SUMMARY:POSTPONED Kafé Kirk with special guest Dave Koz
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin 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 performance will feature saxophonist Dave Koz. \nThis show will feature two performances — a matinee at 4 pm and an evening show at 7 pm. VIP tickets will ONLY be available for the 4 pm performance. \nGeneral admission tickets\, 4 pm — $50\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $70\nDoors open at 3 pm for VIP and 3:30 pm for general seating | Show at 4 pm\n*** VIP experience has been relocated to the black box of the theater. The VIP experience includes a signed copy of a Kirk Whalum CD and a meet-and-greet. \nGeneral admission tickets\, 7 pm — $50 \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 Dave Koz:\nIn a recording career that spans nearly three decades\, saxophonist Dave Koz has racked up an astoundingly impressive array of honors and achievements: nine GRAMMY® nominations\, 11 No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart\, numerous world tours\, 13 sold-out Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruises\, performances for multiple U.S. presidents\, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, and appearances on a multitude of television shows\, including “Good Morning America\,” “The View\,” “The Tonight Show\,” “Entertainment Tonight\,” and more. A Platinum-selling artist\, Koz is also known as a humanitarian\, entrepreneur\, radio host\, and instrumental music advocate.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Paris is Burning
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nJennie Livingston’s Paris is Burning documents African-American and Latinx drag culture in 1980s New York City. Focusing on ballroom competition culture\, Paris is Burning introduced the rest of America to voguing. Beautifully shot in 16mm\,  the film told the stories of gay and trans people of color and how\, after being rejected by their families and straight society\, they managed to find accepting family units and ways to survive (which sometimes included shoplifting and sex work). Paris is Burning was the inspiration for the television show Pose. \nJennie Livingston/1990/78 minutes \nThe 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 at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED  Crosstown Arthouse presents Black Orpheus
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nBlack Orpheus is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice\, set in the streets of Rio during Carnival. When released in 1959\, Black Orpheus was an arthouse hit\, driven by incredible cinematography\, location\, and bossa nova music. \nOnly later\, people started to re-examine Black Orpheus\, its popularity\, and its audience — especially the idea of an all-black cast being shoehorned into a Greek myth through the lens of a white French director. Despite its complications and glossing-over of what life was like for the poor in Rio\, Black Orpheus is\, without doubt\, a cultural milestone and an influence on later works in film and music. Black Orpheus is another one of those award-winning films everyone is supposed to see\, but in this case\, seriously\, you should come see it! \nMarcel Camus/1959/107 minutes \nThe 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 at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED A Change of Tone\, a Music Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nIn A Change of Tone\, musicians will “exhibit” new work in one venue while performing in another\, creating a non-traditional listening experience. \nThe goal of A Change of Tone is to invite artists to sonically and musically explore the varied interrelations between technical musical themes and humanity: what we experience\, observe\, believe\, and imagine within the realms of our intellectual capabilities. \nAdmission is free (but donations of any amount are suggested); please RSVP on Eventbrite\nDoors at 7 pm | Performances beginning each night at 7:30 pm \nLineup:\nSaturday\, April 18 – NICHOLAS MALONEY\nSaturday\, April 19 – GUNTER GAUPP\nMonday\, April 20 – THE ACHELOIS COLLECTIVE \n\nABOUT THE EVENT:\nDuring this event\, there will be two live-feed interconnections between The Green Room music venue at Crosstown Arts and Crosstown Theater. The first feed will be an audio feed for the audience in The Green Room\, as the musicians\, out of sight\, perform their original work in the empty Crosstown Theater. The second feed will video-capture The Green Room audience so the performing musicians in the Theater may virtually watch and technically perform for their audience on the screen. The audience in The Green Room will be informed in advance that they will be watched by the performing musicians in the theater\, creating an immersive environment in which the performers’ new music might achieve a vivid and seemingly living omnipresence. \nSimilar to the experience of being inside a haunted house or abandoned building\, this spectral approach to auditory perception will be\, among other things\, a sonic experiment in vulnerability. It will be an attempt to enhance and heighten the audio-sensory experience for the listener and perhaps will intensify the presence and impact that music can have when our fight-or-flight response is instinctively activated\, giving the sounds we hear the power to demand our full attention. \n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nNicholas Maloney:\nNicholas Maloney is a sound artist\, multi-instrumentalist\, performer\, and recording engineer from Jackson\, Mississippi. Working primarily in the areas of drone\, ambient\, musique concrète\, and electroacoustics\, Nicholas creates recordings that he feels can provoke emotion\, while at the same time offering a palette of sound that can be used to practice the rewarding act of deep listening. He looks to challenge the listeners’ focus and perception of sound. Much of his work explores the textural nature of sound within a framework of progressing and evolving compositions. He is interested in the interaction among texture\, sound\, and space. \nUnder his full name\, Nicholas Maloney creates and releases compositions using field recordings\, found sounds\, and a variety of processing and audio transformation techniques. He also records under the moniker\, Blanket Swimming\, exploring the more melodic and ambient side of experimental music using guitar\, synthesizers\, tape manipulation\, field recordings\, voice\, and other instrumentation. Maloney also records under the name Sleep Silver Lightning\, exploring compositions for the guitar and voice. In 2015\, Maloney co-founded the net-label Warm Milk Recordings with Whitson Ramsey. \nGunter Gaupp:\nGunter is a composer and teacher based in Memphis\, who’s work combines interests in noise composition and genre music. Born in Louisiana\, Gunter’s recent work maintains a connection to jazz and folk traditions in his approach to melody and harmony\, while exploring new possibilities through extended technique and graphic notation. His music has been premiered recently in Chicago and Green Bay\, as well as internationally in Vienna and Paris. Gunter completed his MM in 2019 at the University of Memphis\, where he studied composition under Kamran Ince and John Baur. More recently\, Gunter has begun teaching music to middle and high school students at Memphis Rise Academy. Gunter will be presenting his new work for A Change of Tone as a quintet\, featuring Aaron Phillips (saxophone)\, Anna Welden (voice)\, Bryan Pallotta (piano)\, Michael Todd (percussion)\, and Ben Walsh (double bass). \nThe Achelois Collective:\nThe Achelois Collective is a contemporary chamber ensemble dedicated to helping co-design opportunities to create healthier communities through the art of new music. The ensemble’s 10 members are featured as composers\, collaborators\, chambers musicians\, and soloists who hail from across the continental U.S. Established in the summer of 2019\, TAC seeks to elevate\, celebrate\, and embolden female/non-binary voices in modern music and to support projects by artists of under-acknowledged backgrounds and nationalities. \nIn an effort to assist the world of classical music to become more egalitarian\, TAC creates spaces for active participation and appreciation for audiences of all genders\, ages and musical knowledge. Equally important\, the Collective strives to represent within themselves a model of respect and appreciation for the unique abilities and perspectives of their members and collaborators.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents The Muthers
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nWe can’t say it better than the incredible American Genre Film Archive\, who are lovingly saving films like this for folks like us to show again in all their glory on a giant screen! \nSays the American Genre Film Archive: “Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson\, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines\, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny’s exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco’s living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams\, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas\, get sent to a women’s prison presided over by a sadistic warden\, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words\, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you’ll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” \nCirio Santiago/1976/93 minutes \nThe 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 at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Walking Tall
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nThe legends surrounding Buford Pusser loom large over both Memphis and McNairy County\, where he was sheriff from 1964 to 1970. Buford was a professional wrestler who became a sheriff in an area overrun by the Dixie Mafia. He went to war with and killed Louise Hathcock\, the operator of The Shamrock Motel\, where the Babushka lady was supposedly seen hanging out a week or so before JFK got popped. \nBuford’s star really started to shine when his friend\, country and rockabilly singer Eddie Bond started singing about him. Legend has it\, when Buford got ambushed by the Dixie Mafia (and his wife was killed and his face was shot off)\, he hid out in Memphis at a nightclub on Madison that Eddie Bond owned with “The Fabulous One” Jackie Fargo. \nBuford’s legend and story was interesting enough that they made THREE movies about him\, and the first is Walking Tall. The film fictionalizes Buford’s journey from bear wrestler to one-man crime crusader. Walking Tall stars character actor Jo Don Baker (Joysticks and Fletch) as Buford Pusser and Elizabeth Hartman (A Patch of Blue and The Secret of NIMH) as his wife Pauline\, plus Lief Garrett (Macon Count Line\, Walking Tall Part II\, Final Chapter: Walking Tall\, Tiger Beat Cover Model) and Lief’s real-life sister Dawn Lyn as the Pusser kids! \n1973/Phil Karlson/1973/125 minutes \nThe 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 at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)
