SEYMOUR. "The Poets Are Gathering" is the third in a series of acclaimed recordings from saxophonist/composer Benjamin Boone that integrate the music & poems from some of America's leading jazz musicians and Poet Laureates, Guggenheim fellows and Pulitzer Prize winners. Where "The Poetry of Jazz" volumes offered the voice of the late U.S. Poet Laureate Philip Levine, here, notable contributors include Tyehimba Jess, Juan Felipe Herrera, Patricia Smith, T.R. Hummer, and Edward Hirsch, along with pianist Kenny Werner, guitarist Ben Monder and drummer Ari Hoenig, among many others. This recording possesses a visceral, in-the-moment force as the poetry responds to the roiling, insurgent energies against racism and other societal ills. The themes of immigration, racism, homelessness, poverty, abuse, protests, and war can overwhelm and distress, but through the voices of some of the world's great literary minds there are clues to be found to absorb the blows, summon the spirits, engage the moment and as Tyehimba Jess suggests, "murder the silence" that threatens to immobile us, to keep us away from the reasons to commit, to deal, to hope – and, above all, to imagine. "Boone knows where the thing called poetry lives, an ocelot among the waters, a sky-shaped Rain God that flares down upon us. He does this with a myriad of instruments, with human breath chiseling and burning through brass and string, reeds and skin and hands and resin." U.S. POET LAUREATE JUAN FELIPE HERRERA.
