Diem Jones presents equanimity

Silicon Valley Stage - Sunday 12pm

Diem Jones, poet/producer and percussionist presents Equanimity, a unique presentation of 23rd Century Jazz and thought provoking poetic verse. A cast of renowned musicians including; Zuri Universe Soul, Dave Saffell, Shaffee Jackson, JD Parran, and Manos will support Jones’s delivery of themes of cultural consciousness, under the musical direction of Len Wood. The performance will include engaging, interactive multi-media presentations supporting the themes, rhythms and muses. Jones’s style of poetry emanates from his long association with the godfather of funk, George Clinton as well as collaborations with Brenda Russell, Amp Fiddler and Parliament-Funkadelic.
