Three words: jazz and poetry. Four words: free jazz and poetry. Many words: An Evening of Jazz with Walt Whitman and the Mystical Trumpeters. You don’t have to say it. Just hush up and kick back for GableStage’s reading of the Jerry Marshall musical – based on works by one of the most charismatic figures in American letters. (Did you know Whitman tended the wounded during the Civil War? We love that.) A reading of a musical, you say? Yes, ´tis odd. But when you combine the awesome talents of three jazz trumpeters, a pianist, a bassist, a drummer, and a singer, you have, words or no, music. The free performance is tonight at 7:30 at The Biltmore Hotel. Call 305-446-1116, or visit www.gablestage.org.
