DESCRIPTION:TALKING TAIKO: A celebration of Yuri Kageyama's "The New and 
 Selected Yuri: Writing From Peeling Till Now" (Ishmael Reed Publishing Co.
 \, 2011)Poetry with Music by Eric Kamau Gravatt (jazz drummer for McCoy T
 yner\, Weather Report\, Wayne Shorter)\, Isaku Kageyama (taiko drummer for
  Amanojaku\, Hybrid Soul\, Toshinori Kondo)\, Makoto Horiuchi (musical dir
 ector\, guitar)\, Hiroyuki Shido (bass) and Greg Pearson (keyboards). Sp
 ecial guests Ishmael Reed\, Tennessee Reed and Carla Blank. “They’ve c
 alled Yuri ‘cute’ often during her life. She’s cute all right. Like 
 a tornado is cute. Like a hurricane is cute. This Yuricane\,” Reed says.
  “Her poems critique Japanese as well as American society. The Chikan. T
 he arrogance of the Gaijin\, who\, even when guests in a country\, insist 
 that everybody be like them. Some are erotic. You might find allusions to 
 Richard Wright\, Michelangelo\, John Coltrane. Music is not only entertain
 ment but like something that one injects\, something that invades the nerv
 ous system.”
