	Description:		In this episode: We take you inside a recent workshop titled The Jazz Poets, a special collaboration between 826 Valencia and the Stanford Jazz Workshop. Teachers Rob Kohler and singer/songwriter Maya Dorn, along with guest musicians Fred Harris and Ambrose Akinmusire, led students in a free-form, improvisational writing class. To start the class, students were treated to a series of recordings by Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg before being let loose with their own creations. What followed was a jam session of sorts between 10-13 year old poets and professional jazz musicians. According to teacher Rob Kohler, the class was about "music inspiring poetry and poetry inspiring music."
