Jazz. Poetry. These two are more than just means of entertainment, more than just methods of storytelling. They both act as historic objects that records our lives and memories. They are the archives of our souls, bodies, and minds. Jazz is inside of poetry, and poetry is inside of jazz, and both are inside all of us.

Sunday 6 October we invite you for a special edition of Jazz & Poetry in collaboration with Afrovibes at Labyrinth.
Invited by Afrovibes musician and performer Olatunde Obajeun from Nigeria will perform with the jazz/spoken word trio Vignette! They will accompany Unciapoetry, poet_ck to let you feel what jazz & poetry is all about.

Join us and experience Jazz & Poetry while enjoying exquisite cocktails made by mixologist Sam Kingue Ebelle and Afro/Caribbean soul food.

About VIGNETTE:

Vignette! is a jazz/spoken word group consisting of guitarist Euan Richard, bassist Baesst, and vocalist Alexander Cromer. The three met on a warm summer evening in Amsterdam during #openmicmonday at Labyrinth. After a spontaneous improvised jam session at the end of the open mic, the three decided to continue creating positive vibrations together. Pulling from neo-soul, jazz, blues, and hip hop influences, Vignette! seeks to envelope you in the beautiful chaos of life, love, and the occasional sandwich.
