SUMMARY:The MD's perform The Beatles' Revolver
DESCRIPTION:Join us as The MD’s — a Memphis-based Booker T & the MG’s tribute band — perform The Beatles Revolver album on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7:30 pm | show at 8 pm \n\nIn March of 1966\, negotiations were being made for The Beatles to possibly record their next studio album in Memphis\, TN at Stax Records. Concerns over security\, money\, and other factors ultimately killed the deal and The Beatles remained at Abbey Road. Can you imagine what that next record\, to be titled Revolver\, would have sounded like had it been recorded in Memphis? Would Otis Redding have added some background vocals? Would Booker T have played organ? What about the Memphis horns? \n\nSince The MD’s main goal is to keep the incredible catalog of Booker T & The MG’s music alive\, they have decided to try something a little different. With the utmost respect to Booker\, Steve\, Duck\, and Al\, they are going to perform Revolver as they think the MG’s would have in the ’60s. \nAbout The MD’s:\nThe only Booker T & the MG’s tribute band in the group’s hometown of Memphis\, TN. The MD’s will play anything Booker T & the MG’s ever recorded in the studio or at a live show.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with special guest Wycliffe Gordon
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: jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon  \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 Wycliffe Gordon:\nWycliffe Gordon experiences an impressive career touring the world performing to\ngreat acclaim from audiences and critics alike. \nJazz Journalists Association named him “Trombonist of the Year” for the 12th time in\n2019\, and Downbeat Critics Poll named Wycliffe “Best Trombone” for the fifth time\nlast year (2018\, 2016\, 2014\, 2013 & 2012). Most recently Wycliffe received the\n“Louie Award” honoring his dedication and commitment to the music of Louis\nArmstrong\, and received the International Trombone Association Award in 2017\,\nwhich recognizes the highest level of creative and artistic achievement. In 2015\,\nWycliffe was presented the Satchmo award from the Sarasota Jazz Club\, received the\nLouis Armstrong Memorial Prize presented by the Swing Jazz Culture Foundation\,\nand was named Artist of the Year (2015) by the Augusta Arts Council. He is also a\npast recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Vanguard Award\, among others. \nIn addition to an extremely successful solo career\, Gordon tours regularly leading\nhis quintet\, headlining at legendary jazz venues and performing arts centers\nthroughout the world. He is commissioned frequently\, and has an extensive catalog\nof original compositions that span the various timbres of jazz and chamber music.\nMusicians and ensembles of every caliber perform his music throughout the world\nand his arrangement of the theme song to NPR’s “All Things Considered” is heard\ndaily across the globe. \nGordon is a former veteran member of the Wynton Marsalis Septet\, the Lincoln\nCenter Jazz Orchestra and has been a featured guest artist on Billy Taylor’s “Jazz at\nthe Kennedy Center” Series. Gordon is also one of Americaʼs most persuasive and\ncommitted music educators\, and currently serves as full time Artist-in-Residence at\nAugusta University in Augusta\, GA. \nWycliffe Gordon is a Yamaha Performing Artist and has his own line of Wycliffe\nGordon Pro Signature Mouthpieces by Pickett Brass.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents THE UNHOLY THREE (1925) + NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $10 (at the door only) \nDouble feature with THE UNHOLY THREE and a live score by BLUESHIFT ENSEMBLE\, followed by a screening of NIGHT OF THE HUNTER \nTHE UNHOLY THREE was Tod Browning’s first shot at telling the story of three sideshow performers who grow sick of living the impoverished life they lead and hatch a plan to get rich. Tweedledee (Harry Earles) is a dwarf who disguises himself as a baby. Professor Echo\, a ventriloquist\, becomes Mrs. O’Grady — Tweedledee’s “grandmother.” Professor Echo’s girlfriend\, who is a pickpocket\, becomes his “granddaughter.”  Theft\, fake talking parrots\, murder\, ALMOST child murder\, circus strongmen\, and an unhinged pet ape!!!!  \nBLUESHIFT ENSEMBLE is a Memphis­-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi­-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, soul\, and hip hop and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers. The astronomical term “blueshift” indicates an object’s moving closer toward the observer. Blueshift aims to bring concert music and art out of the concert hall and into the Memphis community. \nSECOND FEATURE: NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)\nA tall\, handsome ‘preacher’ — his knuckles eerily tattooed with ‘love’ and ‘hate’ — roams the countryside\, spreading the gospel … and leaving a trail of murdered women in his wake. To Reverend Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum)\, the work of the Lord has more to do with condemning souls than saving them\, especially when his own interests are involved. Now his sights are set on $10\,000 — and two little children are the only ones who know where it is. ‘Chill…dren!’ the preacher croons to the terrified boy and girl hiding in the cold\, dark cellar … innocent young lambs who refuse to be led astray.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921) + GANJA & HESS (1973)
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $10 (at the door only) \nDouble feature with THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921) and a live piano accompaniment by Maeve Brophy\, followed by a screening of SECOND FEATURE: GANJA & HESS (1973). \nTHE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921): The last person to die on New Year’s Eve before the clock strikes twelve is doomed to take the reins of Death’s chariot and work tirelessly\, collecting fresh souls for the next year. So says the legend that drives THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (Körkarlen)\, directed by the father of Swedish cinema\, Victor Sjöström. The story\, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf\, concerns an alcoholic\, abusive ne’er-do-well (Sjöström himself) who is shown the error of his ways\, and the pure-of-heart Salvation Army sister who believes in his redemption. This extraordinarily rich and innovative silent classic (which inspired Ingmar Bergman to make movies) is a Dickensian ghost story and a deeply moving morality tale\, as well as a showcase for groundbreaking special effects. \nMAEVE BROPHY gave her first solo piano recital at age 9 and made her orchestral debut at 15. She has given solo and collaborative performances in Wells\, England; the Amalfi Coast; Kiev\, Ukraine; New York; San Francisco; Seattle; Aspen; Nashville; and Memphis. She has performed for the Memphis Chamber Music Society and the Artist Ascending Series in Memphis and is a regular performer with the Luna Nova Ensemble. Maeve has performed as soloist with the Chernygev Symphony in Kiev as well as the Paducah Symphony and the Central Florida Philharmonic. She has a BA from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a Master of Music in Piano Performance from Texas Christian University. She also studied at the Manhattan School of Music and at the New England Conservatory of Music with Russell Sherman. She has worked as a freelance accompanist in Memphis and played for numerous student recitals at the University of Memphis. She has taught students privately as well as at the Boston College of Adult Education. \nSECOND FEATURE: GANJA & HESS (1973): Flirting with the conventions of blaxploitation and horror\, Bill Gunn’s revolutionary independent film GANJA & HESS is a highly stylized and utterly original treatise on sex\, religion\, and African American identity. Duane Jones (Night of the Living Dead) stars as anthropologist Hess Green\, who is stabbed with an ancient ceremonial dagger by his unstable assistant (director Bill Gunn)\, bestowing upon him the blessing of immortality … and the curse of an unquenchable thirst for blood. When the assistant’s beautiful and outspoken wife Ganja (Marlene Clark) comes searching for her missing husband\, she and Hess form an unexpected partnership. Together\, they explore just how much power blood holds. Later recut and released in an inferior version\, this edition represents the original release\, restored by The Museum of Modern Art with support from The Film Foundation\, and mastered in HD from a 35mm negative.

SUMMARY:Pablo Sáinz Villegas at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance by Spanish guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas at Crosstown Theater. \nTime: doors at 6:30pm / performance at 7:30pm\nTickets: $20 (students $10 with ID at the door) \n“virtuosic playing characterized by its vividly shaded colors and irresistible exuberance …”\n— The New York Times\n“Master of the guitar”\n— Plácido Domingo \n\nAbout the artist:\nPraised as “the soul of the Spanish guitar\,” Pablo Sáinz Villegas has become a worldwide sensation known as this generation’s great guitarist. With his “virtuosic playing characterized by irresistible exuberance\,” as described by The New York Times\, his interpretations conjure the passion\, playfulness\, and drama of Rioja\, his homeland’s rich musical heritage. He is known for his passionate\, emotive\, and open-hearted playing\, whether he is performing at intimate recital halls\, or playing with Plácido Domingo to an audience of over 85\,000 at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid\, where maestro Domingo hailed him as “the master of the guitar.” \nSáinz Villegas has continued to thrive over the past year connecting in new ways with his audience. He was one of the few selected artists to participate at the 2018 Grammy’s Classical event at Carnegie Hall in New York\, and he recorded an anticipated duo album together with tenor Plácido Domingo. Highlights of his recent collaborations with Domingo include a performance on a floating stage on the Amazon River streamed worldwide to millions\, as well as a special anniversary concert at Chile’s National Stadium. Last season\, Sáinz Villegas also made his debut at Chicago’s Grant Park Music Festival under the baton of Carlos Kalmar at the Millennium Park to an audience of 11\,000 people and accomplished summer tours with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. He also gave the world premiere of ‘Rounds\,’ the first composition for guitar by five-time Academy Award-winner John Williams. \nRoutinely drawing comparisons with legendary exponents of his instrument such as Andrés Segovia\, Sáinz Villegas has already appeared on some of the world’s most prestigious stages including Carnegie Hall in New York\, the Philharmonie in Berlin\, and at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Known for a sound so rich and full that it does not need amplification\, his concerto performances regularly inspire new invitations and re-engagements in more than 30 countries. He has played with the world’s top-level orchestras including the Pittsburgh\, Bergen\, and Israel Philharmonics\, as well as Cincinnati\, Spanish National\, and Boston Symphonies. He made a series of important debuts under the baton of Frühbeck de Burgos\, and has enjoyed fruitful collaborations with conductors including Juanjo Mena\, Miguel Harth-Bedoya\, Carlos Kalmar\, Gustavo Gimeno\, and Cristian Macelaru. \nSáinz Villegas continuously searches for ways to communicate with young audiences and to inspire them with music. A born communicator\, the guitarist explains: “Music is among things we cannot touch and that is what makes it most powerful.” Over the last decade\, he has created projects that bring music beyond the performance halls\, reaching more than 20\,000 children and youth through volunteering his time\, establishing music programs\, visiting schools\, and creating unique community activities around the globe. His efforts have granted him invitations to play for the Spanish Royal Family and the Dalai Lama.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents HAXAN (1922) + DEEP RED (1975)
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $10 (at the door only) \nDouble feature with HAXAN (1922) and a live score by 1000 LIGHTS\, followed by a screening of DEEP RED (1975). \nHAXAN (1922): Grave robbing\, torture\, possessed nuns\, and a satanic Sabbath: Benjamin Christensen’s legendary silent film HAXAN uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages and early modern era suffered from the same ills as psychiatric patients diagnosed with hysteria in the film’s own time. Far from a dry dissertation on the topic\, the film itself is a witches’ brew of the scary\, the gross\, and the darkly humorous. Christensen’s mix-and-match approach to genre anticipates gothic horror\, documentary re-creation\, and the essay film\, making for an experience unlike anything else in the history of cinema. \nIs 1000 LIGHTS a post punk band? A proto-punk band? A goth band? A band of Memphis’ heaviest hitters? All of the above? Meet A Thousand Lights. Guitarist Joey Killingsworth (Jocephus and the George Jonestown Massacre\, Super Witch\, Grendel Crane\, Static Bombs)\, drummer Russ Thompson (The Margins\, Static Bombs\, New Intruders\, Pisshorse)\, bassist Chris McCoy (Super Witch\, Static Bombs\, New Intruders\, Pisshorse)\, and vocalist Jesse James Davis (Yesse Yavis\, Model Zero) owe their partnership to the Memphis Does Bowie benefit show. Thompson\, who has been a musical partner with McCoy since their days in the legendary 90s art punk band Pisshorse\, sat in with McCoy and Killingsworth’s metal juggernaut Super Witch to cover the Bowie classics “Scary Monsters and Super Creeps\,” “Cat People\,” and “It Ain’t Easy.” Davis\, dressed as Low-era Bowie\, brought the house down fronting Winchester and the Ammunition. Memphis Does Bowie raised more than $20\,000 for Memphis area charities. In 2017\, Killingsworth\, Thompson\, and McCoy were playing together in the death rock project Static Bombs when the trio tapped Davis for a pair of shows: Gimmie Shelter\, a benefit for homeless charities that saw Memphis musicians paying tribute to the Rolling Stones; and a slot at Memphis’ hottest Halloween party\, hosted by Black Lodge Video\, where the band\, joined by saxophonist Seth Moody\, performed The Stooges Funhouse album in its entirety. These shows were such a raging success that the group decided to make it permanent\, renaming themselves A Thousand Lights\, after a line from The Stooges’ “Down On The Street.”  As you can tell from the choices of artists they paid tribute to\, A Thousand Lights sound is slippery and diverse\, incorporating elements from the earliest days of punk and post punk that bands like Bauhaus\, Siouxsie and the Banshees\, and Love and Rockets synthesized into goth rock.  Their debut EP “3nc EP” is available now on iTunes & Spotify.  \nSECOND FEATURE: DEEP RED (1975): 4K restoration! From Dario Argento\, the man behind some the greatest excursions in Italian horror (SUSPIRIA\, THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE\, THE CAT O’ NINE TAILS)\, comes DEEP RED: arguably the ultimate giallo. Aided by a throbbing score from legendary proggers Goblin\, this hallucinatory fever dream is punctuated by some of the most expert setpieces the genre has to offer. One lonely night\, musician Marcus Daly (David Hemmings\, BLOW UP)\, looks up from the plaza below and witnesses the brutal axe murder of a woman in her apartment. Racing to the scene\, Marcus just misses the perpetrator — or does he? As he takes on the role of amateur sleuth\, Marcus ensnares himself in a bizarre web of murder and mystery where nothing is what it seems. \n
