SUMMARY:Metamorphosis: Third Coast Percussion + choreography by Movement Art Is\, interpreted and performed by Cameron Murphy & Quentin Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Metamorphosis featuring Third Coast Percussion and choreography by Movement Art Is\, interpreted and performed by Cameron Murphy & Quentin Robinson. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: $25-$40 \n** student tickets are available for $10 at the door with student ID \nDoors at 7:00 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \nCrosstown Arts is requests that guests are fully vaccinated or have taken a negative Covid test before attending this event. Masks are suggested.  \nThird Coast Percussion joins forces with the groundbreaking choreography of Movement Art Is\, interpreted by Cameron Murphy & Quintet Robinson\, for an intimate\, evening-length program that explores the duality of human nature. At once intensely personal and fiercely virtuosic\, two disparate styles of street dance blend seamlessly with new music by Jlin and Tyondai Braxton\, as well as Third Coast Percussion’s critically-acclaimed arrangements of Philip Glass’s Aguas da Amazonia. \nThis performance is made possible in part by an Arts Build Communities grant from Arts Memphis and the Tennessee Arts Commission with additional support from Concerts International. \nAbout Third Coast Percussion: \nThird Coast Percussion is a Grammy Award-winning Chicago-based percussion quartet. For over fifteen years\, the ensemble has created exciting and unexpected performances that constantly redefine the classical music experience. The ensemble has been praised for “commandingly elegant” (New York Times) performances\, the “rare power” (Washington Post) of their recordings\, and “an inspirational sense of fun and curiosity” (Minnesota Star-Tribune). Third Coast Percussion maintains a busy tour schedule\, with past performances in 38 of the 50 states and Washington\, D.C.\, plus international tour dates in Canada\, Colombia\, Hong Kong\, Germany\, Italy\, Lithuania\, the Netherlands\, Poland\, Taiwan\, and the United Kingdom. \nA direct connection with the audience is at the core of all of Third Coast Percussion’s work\, whether the musicians are speaking from the stage about a new piece of music\, inviting the audience to play along in a concert or educational performance\, or inviting their fans around the world to create new music using one of their free mobile apps. The four members of Third Coast are also accomplished teachers\, and make active participation by all students the cornerstone of all their educational offerings. The quartet’s curiosity and eclectic taste have led to a series of unlikely collaborations that have produced exciting new art. The ensemble has worked with engineers at the University of Notre Dame\, architects at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation\, dancers at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago\, and musicians from traditions ranging from the mbira music of Zimbabwe’s Shona people\, to indie rockers and footwork producers\, to some of the world’s leading concert musicians. Third Coast Percussion served as ensemble-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center from 2013-2018\, and currently serves as ensemble-in-residence at Denison University. \nThe four members of Third Coast Percussion (Sean Connors\, Robert Dillon\, Peter Martin\, and David Skidmore) met while studying percussion music at Northwestern University with Michael Burritt and James Ross. Members of Third Coast also hold degrees from the Eastman School of Music\, Rutgers University\, the New England Conservatory\, and the Yale School of Music. \nAbout Movement Art Is: \nCofounded by Jon Boogz and Lil Buck\, MAI (Movement Art Is) is an organization that uses movement artistry to inspire and change the world\, while elevating the artistic\, educational\, and social impact of dance. Through movement art films\, workshops\, performances\, and exhibitions\, MAI is resetting the spectrum of what dance is.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH at Crosstown Theater. \nFred Schepisi / 1978 / 120 minutes / Rated R \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nFred Schepisi’s internationally-acclaimed 1978 period masterpiece is Australia’s canonical equivalent of 12 YEARS A SLAVE. Visually enthralling and emotionally resonant filmmaking\, with a central violent eruption that still shakes audiences to their core. THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH is the shocking tale of an Aboriginal man driven to madness and revenge. Jimmie (Tommy Lewis) is a young half-caste raised in the early 20th century countryside — a boy initiated by his tribe but educated by a stern minister. Jimmy finds a white bride while performing back-breaking farm work\, but cannot escape racist oppression. Fired without pay and discovering that he may not be the true father of his child\, Jimmy cuts a bloody path of retribution through the society which forsook him. \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nCrosstown Arts is requesting proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test for this event. Please be prepared to present your vaccination card or a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours at check-in.

SUMMARY:Nate Smith + KINFOLK + strings at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Nate Smith + KINFOLK + strings at Crosstown Theater\, featuring members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis very special performance will be recorded and filmed for Jazz Night in America\, a public radio program and video concert documentary series from NPR Music\, WBGO\, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. \n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30pm | Show begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $35 advance | $40 day of show \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThis special performance features Nate Smith (drums)\, Jon Cowherd (piano)\, Fima Ephron (bass)\, Jaleel Shaw (alto & soprano saxophones)\, Amma Whatt (vocals)\, Brad Allen Williams (guitar) with musicians of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. \n“On drums\, Nate Smith is in the business of inspiring. Far from flashy\, he’s an ebullient technician who keys into the subtleties of his bandmates’ playing and laces joie de vivre into his own.” – New York Times \n2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated drummer/composer/producer Nate Smith has announced the release of his inspired new album\, Kinfolk 2: See The Birds. The highly anticipated follow up to 2017’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated Kinfolk: Postcards From Everywhere arrives via Edition Records on Friday\, September 17. \nTo herald the release of Kinfolk 2: See The Birds\, Smith is sharing the album’s first single\, the hip-hop centric “Square Wheel\,” which finds Smith juggling odd-meter beats in unison with rapper Kokayi’s intrepid rhythmic cadence along side singer Michael Mayo’s impassioned vocals as well as Brad Allen on guitar\, bassist Fima Ephron\, saxophonist Jaleel Shaw and Jon Cowherd on keys. A companion music video filmed in the recording studio is streaming on YouTube now. \nKinfolk 2: See the Birds affirms Nate Smith as one of the most dynamic drummers\, insightful composers\, and engaging bandleaders of his generation\, adept across infinite genres and multiple styles. The album sees Smith joined by an array of diverse fellow artists\, including singers Brittany Howard\, Amma Whatt\, legendary guitarist Vernon Reid\, violinist Regina Carter\, vibraphonist Joel Ross\, rapper Kokayi\, and\, Michael Mayo\, and Stokley Williams (of the pioneering R&B band Mint Condition). \nKinfolk 2: See the Birds marks the second installment in a remarkable trilogy charting Smith’s continuing evolution as a musician and composer. While Kinfolk: Postcards From Everywhere touched upon Smith’s childhood in Chesapeake\, VA\, and the sounds that he absorbed in his family home\, the new album offers an impressionistic portrait of the artist as a young man considering his future in music. Those years saw Smith inspired by the diverse and eclectic riches of Prince and Michael Jackson\, hip-hop and the emerging neo-soul movement\, as well as music associated with the groundbreaking Black Rock Coalition such as Living Colour (whose trailblazing founder\, Vernon Reid\, appears on the new album’s menacing “Rambo”). \nHowever\, Kinfolk 2 is no throwback – Smith reconciles his teenaged influences with the modern jazz sensibilities that he’s demonstrated with not just his solo material but as a sideman with such jazz titans as guitarist Pat Metheny\, bassist Dave Holland\, and saxophonists Ravi Coltrane and Chris Potter. Recorded mostly in two band sessions – June 2019 at Sear Sound in New York City and February 2020 at the Bunker Studio in Brooklyn – the album projects a dreamy\, cinematic sensibility as the music ebbs and flows from wistful downtempo excursions to rugged hip-hop beats\, hypnotic alt-rock leaning tunes to amorous laments. Kinfolk 2 boasts a slightly different lineup for its core ensemble than its predecessor. Saxophonist Jaleel Shaw and bassist Fima Ephron return\, while Smith welcomes guitarist Brad Allen Williams and keyboardist Jon Cowherd to the combo.

SUMMARY:Makaya McCraven at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents drummer\, producer\, and sonic collagist Makaya McCraven at Crosstown Theater on May 14\, 2022.\n\nDoors open at 6:30pm  | Performance begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $30 in advance | $35 day of the show\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\n\n\n\nCrosstown Arts is  currently requiring proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event. At-home and rapid tests are accepted. Masks encouraged.\n\nMakaya McCraven is a beat scientist. The bleeding edge drummer\, producer\, and sonic collagist is one of Chicago’s savviest cultural players and a multi-talented force whose inventive process & intuitive\, cinematic style defy categorization.\n\nCalled “a sound visionary” (jazzinchicago.org) who is “not your everyday jazz drummer”(thewordisbond.com)\, McCraven brilliantly moves between genres and pushes the boundaries of jazz and rhythm to create forms of his own.\n\nFrench-born but raised in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts by expatriate musician parents\, McCraven studied Jazz at the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the mentorship of jazz luminaries Archie Shepp\, Marion Brown\, and Yusef Lateef\, and eventually went on to develop his chops in Chicago’s burgeoning scene.\n\nHis breakthrough album In the Moment was released with International Anthem RecordingCo. (IARC) in 2015 and subsequently hailed by Turntable Lab as “one of the most important recordings to date in the modern Jazz world.” In The Moment was a dramatic statement byMcCraven\, where he debuted a unique brand of “organic beat music” that quickly launched him into the vanguard of not only Internationally-known jazz artists\, but also a niche genre of next-wave composer-producers blurring the boundaries of jazz & electronic music.\n\nHis recent album releases\, the DJ-style mixtape Highly Rare (IARC\, 2017) as well as an internationally recorded Where We Come From (CHICAGOxLONDON Mixtape) (IARC\, 2018)have been well received by music affectionados all over the world.“ Makaya McCraven is a Chicago staple\, owing some of his rise to the city’s fervent jazz community\, but with Where We Come From\, McCraven and his band have transcended locale. Jazz belongs to the world\, it exists wherever we come from.” (Will Schube\, Passion of the Weiss)\n\nMcCraven has shared stages with artists such as Corey Wilkes\, Bobby (Baabe) Irving (MilesDavis)\, Ari Brown\, and Bernie Worrell and played in some of the world’s best clubs\, festivals and arenas. Yet despite the accolades and fervent touring\, McCraven’s focus remains on both creating music and moving the culture forward.\n\n“As a person of mixed race\, nationality\, and ethnicity I want my identity and contributions to paint a world not bound by genre\, race or national boundaries but unified through a love of music culture and community. Tethered by legacies of the past but looking towards a new\, more universal future.”\n\n\n\n\n\nMakaya McCraven continues the development of his “organic beat music” as well as the work of (what Schube described as) “transcending locale” on his most recent releaseUniversal Beings. A 2xLP album that was recorded at 4 sessions in New York\, Chicago\,London & Los Angeles\, Universal Beings features an A-list of “new” jazz players from those hotbed cities: Brandee Younger\, Tomeka Reid\, Dezron Douglas\, Joel Ross\, Shabaka Hutchings\, Junius Paul\, Nubya Garcia\, Daniel Casimir\, Ashley Henry\, Josh Johnson\, Jeff Parker\, Anna Butters\, Carlos Niño and Miguel-Atwood Ferguson.\n\nwww.MakayaMcCraven.com
