Upsurge! - Jazz Poets Raymond Nat Turner (& Zigi Lowenberg) http://www.speakersandartists.org/People/Upsurge.html, part of SPEAKOUT! Speakers, Artists, Exhibits, Films - Institute For Democratic Education And Culture
"UpSurge presents high octane jazz poetry that speaks against oppression and for community while transporting the audience on a high-spirited liberating journey. UpSurge is a free-pushing jazz band with two strong poets out in front, Raymond Nat Turner and Zigi Lowenberg, who chant, shout, sing, whisper, dance and speak their message. Combining poetry and jazz, male and female, Los Angeles and New York, Jewish and African American, UpSurge crosses boundaries, twists expectations, moves minds, and incites action while always holding true to the rhythm. Their performance will create a stunning movement of unity for your audience."
