The readers for the night included Jessica Hagedorn, Bob Holman, Suheir Hammad, Patrick Rosal, and Sam Hamill, and it ended with Holman gathering up all the poets and having them do an improv jam of Rexroth lines while the Hayes Greenfield Trio provided the jazz music. I would say that all of ten people were witness to this. I'm glad I was one of the ten.
