First, the bad news: trombone poetry was scheduled to share another Whitechapel knees-up with The Near Jazz Experience this week, but the beloved Indo Bar is in some kind of trouble and is closed. Look for updates on Farcebook. It seems a good time to upload the poem dedicated to the bar: Indode.
Alison Clayburn’s regular event, Rotherhithe Voices had the theme of Celestial Bodies last month, and trombone poetry obliged with the odd astronomical poem and a spontaneous tribute to Sun Ra. The offering was recorded and digitally interfered with to yield a short piece now available on SoundCloud, Sun Rasp, and the trombone poetry set is itself documented with a new poem: see Capsule.
The Yiddish Twist Orchestra has emerged from hibernation to launch a 10″ vinyl EP at the end of the month. For this event, the customary beigels will be replaced by pizzas.
