Don’t forget to join us this Saturday (August 15th) for the Businesses Without Buildings Showcase! Check our events calendar for more details.

Join us for an afternoon of jazz poetry including original works by living poets and tributes to predecessors.

Each poet will choose a spontaneous accompaniment by either plucked bass or guitar. This event will create a platform for local voices and open our minds and ears to words and music in a new way.

Gerry Sloan retired from the Music Department at the University of Arkansas where he started the Jazz Ensemble, the Latin Ensemble, and taught Jazz History for over thirty years.
