SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents MADE IN ENGLAND
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents a screening of Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, August 29\, 2024\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Films begin at 7:00 pm (sharp!) \nDavid Hinton / 2024 / 131 minutes / Not Rated \nMartin Scorsese first encountered the films of Powell and Pressburger when he was a child\, sitting in front of the family TV. When their famous logo came up on screen\, Scorsese says\, “You knew you were in for fantasy\, wonder\, magic – real film magic.” Now\, in this documentary\, he tells the story of his lifelong love-affair with their movies\, including The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp\, Black Narcissus\, The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffmann. \n“Certain films you simply run all the time and you live with them.” Scorsese says. “As you grow older they grow deeper. I’m not sure how it happens\, but it does. For me\, that body of work is a wondrous presence\, a constant source of energy\, and a reminder of what life and art are all about.” Drawing on a rich array of archive material\, Scorsese explores in full the collaboration between the Englishman Powell and the Hungarian Pressburger – two romantics and idealists\, who thrived in the face of adversity during World War II but were eventually brought low by the film industry of the 1950s. Scorsese celebrates their ability to create “subversive commercial movies” and describes how deeply their films have influenced his own work.” \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents RETURN TO REASON: THE SHORT FILMS OF MAN RAY
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents a screening of Return to Reason: The Short Films of Man Ray in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, August 22\, 2024\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Films begin at 7:00 pm (sharp!) \nMan Ray / 2023 / 70 minutes / Not Rated  \nThe four films Man Ray directed between 1923 and 1929\, Le Retour à la raison\, Emak-Bakia\, L’Étoile de mer and Les Mystères du Château du Dé represent a high watermark of early European avant-garde cinema\, a seminal nexus of experimental technique\, surrealist narrative\, and playful abstraction as suffused with dark eroticism. In these films Ray began discovering the limitless possibilities of montage as well as the direct application onto celluloid of objects such as salt\, pepper\, pins\, and thumbtacks. Juxtaposing undulating geometric patterns\, a twirling fairground ride\, and a female nude\, among other striking images\, Ray finds subconscious correspondences among seemingly incongruous materials and figures. In celebration of the hundredth anniversary of Le Retour à la raison\, the Jim Jarmusch-Carter Logan combo Sqürl present Man Ray: Return to Reason\, with a newly-recorded drone rock soundtrack for that title as well as the three other Ray films. The band’s cosmic sounds complement Ray’s work by conjuring the beautiful\, ineffable\, haunting\, and sublime. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y’all: Pierce Pettis
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Folk All Y’all present Pierce Pettis in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, August 10\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter a lifetime of crafting finely-wrought\, heart-touching songs\, singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis (he/him) feels that he’s finally found his comfort zone. “The biggest change\,” he says of this point in his career “has been getting over myself and realizing this is a job and a craft. And the purpose is not fame and fortune (whatever that is) but simply doing good work.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“From the time I was very little\, I always had the music going in my head\,” Pettis explains. “In school\, I met other kids who wanted to be rock stars\, just like me.  From the time we were around 10 or so up through high school\, we put together various bands — all of them horrible.” \nHis “horrible” bands didn’t deter him though and even though he had a nagging feeling  (“I thought I was supposed to be a doctor or something.”) he persevered\, not only playing music but writing songs in a mix of rock\, folk\, country and R&B genres that landed him an unpaid position as a staff writer for Muscle Shoals Sounds Studios. While there\, his track “Song at the End of the Movie” found its way to Joan Baez’s 1979 album Honest Lullaby. \nPettis hit the road and became a member of the “Fast Folk” movement in New York in the mid-1980s and was a staff songwriter for PolyGram from 1993-2000.  Pierce Pettis’ songs have been recorded by artists including Susan Ashton\, Dar Williams\, Garth Brooks and Art Garfunkel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Green Room: Operated by Crosstown Arts\, The Green Room is committed to providing the best possible environment for the two most important components of a musical performance: the artists work and the audiences listening experience. \nAbout Folk All Y’all: Intimate\, attentive performances by exceptional singer-songwriters\, proudly presented in Memphis\, Folk All Y’all is a public\, nonprofit listening room series supported by our pledges from our community. \nEntry requirements may change but your purchase indicates acceptance of any necessary health policy.

SUMMARY:Modern Masters Jazz Series: Roland Barber and The Ted Ludwig Trio
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Modern Masters Jazz Series: Roland Barber and The Ted Ludwig Trio in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nWednesday\, August 7\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door | $10 student tickets \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nNative of Nashville\, TN\, known around the world as “Music City\,” trombonist Roland Barber enjoys a career full of diverse and exciting musical pursuits at the highest level. Roland has achieved a powerful\, soulful and spiritual artistry as a jazz performer\, so much so that Curtis Fuller (John Coltrane’s only trombonist) exclaimed upon hearing him\, “Now THAT’s what jazz trombone is all about!”  Roland’s style is a synthesis of jazz’s finest elements – sporting a keen\, fluent command of the bebop language\, tempered with a compelling sense of melodic “voice” that’s rooted in the swagger and soul of the blues and swing traditions. Roland employs a warm\, personal tone that is lyrical and full\, yet ready to burn with heat and intensity when the moment presents itself.  Roland is also known for his masterful plunger-mute playing – a gem in the music of jazz that goes back to Tricky Sam Nanton of Ellington’s orchestra and a study has been passed down the generations\, most directly to Roland through mentors Steve Turre and Al Grey. \nBarber has performed with titans of jazz music as well as young lions\, including Stefon Harris\, Sean Jones\, Clark Terry\, Branford Marsalis\, Houston Person\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center\, the Duke Ellington Orchestra\, the Chico O’Farill Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra\, Lainie Cooke and the Grammy-winning New Orleans Jazz Ensemble. Barber has performed in venues the world over\, from Manhattan to Estonia\, including Carnegie Hall\, Birdland\, the Blue Note\, Lincoln Center\, the Kennedy Center\, and Madison Square Garden. Television appearances include MTV’s Making the Band\, NBC’s Saturday Night Live\, CBS’ Today Show and the ESPN Awards. Beyond the jazz realm\, Roland has performed with a stylistically broad “who’s who” of the music scene\, including the Wooten Brothers\, Slavic Soul Party\, Lauryn Hill\, the Nashville Symphony\, Lady A\, Melinda Doolittle\, Chaka Khan\, Aretha Franklin\, Lauren Daigle\, Taj Mahal\, Keb’ Mo\, the Wood Brothers\, Cissy Houston\, La India\, Roberto Blades\, Take 6\, Ladysmith Black Mambazo\, Kirk Whalum\, the NBC Saturday Night Live Band and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. \nAlongside being a compelling performer\, Barber is also a celebrated composer and arranger\, and was awarded a New Works Jazz Grant from Chamber Music America\, which led to the writing and premier of his first extended suite\, Songs of the Village\, written for quintet. This suite saw its world premiere at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club in 2010. \nHaving relocated back to Nashville\, TN after a seven year tenure in NYC\, Roland is now a mainstay in the Nashville studio scene\, having recorded in almost every genre imaginable. Roland’s  combination of experience and talent that puts him at the top of the city’s list when brass performance is needed.  Despite the global difficulties of 2020\, Roland celebrated the first year of recording on EVERY brass instrument (from trumpet to tuba) in the studio\, and is trailblazing a path as a one-man\, multi-instrumentalist brass machine. \nRoland also is quite active in education circles\, having taught for Manhattan School of Music\, the Nashville Symphony\, Vanderbilt University\, Nashville Notes and the Nashville Jazz Workshop.  Roland has given masterclasses around the country at venues including Vanderbilt University\, University of North Carolina\, University of Michigan\, Middle TN State University\, Tennessee State University\, and others.  An educational highlight\, Roland gave a masterclass/clinic for the 2021 JEN Clinic entitled\, “The Voice of the Plunger\,” where he detailed the history and development of the language of the storied mute’s history in jazz.  Beginning with the inception of the mute in Ellington’s early bands\, Roland traced the development of plunger artistry through to the modern master practitioners that helped shape his own approach\, most notably Clark Terry\, Al Grey and Steve Turre. Roland can be found now leading his own bands throughout the region\, be it his small group jazz quartet/quintet\, his NOLA-inspired Righteous Few Brass Band\, or his Salsa-In-English band\, Souvenir. \nBarber holds an M.M. in Jazz Studies from Manhattan School of Music (2005)\, as well as an Artist Diploma (2003) and B.M. in Jazz Studies (2001)\, both from Indiana University.

SUMMARY:Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, June 21\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDead Soldiers is an eight-piece band from Memphis\, Tennessee\, whose eclectic compositions feature a rock’n’roll core that lifts five-part vocal harmonies\, horns and strings to create a wall of sound. Building on the musical traditions of the Delta and the melting pot aesthetic that first made Memphis the home of rock and roll\, their music is at once irreverent and uniquely American. While firmly rooted in the modern urban South\, they draw heavily from the inspiration of a range of artists: Tom Waits to The Band\, John Prine and Bob Dylan to Frank Zappa and Randy Newman. Like Dead Soldiers\, they’re all artists who refuse to be easily classified. With humor\, cynicism and an underlying foundation of humanity\, Dead Soldiers’ songs root for the underdog while skewering the hypocrisy of the post-modern media landscape. \n\nOn the heels of their first new music release since 2017 — Dead Soldiers: Ride EP — the band also has a video premiere on June 6 at the Memphis Listening Lab. Recognized for their raucous and rowdy shows\, they seldom get to perform a fair bit of their catalog that is more conducive to a listening room environment. This show will feature many of Dead Soldiers’ least-performed songs and unique arrangements of existing songs in their live repertoire.

It is the first movie I know about that combines (1) punk teenagers\, (2) automobile repossessors\, and (3) aliens from outer space. This is the kind of movie that baffles Hollywood\, because it isn’t made from any known formula and doesn’t follow the rules.” — Roger Ebert \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y’all: Jessye DeSilva
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Folk All Y’all present Jessye DeSilva in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, June 15\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\n\n\nJessye DeSilva (she/they)’s new\, crowdfunded album\, Renovations\, chronicles an ongoing\, imperfect journey to self-love and -acceptance\, full of both moments of resignation and moments of triumph. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeSilva\, a non-binary\, trans person and the child of a preacher whose conservative religion left no room for their personhood\, examines identity and trauma and reckons with privilege and marginalization across 11 songs that draw from both their classical vocal training and work as a voice teacher for musical theater students at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music and their love of ’90s emo and pop-rock. The 2023 Nashville Scene artist to watch and 2022 Boston Music Awards Americana Artist of the Year nominee put queer and trans empowerment at the very heart of Renovations\, both in their encouraging\, vulnerable lyrics and in the musicians they enlisted to play on their songs.
