Bruce Fowler, Alex Caldiero, Ken Sanders - sound and text

Yesterday, 9/11, we attended a music and poetry performance at Ken Sanders Rare Books. First, members of SLAJO improvised with composer/trombonist Bruce Fowler. Bruce, his brother and father are legends of music in Salt Lake, pretty much setting the standards we all strive towards. Bruce was in Salt Lake from LA doing some investigation into his grandfather's work - a painter. His grandfather originally named Cecret Lake in Albion Basin as "Lake Minnie". He also named Devil's Castle as "The Tower of Babel".

Next up was Ken Sanders reading from reading from Charles Bowden's essay, "Letter to the Next American President" (to be be published in the November issue of GQ). Bruce and Ken "traded fours" during Ken's reading.

Then Alex Caldiero did a 9-11 commemoration "Rants & Laments featuring Cow Mantras + Burka Dancers + Acts of Language + Mortar Shell Gongs". Very powerful. As I said after Alex's 2004 Utah Arts Festival performance - his poetry has taken a decidedly political turn.
