As only the great Count Basie could put it: "Let’s try it one more once!" he called out at the end of his classic "April in Paris." April in Berkeley will once again be filled with jazz and poetry. Building on the enthusiastic crowd response to its 2007 debut, the 2nd Annual Bay Area JazzPoetry Festival returns to celebrate April's intersection of Jazz Appreciation Month and National Poetry Month.

"The mix of spoken word with the soundscape of music was incredible.
It was like painting on a canvas with emotion-colored paints. Strikingly beautiful." (from a First Annual Bay Area JazzPoetry Festival audience member)
