The audience at tomorrow night’s Jazz Poetry Concert in Allegheny Commons Park is in for a special treat – a world premiere inspired by North Side neighbors. On Saturday evening, musician and composer Oliver Lake and poet TJ Dema will debut “Stoop is a Verb.” Nearly all the words and phrases came directly from people who live in Allegheny City Central and other nearby neighborhoods.

City of Asylum Pittsburgh (COAP) is proud to host the 10^th annual Jazz Poetry Concert on Saturday, September 6, 2014 from 7:45 until 9:45 pm. The annual North Side event will take place, rain or shine – under a tent in Allegheny Commons Park near the National Aviary.
