Louie Palu : The Fighting Season
10.15.2011, 6-7:30pm Eyeminded: Living and Writing Contemporary Art by Kellie Jones
Please join Busboys and Poets, Teaching for Change and Provisions Library for an evening with author Kellie Jones, who will read and discuss her book, Eyeminded: Living and Writing Contemporary Art on Saturday, October 15th, from 6-7:30p.m. at Busboys and Poets (5331 Baltimore Ave., Hyattsville, MD 20781).
A daughter of the poets Hettie Jones and Amiri Baraka, Jones grew up immersed in a world of artists, musicians, and writers, absorbed in Black nationalist ideas about art, politics, and social justice across the river in Newark. The activist vision of art and culture that she learned in those two communities, and especially from her family, has shaped her life and work as an art critic and curator. Featuring selections of her writings from the past twenty years, Eyeminded reveals Jones’s role in bringing attention to the work of African-American, African, Latin-American, and women artists who have challenged established art practices.
This event is free and open to the public.

Starting at 8pm, THE CONNECTION, a free jazz performance by Butch Warren & Freddie Redd accompanied by a photographic slide show by Antoine Sanfuentes. A poetry reading by local DC poet, Fred Joiner, will also happen in between sets.
An evening of jazz and art with two legendary jazz musicians, Freddie Redd pairs up with Butch Warren to play hard bop jazz…known for his piece “The Connection,” these two connect an era and an art form. Born in 1939, Butch Warren began his career as a jazz bassist at the ripe age of 14. Early on, the bassist worked locally in the Washington, DC, area, most notably with Stuff Smith. Warren was in great demand for club work and appeared on many recordings, particularly dates for the Blue Note label led by Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, Stanley Turrentine, Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Clark, and Dorham. He was a member of Thelonious Monk’s quartet from 1963-1964 and then moved back to Washington, DC, where he worked on a television show from 1965-1966. Antoine Sanfuentes is the Washington DC Bureau Chief for NBC news that has been documenting Butch Warren’s recent life history. His photographs chronicle Butch Warren’s come back. After four legendary years recording for blue note records in New York (1960-1964), Butch Warren spent decades off the music scene only re appearing briefly to disappear again. These photographs document his struggle as a jazz musician and an artist.
This performance is funded, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts
Both events are free and open to the public.
