SUMMARY:MAJOR.
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents  MAJOR. in The Green Room\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, March 21\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $30 in advance (plus fees) |$35 at the door\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\nHis name is MAJOR. and his impact the same. The American Soul singer’s star fiercely struck at the debut of his Platinum hit love song\, “Why I Love You”. As Stevie Wonder projected: lovers from all over the world have commissioned the breakout ballad as the perfect soundtrack for their own love stories. MAJOR. (as both actor & singer) is a powerful storyteller who leans into a cool authenticity as his superpower. Amazingly\, he has become a trusted artist for many while inspiring hearts with his relatable message of life laced in that signature falsetto! The joy is infectious and as a “Hope Dealer”\, he leads boldly with the very HOPE in LOVE his music professes. With half a billion digital streams\, 4 independent solo projects\, network TV shows\, movies\, legendary cosigns\, national tours\, & the MAJOR.HOPE Foundation -MAJOR. is far from done. “The Hope Of My Soul” EP is his most recent artistic expression that intersects soul\, gospel\, and Americana – “Baby Will You Love Me”\, “I Prayed For You”\, and the newly released hope anthem “Joy In The Battle” are proof… The GRAMMY\, 2x Soul Train\, and 8x Image Award nominated entertainer promises a whole lot more to come. And it can only be as mighty as the name his mama gave him: MAJOR.!

SUMMARY:Nanocluster (Immersion | SUSS)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Nanocluster in The Green Room \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nTuesday\, March 18\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIn celebration of the release of Nanocluster Vol.3\, Immersion (Colin Newman & Malka Spigel) in collaboration with ambient country masters SUSS bring their Nanocluster series to North America. One performance comprising a set each from Immersion & SUSS followed by a collaborative set. \n\n\nNanocluster is the extension of Colin and Malka’s relationship\, friendships and commitment to art and ideas. They initially met when Colin produced Malka’s band in 1985. The collaboration started there. They then became a couple and created their own projects\, like the instrumental electronic duo Immersion\, in 1994. \n\nThe songs had been written and rehearsed prior to each performance. This adventure led to a debut album\, Nanocluster Vol 1\, released in 2021 with Stereolab singer/guitarist Laetitia Sadier\, German post-rock duo Tarwater\, electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss and experimental artist Robin Rimbaud (Scanner).  \nNanocluster Vol 2 further developed this idea with a stark beauty that sounds like a future pop with sleek lines and unexpected great melodies. Built around Thor Harris\, the charismatic percussion player from Swans and many other projects\, and Cubzoa (Jack Wolter from the band Penelope Isles).  \nKey to the process is Colin and Malka’s radio show for Slack City radio\, Swimming In Sound with its entertainingly diverse playlist that has widened their horizons. It’s also helped build relationships not only with these collaborators but also musicians like the ambient country masters SUSS\, with whom they have produced Nanocluster Vol.3 which will be released in mid February 2025 followed by extended Nanocluster tour in the USA.  \nMalka: “Nanocluster is collaboration but in a very specific form. We don’t have rules. It’s a series of creative snapshots.” \nColin: “It’s chemistry & music. Malka & I operate as a team and now we’ve taken it to another level.” \nNanocluster is a 21st century collusion of shared ideas\, creating a momentary extended musical family. It’s about musical and personal relationships and the meeting place in the middle. A temporary band of house guests. SUSS just moved\, in ideas merged and new soundscapes were forged. This is the place where Immersion happens.

SUMMARY:Strictly Jazz: The Music of Michael Brecker
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Strictly Jazz: The Music of Michael Brecker \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFebruary 15\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nMichael Brecker was a highly influential American jazz saxophonist and composer. He was known for his technical brilliance\, soulful playing\, and ability to seamlessly blend jazz and pop elements. Brecker’s contributions to both jazz and pop music have solidified his place as one of the most important musicians of his generation and one of\, if not the most important\, saxophonists post-John Coltrane that the world has ever known. \nPaying homage to Brecker for one night only is a group led by internationally recognized saxophonist Adam Larson\, who was first inspired to pursue a career in saxophone after hearing a Brecker solo while on the way to a travel basketball game. Says Larson: “I asked my dad what instrument was soloing\, and I could not believe that it was a saxophone! I remember telling my dad that I don’t know if I’d ever get to that level\, but I wanted to try”. Such was the impetus that jumpstarted the career of Larson\, who at age 35 has recorded on dozens of albums\, releasing ten under his own name. Frequently touring the country\, Larson is excited to return to the Green Room with a stellar band that includes Grammy-Award-winning bassist and frequent Larson collaborator Clark Sommers as well as local stalwarts pianist Alvie Givhan and drummer James Sexton. \nAsked about the musical selections for the February 15th outing\, Larson says he will pull from some of his favorite Brecker recordings with special consideration to Brecker’s album “The Nearness of You: The Ballad Book”\, timely for the Valentine’s Day holiday.

DESCRIPTION:Iris Collective presents Say It Loud: The Overlook Quartet in The Green Room \nThe Theater at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, January 16\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: pay what you wish! \nPAY WHAT YOU WISH \nMonica Davis\, violin\nYezu Woo\, violin\nAngela Pickett\, viola\nLaura Metcalf\, cello \nThe “breathtaking\,” “paradigm-shifting” (New York Music Daily) string quartet The Overlook is a unifying\, community-building force\, whose dedication to a more representative musical tradition reverberates throughout their industry. \nThe Overlook formed from a simple need to make and share music with others during the pandemic shutdown. The longtime friends\, some of New York’s most accomplished string players\, gathered to play outdoors in parks and on street corners in upper Manhattan\, and their community stopped to listen. Through these casual outdoor performances\, they built a following in person and on social media\, connected with local businesses and residential enclaves\, and partnered with important neighborhood cultural centers for their first official performances. They witnessed firsthand the power of music to unite and inspire – all without playing a single note of the string quartet repertoire that has been held up as “standard” for hundreds of years. \nSince their inception in June 2020\, The Overlook has worked to effect permanent change in the “classical music canon” by developing a body of repertoire composed by BIPOC\, female\, and non-binary creators. The quartet has presented masterworks from the past by Florence Price\, Samuel-Coleridge-Taylor\, and Chevalier de Saint-Georges\, as well as works by living composers Trevor Weston\, Eleanor Alberga\, Carlos Simon\, Jessie Montgomery\, Shelley Washington\, Leila Adu\, Forbes Graham\, and many more. The Overlook has enjoyed collaborating with such artists as New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill\, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline\, multi-Grammy nominee Curtis Stewart\, and noted visual artist Linda Sormin. To support their work\, the quartet has been awarded grants by the Eastman School of Music\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Bronx Council on the Arts and Local 802’s Music Performance Trust Fund. \nThe Overlook has developed and presented a new performance series “If the Stars Align” in Uptown-NYC\, with concerts at Washington Heights/Inwood cultural institutions including Hispanic Society of America\, Morris-Jumel Mansion\, Dyckman Farmhouse Museum\, Fort Washington Collegiate Church\, and United Palace Theatre. The quartet recently brought their mission to Lincoln Center at Kaufman Music Center’s “Musical Storefronts”\, Chamber Music NY at Bruno Walter Auditorium\, GatherNYC at the Museum of Arts and Design\, Symphony Space\, Fotografiska New York\, and Wave Hill. Further afield\, the quartet has performed at Chatter ABQ\, WOCO Fest\, The Arts Club of DC\, Music for Montauk\, Mass MoCA\, LeHigh University\, Tuckamore Festival in NL\, Canada\, as well as in a virtual performance presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art that has been streamed nearly 70\,000 times. \nBy building relationships with composers and championing new works\, collaborating with interdisciplinary creators\, re-thinking the concert experience to include non-traditional spaces\, and consistently engaging with their Uptown NYC community\, The Overlook upholds its mission to create a more representative and relevant musical practice.
