"Birth Of The Cool" explores the beat generation poets, their lives and loves, their poetry and prose and the jazz that inspired them with a tour of USA University campuses.
A seductive evening of cool words and hot jazz, John Turnbull plans to bring his one man show about the lives of the beat poets to the USA.
Experience a coolly provocative evening Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S Burroughs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Gregory Corso performed by John Turnbull, seamlessly interspersed with authentic jazz of the beat generation.
Music for "Birth Of The Cool", composed by Paul Cutlan, is an original tribute to the jazz of the Beat Era; with Steve Arie on Bass and Fabian Hevia on Drums, Percussion and Vibes.
