Al Young California's Poet Laureate

with

Dartanyan Brown's Blues All-Stars

Concert DVD

If you've attended one of Al's readings/performances you know what a special gift he has. In 2005 Dartanyan Brown collaborated with him to create several very special performances. Al is offering a DVD concert featuring his transcendant poetry with some of the most soulful blues and jazz that you'll ever want to hear. This performance features selections from Al's immense body of work including "Heaven" and "Coastal Nights and Inland Afternoons". He reads unaccompanied but is backed on several selections by the guitar and scat singing of Dartanyan and drummer Jaimeo Brown. After Al's reading, you can enjoy a set of world-class blues played by Hall of Fame-class musicians. It's not often that the blues gets together with poetry and Al has been quite excited about offering this DVD to his growing legion of fans worldwide.
