This eclectic cast of wonders includes MilesDavis' nephew jamming with Poet STEPHEN JOHN KALINICH, who opened the last show at The Viper Room. Big Beat Sundays is "a happening electric supper club style in an ethereal circus tent pitched by a fusion of blues-jazz-rock." With heavies like Bernard Fowler, Ivan Neville, Angus Thomas, Alvino Bennett, Angus Thomas, Jason Sanay, Steve Boykin, Daniel Pearson and Rebellum.

It is an exciting evening. The poetry deals with serious issues about the world. The poem, "NEVER BEFORE IN AMERICA", about September 11th, was performed by Stephen Kalinich.
