Jazz concert Pop-ins and Friday dinners.

Finished a lecture and submitted an essay and my American buddy made me accompany him and another friend to this jazz/poetry thing they had in a nearby Univ. of London college. Supposed to be a flavour from the Beatnik era, something by Jack Kerouac. He merged poetry with jazz and the result (atleast the version I was fortunate enough to see for an hour about 50 years after he produced it) was very enjoyable. David Amram, composer who worked with Kerouac, was playing with his band.

The singer scat-ted some poetry in a song as well. Scatting (rapping ala Scatman) over Jazz was a unique experience.

Later on acquiesced to invitation for this dinner thing with classmates. Quite a nice crowd at the dinner table. Nice to get to know some of them better. The internationalizing of me? Why not?
