Kerouac's work was greatly influenced by the stream of jazz that became known as Be Bop. Developed in the mid-1940s by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and his second in command, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, it featured angular melodies, at times blistering tempos, the use of Afro-Cuban rhythms, and complex harmonies, it challenged jazz players to a new level of improvisational virtuosity that inspired Kerouac and his colleagues.<\/p>\n
Two musical titans, David Amram who actually worked with Kerouac, and Latin jazz master Bobby Sanabria will join forces at Joe's Pub to celebrate Kerouac's centennial in a special evening of bebop, mambo, and poetry.<\/p>\n
David and Bobby will be joined by\u00a0Peter Brainin, Silvano Monasterios, Leo Traversa, Jennifer Jade Ledesna, Adira Amram, and\u00a0Marcos de la Fuente.<\/p>\n
