(The year of her birth is often misreported as 1936.) Her father was a career soldier who would serve in both world wars; her mother was a secretary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;Reared in Los Angeles, young Jayne Richardson reveled in the jazz and Latin recordings that her parents collected. She studied art, music and drama in high school and later attended Compton Community College. She took the surname Cortez, the maiden name of her maternal grandmother, early in her artistic career.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;In the summers of 1963 and 1964, Ms. Cortez worked with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, registering black voters in Mississippi. It was this work as much as anything, she later said, that caused her to regard art and political action as an indivisible whole.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;She gave her first public poetry readings with the Watts Repertory Theater Company, a Los Angeles ensemble she founded in 1964. Ms. Cortez, who had homes in Manhattan and Dakar, Senegal, was also a founder of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://owwainc.org/" title="The organizations site."&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;Organization of Women Writers of Africa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;, established in 1991.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Ms. Cortez’s marriage to Mr. Coleman ended in divorce in 1964, after 10 years. Besides her son, she is survived by her second husband, Melvin Edwards, a prominent sculptor whom she married in 1975; a sister, Shawn Smith; three stepdaughters, Ana, Margit and Allma Edwards; and a grandson.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Her volumes of poetry, many illustrated by Mr. Edwards, include “Festivals and Funerals” (1971), “Coagulations” (1984) and “Jazz Fan Looks Back” (2002); her albums include “Everywhere Drums” (1990) and “Taking the Blues Back Home” (1996).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial;

Meant for the ear even more than for the eye, her words combine a hurtling immediacy with an incantatory orality.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;Starting in the 1960s, Ms. Cortez began performing her work to musical accompaniment.

They were chanted more than recited, employing carefully calibrated repetitions, shifts in tempo and modulations of vocal tone.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;It was as if her verse, which often took on large, painful subjects like racism and misogyny, had become an instrument itself — an instrument, Ms. Cortez felt strongly, to be wielded in the service of social change.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;In one of her best-known works, “If the Drum Is a Woman,” for instance, she indicts violence against women.

(The year of her birth is often misreported as 1936.) Her father was a career soldier who would serve in both world wars; her mother was a secretary.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Reared in Los Angeles, young Jayne Richardson reveled in the jazz and Latin recordings that her parents collected. She studied art, music and drama in high school and later attended Compton Community College. She took the surname Cortez, the maiden name of her maternal grandmother, early in her artistic career.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: white;">In the summers of 1963 and 1964, Ms. Cortez worked with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, registering black voters in Mississippi. It was this work as much as anything, she later said, that caused her to regard art and political action as an indivisible whole.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">She gave her first public poetry readings with the Watts Repertory Theater Company, a Los Angeles ensemble she founded in 1964. Ms. Cortez, who had homes in Manhattan and Dakar, Senegal, was also a founder of the&nbsp;</span><a href="http://owwainc.org/" title="The organizations site."><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">Organization of Women Writers of Africa</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">, established in 1991.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: white;">Ms. Cortez’s marriage to Mr. Coleman ended in divorce in 1964, after 10 years. Besides her son, she is survived by her second husband, Melvin Edwards, a prominent sculptor whom she married in 1975; a sister, Shawn Smith; three stepdaughters, Ana, Margit and Allma Edwards; and a grandson.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: white;">Her volumes of poetry, many illustrated by Mr. Edwards, include “Festivals and Funerals” (1971), “Coagulations” (1984) and “Jazz Fan Looks Back” (2002); her albums include “Everywhere Drums” (1990) and “Taking the Blues Back Home” (1996).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">Ms. Cortez, who taught at universities throughout the United States, including Rutgers, was among the artists featured — others include Amiri Baraka, Charles Bukowski, John Cage and Allen Ginsberg — in Ron Mann’s esteemed 1982 documentary film, “</span><a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/article/243828" title="About the film."><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">Poetry in Motion</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: white;">Despite her work’s eclecticism, Ms. Cortez was comfortable invoking a single genre to describe it, precisely because that genre was itself so encompassing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 17.6pt;">“Jazz&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.46666717529297px;">isn't</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 17.6pt;">&nbsp;just one type of music, it’s an umbrella that covers the history of black people from African&nbsp;drumming to field hollers and the blues,” she told The Weekly Journal, a black newspaper in Britain, in 1997. “In the sense that I also try to reflect the fullness of the black experience, I’m very much a jazz poet.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 17.6pt;"> <br /></div> <!--[if gte mso
