SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, a monthly jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This month’s guests: Kortland and Kameron Whalum. \nDoors at 5 pm | performance at 6 pm \nGeneral admission tickets — $45\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $60 \n\nAbout Kirk Whalum:\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring … these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his.The 80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene — especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first No. 1 album. Kirk and Bob also received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. \nAfter moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in-demand session player for top artists like Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones\, and\, most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date. Others include his eclectic\, and much-lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series\, (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar).

SUMMARY:Citizen Cope
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert by soul singer-songwriter Citizen Cope on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater on Tuesday\, June 18. \nDoors at 7 pm | performance at 8 pm\nTickets: $41 — purchase on Eventbrite\n$1 from each ticket sale will be donated to charity \nAbout Citizen Cope’s latest album\, Heroin & Helicopters:\nAsk him how he knew it was time to record a new studio album\, and Clarence Greenwood\, the trailblazing artist and producer better known as Citizen Cope\, has a simple answer: “It was time.” \nCope has built an entire career on trusting his gut and following his muse\, and if his new album\, ‘Heroin & Helicopters\,’ is any indication\, his instincts are sharper now than ever before. As technically innovative as it is emotionally resonant\, the record arrives at a uniquely challenging moment in modern American culture\, when profound political polarization and social divisions seem to grow deeper by the day. Rather than dwell on our differences\, though\, Cope tunes in to what unites us here\, drawing on everything from Chuck Brown and The Beatles to Randy Newman and Bill Withers\, aiming his unique brand of urban-folk inwards to reflect on the personal journeys we all undertake to embrace ourselves despite our flaws. \nWhile ‘Heroin & Helicopters’ feels particularly timely\, the record’s themes have been fixtures of Cope’s music since the release of his self-titled debut in 2002. That album was the culmination of years of pursuing his passion. Cope got his musical start in DC before moving to Brooklyn\, where he wrote songs while supporting himself on the streets\, buying and selling concert and sporting tickets with a cast of characters outside arenas and stadiums. His music spread from fan-to-fan via word of mouth\, and over the course of time his songs have become the soundtrack of his fans lives.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Weekly Film Series: American Pop
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Weekly Film Series is an arthouse-style film series showcasing a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $5 (at the door only) \nAMERICAN POP (NARRATIVE\, 1981) \nRalph Bakshi produced and directed this sweeping animated story of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family all trying to make it in the music business. American Pop incorporates most of what made Bakshi famous\, including rotoscoping\, primitive computer graphics\, live-action film\, archival film\, and still paintings. \nThe soundtrack is almost one million licensing dollars worth of classic rock that\, much of the time\, is incongruent with Bakshi’s imagery – most especially in the penultimate scene when a drug-dealing\, songwriting member of the family plays “Night Moves” to get the attention of the musicians and producers he was providing drugs to. With Lee Ving of FEAR as “Punk Rocker #1” – CAN’T MISS!!! \nWatch the trailer
