Sunday at 5, catch four goils from the Northern California watershed, poets & buddies from a ways back… Lisbet Bailey, Cathleen Williams, Sarah Menefee and Julie Rogers. A quick blow out! deep, profound, sassy and unfiltered, and then it’s on to the jazz at 7pm–this time, of the Filipino kulintang persuasion… Autonomous Region, a quintet led by Caroline Cabading–house band of the Club Mandalay at the I-Hotel Manilatown Heritage Center. Grab a quesabirria taco or some chow fun twixt the poetry and the jazz, and reclaim your seat in the bookshop for a wondrous good time! Marian Dalere will tell you, this is joyous & righteous. Happy Birthday, Marian!

Here’s some music while you mark your calendar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ_NyEVHms8&list=RDAtu2_x_KW80&index=8, unrelated, except insofar as it’s great jazz music! Thanks to Black America for bequeathing this music to the world! To hear Autonomous Region, come to the show!
