Ted Joans, who died in 2003, was a jazz poet, surrealist, trumpeter and painter. His work stands at the intersection of several avant-garde streams and some have seen in it a precursor to the orality of the spoken-word movement. Joans is known for his motto: Jazz is my religion, and Surrealism is my point of view. In New York, Joans painted in a style he dubbed Jazz Action and read his poetry, developing a personal style of oral delivery called Jazz Poetry. He was a participant in the Beat Generation in Greenwich Village. He was a contemporary and friend of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, Leroi Jones (later known as Amiri Baraka), Gregory Corso, Diane Di Prima, Bob Kaufman, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and others. Joans shared a room for a time with the great jazz musician, Charlie Parker. His bohemian costume balls and rent parties were photographed by Fred McDarrah and Weegee. Joans painting Bird Lives hangs in the De Young Museum in San Francisco. He was also the originator of the Bird Lives legend and graffiti in New York City after the death of Charlie Parker in March 1955. Here, at a Beat Poetry conference at New York University in 1994, Joans joins the Beat composer, David Amram, for an improved scat performance.
