Michael Occhipinti & The Sicilian Jazz Project join forces with some of Toronto's most dynamic Italian-Canadian poets and spoken-word artists, including Domenico Capilongo, Gianna Patriarca, Luciano Iacobelli, Desi Di Nardo, Val Assenza, Giovanna Riccio, and Venus Gennaro whose CD of Sicilian poetry features music by Dominic Mancuso. This unique evening of word and song will feature the SKP performing its own JUNO-nomonated repertoire, as well as joining forces with the poets to create an improvised soundtrack.
