Jazz Factory Benefit for Louisville's Center for Women & Families

Free Readings & Music on Wednesday Oct. 12, starting at 7:30 PM. The Jazz Factory in downtown Louisville presents a special edition of Jazz & The Spoken Word to benefit The Center for Women & Families. To increase public awareness during Domestic Violence Month, The Jazz Factory readings will focus on that theme -- with readings by local and regional writers as well as from work by Toni Morrison, Anna Quindlen, Tobias Wolff and many others. Readers include Bobbi Buchanan, editor-publisher of The New Southerner; eastern Kentucky memoirist Valerie Sallee; author Fran Ellers; activist Marsha Weinstein; novelist Katy Yocom, writers Rus Funk and Dianne Aprile. As always, musicians Brian Vinson and Jacob Duncan will perform improvisational jazz as the readers read. FREE admission. Come early and hear jazz pianist Todd Hildreth from 5 to 7 p.m., also free. A portion of the proceeds from food and drink sales will benefit The Center for Women & Families. So come hungry and thirsty! The Jazz Factory is located in The Glassworks, 815 W. Market St., with free parking across the street. For more information, call 992-3242 or visit the website, www.jazzfactory.us.
