SUMMER SEQUENCE | spoken word, poetry & music | Jack Mann
Channel: whojackmann
Date: 2019-09-20

the summer sequence features both my original poetry and also covers of some of my favourite poems performed live with sensational session musicians.

1. an interaction (original)
2. i wanna be yours by john cooper clarke
3. having a coke with you by frank o'hara
4. and the waitresses (original inspired by o'hara)
5. us in h.d. (original inspired by hilda doolittle)

following perhaps the toughest spring that I can remember, summer 2019 was something else entirely and it swept me up in its warmth and optimism, some of which, I like to think, is reflected in this series. 

featuring two covers of poems I read at best mates' weddings last year and bouncing off musicians I'd not met before the nights we jammed together, the summer sequence celebrates connections sometimes long-standing sometimes more short-lived and each significant in this lad's eyes.
