IT’S ALL GOOD: A John Sinclair Reader.

This joyous return to the Café Oto in London’s Dalston neighborhood was organized by Dylan Harding for HeadPress to celebrate the release of my new book, IT’S ALL GOOD: A John Sinclair Reader, with an introduction by Mark Ritsema, and the publication of Headpress 28 which I had the honor of serving as editor alongside Headpress founder David Kerekes. My publishers brought Mark Ritsema over from Rotterdam to play guitar and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells down from Sweden to play bass, and we were joined by members of the London Improvisers Orchestra (LIO) in various combinations as this splendid evening of music & verse unfolded. We performed poems from IT’S ALL GOOD, a voice & piano duet on “nutty” and the premiere musical performance of a new poem written last week for my late brother David called “little rootie tootie.”
