SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with special guest Jonathan Butler
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 guest: Jonathan Butler\, Grammy-winning contemporary jazz musician from South Africa. \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). \nAbout Jonathan Butler:\nThe youngest of 13 children\, Jonathan Butler grew up in Cape Town\, South Africa\, ruled by Apartheid and segregation. Butler began his singing career at age 7\, releasing his first album in 1973 and winning the Best New Artist Grammy in South Africa the following year at age 12. He made history by being the first black artist played on white South African radio while earning three gold records (“Please Stay” went double gold and “I Love How You Love Me” went gold) in 1975 as he became a teenager. \nMore than a decade later\, Butler moved to London\, England after signing with Jive Records and released his first album internationally. The self-titled set went gold in 1987 in the United Kingdom and in the USA. He received Grammy nominations for Best R&B Song for his R&B-pop vocal hit “Lies” and for Best Jazz Song for the instrumental “Going Home.” His genre-busting material earned songwriter’s awards and received abundant airplay in multiple radio formats: pop\, urban\, contemporary jazz\, adult contemporary and gospel. Butler’s 2004 album\, Surrender\, went gold in South Africa where he remains a superstar. \nHe launched the Jonathan Butler Foundation in his native country to fund music education programs that give children the purpose to overcome a life of drugs and poverty just as he did. The music and arts programs serving South African children ages 4-17 operate with the mission statement\, “Purpose kills addiction.”

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse Presents Delinquency in Cinema: FREDERICK WISEMAN’S JUVENILE COURT
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. This week: JUVENILE COURT \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $5 (at the door only) \nOriginally released in 1973 and made by acclaimed documentary film maker Frederick Wiseman\, JUVENILE COURT shows the complex variety of cases before the Memphis Juvenile Court: foster home placement\, drug abuse\, armed robbery\, child abuse\, and sexual offenses. The sequences illustrate such issues as community protection vs. the desire for rehabilitation\, the range and the limits of the choices available to the court\, the psychology of the offender\, and the constitutional and procedural questions involved in administering a juvenile court.
