The word/jazz performance series and Jazz Outside! presents collaborative spoken word and improvised music performances that feature an ever evolving all-star cast of Austin’s best performance poets, musicians, and writers who create live-on-the-spot spontaneous compositions.These are decidedly not "poetry readings."
Now one of Austin’s longest lived spoken word and music projects (since 2000), word/jazz creates a comfortable setting for exploration of how traditional call-and-response can be adapted to performance situations where artists are free to improvise based on real time inspiration of the moment.

Lunch Money is a musical improvisational ensemble with members Bob Hoffnar (pedalsteel guitar), Chris Cogburn (drums), Aaron Allen (double bass) and Alex Heitlinger (trombone). The players in Lunch Money all have strong and varied backgrounds ranging from jazz, country, new music, classical, punk, experimental and free improvisation. Their music comes together in a truly unique and spontaneous way.
WD-41 Collective, Guitarist/Improvisation Artist/Producer Willie Oteri known for his work with King Crimson, Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel alumni has teamed with Austin Trumpeter Dave Laczko ( Barons of Rhythm, KAZI radio) on a new project called WD-41, an improvisational duo creating loops, filtering rhythms and sculpting the air. Their recent releases are top sellers at CDbaby and have received favorable reviews in Guitar Player, All About Jazz and others. They also tour overseas and will be heading to Germany in October. They go on at 8. The WD-41 Collective includes several musicians and artists from around the world.
