“50 Blues Haiku” Relay Station

CRITIC’S PICK: Saxophonist and composer Jeff Crompton will read from his new book, 50 Blues Haiku. The title describes exactly what’s between the cover of the book, which was designed and illustrated by guitarist and frequent Crompton collaborator Colin Bragg. Following the haiku book intro, a concert by one such collaboration, Relay Station, will include musical versions of select haikus. It all takes place on Sat., Apr., 6 at 8 p.m. at the old stone church of the First Existentialist Congregation in Candler Park. Admission is free, but a $10 donation will get you a copy of the book. For a few bucks more, you can choose from a fine selection of beers and wine. — Doug DeLoach
