About Me
- TOUSSAINT ST. NEGRITUDE
- Northern, Vermont, United States
- The grandson of early Ellingtonian, pianist, composer James B. Titus Sr., Toussaint St. Negritude has suitably gained the keys of yet his own cool swing. Growing up in San Francisco, Mr. St. Negritude attended Grambling State University and in 1979 left college to pursue a 3 year exploration of the Negritude Movement, in the Republic of Haiti. This voudouesque encounter with the convergence of art and spirit has fervently become the template for all of his work, including the shaping of his name. It is precisely this esprit de vivre that has led this poet-turned-musician to freely blow his own grand incantations of the cosmos-in-b-flat. Since Port-au-Prince, Toussaint St. Negritude has published broadly and continues to duly climb a continuous path towards his muse, conjuring stays in the arts communities of Houston, Paris, Savannah, Eureka, the historic Coltrane district of Philadelphia, and now high in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Keeping his bags on the globe, Mr. St. Negritude is currently compiling notes for further publications and performances, and is soon to be blowing a poem towards your town.
