Jazz Poetry Month: Layale Chaker & Sarafand at Jazz Poetry Month at City Of Asylum @ Alphabet City

About

Layale Chaker is a violinist and composer whose work weaves together classical music, Jazz, Arabic Music, and improvisation. Born in Lebanon and trained musically in Beirut, London, and Paris, Layale’s music fuses sounds of the world and musical genres. Inner Rhyme, Layale’s debut album, is a suite of music that explores the sounds, rhythms, rhymes, shapes, and forms of Arabic poetry.

Layale and her band join us live from the Alphabet City stage to perform Inner Rhyme and collaborate with poets from across the US and across Lebanon.
