copernicus

Performance poet Corpernicus (real name Joseph Smalkowski) uses psychedelic music and free jazz to accompany his readings.

The liner notes of the "Nothing Exists" CD re-release add:
"The band Copernicus began with Copernicus, Larry Kirwan and Pierce Turner in 1978 at the Five Spot, St. Marks Place (New York City). Kirwan and Turner are the musical mother and father, but every musician who partakes designs his or her own part with vocals spontaneously created and performed by Copernicus."
