Bob Kaufman at Cafe Trieste

David Amram musician and composer, a living treasure of American/ world music has performed his musical version of Bob Kaufman's poem,
"No More Jazz in Alcatraz".

No More Jazz
at Alcatraz
No more piano
for Lucky Luciano
No more trombone
for Al Capone
No More Jazz
at Alcatraz
No more cello
for Frank Costello
No more screeching of the
Seagulls
As they line up for
Chow
No More Jazz
at Alcatraz
