It proved to be fertile ground\, providing him with access to many of the giants of jazz and landing him in some of the most hallowed venues in the country like Smalls\, Birdland and Iridium. During his tenure in the City\, he shared a stage with a litany of stars like Esperanza Spaulding\, Corcoran Holt\, Ulysses Owens Jr\, Billy Johnson\, Gregory Porter and highly lauded fellow Memphian Kirk Whalum. \nIn addition to his performance credentials\, he served as Musical Director for Manhattan’s Crenshaw Christian Center under the leadership of Dr. Fredrick Price (one of the most well-known names in ministry).  In New York\, he rounded out his studies with a Bachelor’s in Jazz Performance from City College and a Master’s degree in Education from Freed Hardeman University. \nUpon his move to Memphis in 2009\, the growth\, opportunities\, and accolades continued. In 2012\, Stephen received the Rhythm of Gospel Award. In 2013\, he was nominated for First Round in the Stellar Gospel Awards for his album debut\, Music in the Key of my Life.  In 2017\, he won the Steinway and Sons Top Teacher Award and the Jimmie Lunceford Legacy Award. \nEven still\, he moves forward in the spirit of service and humility\, firmly committed to the youth and music arts community in Memphis. He values the importance and impact of the arts for young people\, which understands firsthand. He says\, “Being connected to something you feel passionate about makes a huge difference in a kid’s life. \nLee is also Founder/CEO of the Memphis Jazz Workshop\, a non-profit organization committed to cultivating young musicians by providing learning and performance opportunities with professional artists while embracing Jazz as our regional art form. Memphis Jazz Workshop was formed under the umbrella of LeeJazzOmega. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Strictly Jazz:\nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. We facilitate dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community. We provide a bridge between leading artists and a community that typically does not embrace jazz by promoting concerts in various venues to generate an atmosphere that is viable for the absorption of pure jazz.

SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Gabe Mayhan on Cinematography
DESCRIPTION:Gabe Mayhan is a cinematographer who shoots features\, documentaries\, shorts\, television shows\, and commercials. Join Gabe as he discusses setting up shots\, camera and lens choices\, lighting\, working with directors\, directing documentaries\, creating a sustainable career as a cinematographer in a fly-over state\, and his involvement in the Arkansas Film Society. \nDoors at 6:30 pm | presentation at 7 pm \nShoot & Splice is a monthly forum for film makers presented by Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts. \n\nAbout Gabe Mayhan:\nGabe Mayhan has compiled a diverse body of work over the course of his cinematography career. Whether it was from his time covering breaking news\, to shooting in remote locations in South America for an adventure show\, or crafting stylistic narrative stories\, he approaches each project with dutiful ambition\, respectful collaboration\, and innovative technique. His work has been screened at film festivals such as Slamdance and Tribeca\, broadcast on networks the likes of HBO\, Showtime and PBS\, and screened theatrically across the US. Many of the films have been recognized and awarded for the cinematography. \n2016 was a pretty big year for Gabe\, having two films released theatrically\, Greater and Lazy Eye. Greater is a heartfelt drama set in the world of college football. And Lazy Eye\, a bittersweet romance about reconnecting with a lost love. Although very different in style and content\, both films have been well-received. Gabe also returned behind the lens for the second season of  Mineral Explorers\, a travel show that explores the origins and geological stories of minerals from around the world. \nOther forthcoming works are the feature films All the Birds Have Flown South\, a southern gothic drama that deals with despair and addiction\, and Antiquities\, a coming-of-age story about a young man encountering loss and finding himself in the journey. \nWhether behind the lens or in the director’s chair\, his work on documentaries is gaining attention as well. In 2012\, he shot All About Ann\, an HBO documentary chronicling the life and legacy of Texas Governor Ann Richards\, and Champion Trees\, a documentary for PBS that explores the relationship between art and nature. The show captured two Emmys for Cultural Documentary and Cinematography in 2014. Slated to air spring of 2017\, the documentary Dream Land tells the history of an African American neighborhood during segregation and the lasting impact of Urban Renewal. In both Champion Trees and Dream Land\, Gabe held double duties as the films’ director and cinematographer. \nGabe’s unique vision and strong understanding of story have quickly gained the interest of filmmakers and audiences around the country. He brings an understanding that each project has its own way to be crafted visually\, and within each story there is a unique opportunity to evolve the narrative emotionally through the cinematography\, allowing the film to be seen — in its best light.

SUMMARY:901 Ringers Handbell Choir
DESCRIPTION:Performance of holiday music and carols by the 901 Ringers Handbell Choir. \nWith up to 12 ringers\, this seasoned group of musicians can perform both religious and secular pieces. Unlike an orchestra or choir in which each musician is responsible for one line of the texture\, a handbell ensemble acts as one instrument\, with each musician responsible for particular notes\, sounding his or her assigned bells whenever that note appears in the music. \nStick around after the performance for Memphis Holiday Bones\, a holiday trombone concert by the Bluff City Trombone Collective\, in The Green Room.

SUMMARY:Point in Time — Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception for an exhibition of video art by Janaye Brown.\nLocation: Screening Room\, plus pop-out film panels in the East Atrium \nPoint in Time presents sixteen of Brown’s minimalist videos made within the past seven years. Brown makes videos based on pregnant moments observed in her everyday life. Her filmmaking background informs the techniques used to build and sustain a sense of anticipation while emphasizing the passage of time. Through an extended look at a narrative fragment\, often with a single action as its focus\, the subtlest shifts become prominent\, and the viewer has time to examine everything within the mise-en-scène. She seeks access to the tension and mystique that lay beneath the surface of familiarity. \nAbout the artist:\nJanaye Brown has exhibited at venues and film festivals including New York City’s Studio Museum Harlem\, the Dallas Video Fest\, The Banff Centre in Alberta\, Canada and Shulamit Nazarian in Los Angeles. She has participated in residencies at the Skowhegan School of\nPainting and Sculpture\, the Bruce High Quality Foundation University and Crosstown Arts as well as others. Brown received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and her BA in Cinematic Arts and Technology from California State University Monterey Bay in 2010. She currently lives and works in Xiamen\, Fujian\, China.
