SUMMARY:Deepstaria Enigmatica
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Deepstaria Enigmatica: Memphibians Rising from the Mud\, Making Musical Moods in the Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, March 11\, 2023\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDeepstaria Enigmatica is a quintet of improvisers from Memphis\, Tennessee\, dedicated to creating otherworldly soundscapes. Named for a rarely seen\, bell-shaped jellyfish discovered by Jacques Cousteau\, the group’s every note is inspired by that famous ocean explorer’s sense of discovery. But don’t assume the five veteran musicians create only chaos: they are as attuned to melodies and harmonies as they are to fine gradations of noise. What emerges with each extemporaneous performance can range from dark swirls of frenetic fury\, to interplanetary hard bop\, to sunlit\, ambient dreamscapes punctuated with snatches of folk song. \nThe diverse experience of the players sets the tone for their deep dives: \nDavid Collins is the composer and guitarist behind Frog Squad\, a Memphis group who have blended jazz improvisation with visionary music as disparate as that of Horace Silver and Erik Satie; he’s equally at home playing simple\, unfettered guitar lines or rocking\, effects-drenched rave ups. \nChad Fowler played alto saxophone with both Frank Lowe and George Cartwright in the 1990s\, and now teams up with the likes of William Parker\, Kidd Jordan\, Ivo Perelman\, Zoh Amba\, Matthew Shipp\, or Brian Blade for music released on the Mahakala Music label; in Deepstaria Enigmatica\, he also plays bass flute and an Otamatone portable synthesizer. \nKeyboardist Alex Greene first studied musique concrète and computer synthesis with composer Judy Klein in the 1980s\, before playing in a variety of Memphis groups ranging from Alex Chilton to Big Ass Truck to Reigning Sound\, not to mention over twenty years of work with New York composer Dave Soldier; now he improvises with multiple keyboards simultaneously\, including a vintage Roland Juno-106. \nSince completing his jazz studies at the University of Memphis in 2016\, drummer Jon Harrison has cast a wide stylistic net with the groups he’s joined\, which include the Southern Comfort Jazz Orchestra\, Frog Squad\, Hope Calyburn’s Soul Scrimmage\, Joe Austin\, Roderick Duran\, PXLS\, and the Church Brothers. \nBassist Khari Wynn\, best known as the guitarist for hip hop sensations Public Enemy\, regularly tests more unorthodox waters with groups such as Energy Disciples\, often under the name Mysterioso Africano. \nTogether\, these five musos cohere with a surprising unity of purpose\, as their listening and playing gel into what often sound like prepared compositions. Sharing an uncanny telepathy\, they transport listeners to new worlds of musical possibility.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE at Crosstown Theater. \nLuis Buñuel / 1972 / 102 minutes / PG \nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nIn Luis Buñuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece\, an upper-middle-class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually delayed\, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined\, including terrorist attacks\, military maneuvers\, and ghostly apparitions. Stringing together a discontinuous\, digressive series of absurdist set pieces\, Buñuel and his screenwriting partner Jean-Claude Carrière send a cast of European-film greats — including Fernando Rey\, Stéphane Audran\, Delphine Seyrig\, Jean-Pierre Cassel\, and Bulle Ogier — through a maze of desire deferred\, frustrated\, and interrupted. The Oscar-winning pinnacle of Buñuel’s late-career ascent as a feted maestro of the international art house\, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is also one of his most gleefully radical assaults on the values of the ruling class. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Charu Suri Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Charu Suri in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, March 4\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 ($10 students) \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n“Charu’s raga-based improvisations are singular.” – Multi Grammy-award winning pianist Arturo O’Farrill \nPianist and composer Charu Suri treads fearlessly between genres\, pulling global influences that range from the mood-anchoring Indian ragas\, Sufi music\, to the trio. Her ground-breaking albums\, The Book of Ragas\, and its sequel\, The Book of Ragas vol. 2 have often elicited the response\, “I’ve never heard this type of sound before.” \nOne of the few female composers from India to perform work at Carnegie Hall\, Charu has lived in four continents\, and writes music that reflect her journey as both a traveler and her training as a classical music piano prodigy. She has been playing the piano since the age of five\, and performing since the age of nine\, and one of her best memories is winning an international piano competition at the age of 15. \nWhat started purely as an experiment with her “Book of Ragas” has turned into a niche that she is now increasingly becoming known for. Her latest album is RAGAS & WALTZES\, a first collaboration between her and Preservation Hall’s jazz drummer\, Joe Lastie. \nIn this album\, dedicated to her late father\, she explores European waltzes through her own jazz lens. The album also includes two ragas\, performed by guitarist Noshir Mody and flutes by Al Jewer. RAGAS & WALTZES has received a lot of praise from critics. JAZZIZ Magazine has praised its classic reinvention of the European waltz\, and All About Jazz said\, “These are all Suri originals\, with which she creates a mood that is a mix\, tune-by-tune\, of longing and solemnity\, then of a lilting and uplifting beauty\, segueing into tender reverence that shifts gear into a segment of lively swing before drifting back to loving respect. And that swing is surely inspired by New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s drummer\, Joe Lastie\, Jr.\, sitting in the recording session’s drummer’s chair.” \nBut she is no stranger to the art of the Songbook too (attribute this to her listening to numerous records of Bill Evans and Billie Holiday as a kid). “The New American Songbook” has garnered many awards\, including a “Band Single of the Year” crystal trophy for her song\, Bluesy\, awarded by the International Singer-Songwriters Association (ISSA) in 2021. \nCharu has performed at Lincoln Center and other prestigious concert halls around the world\, including St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She often performs with her band\, and sometimes as a soloist. She embarks on a multi-city RAGAS & WALTZES tour to India starting with a performance at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai\, on September 16th.

SUMMARY:*SOLD OUT* Patrice Williamson\, Jenna McLean\, and Deborah Swiney
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Patrice Williamson\, Jenna McLean\, and Deborah Swiney with the Michael Shults Quartet in the Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, March 3\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door | $10 student tickets available \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThree of the most legendary women in jazz unite for one special performance\, backed up by the Michael Shults Quartet. \nPATRICE WILLIAMSON \nJazz Times magazine states that “Patrice Williamson isn’t a singer\, she’s a one-woman jazz sampler. –­ She is a woman of many voices\, each distinctly intriguing all distinctly her own.” \nPatrice Williamson’s childhood home in Memphis\, Tennessee\, was filled with song. Her late father\, Webster Williamson\, an avid amateur singer\, choir director\, and pillar of the St. Stephen’s Baptist Church music ministry\, introduced his children to both sacred music and the secular styles of greats like Louis Armstrong\, Nat King Cole\, and Lena Horne. With the encouragement of her mother\, Lillie Rivers Williamson\, Patrice followed in the footsteps of her elder sister\, Denise\, taking up the violin and making her debut at age four. From then on\, she was hooked on music and performing. \nA favorite of the Boston music scene\, Patrice’s sensitive ballad work and fluent scat style have garnered invitations to perform at the famed Blue Note Jazz club in New York City\, and with many well-known instrumentalists such as Danilo Perez\, Joe Lovano and Terri Lyne Carrington. As a Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music\, her work has taken her to Perugia\, Italy\, Seoul\, South Korea\, Peru and India\, where she performed with saxophonist Donald Harrison in the New Delhi Jazz Festival. \nHer independent recordings\, My Shining Hour and Free to Dream\, have received high praise from jazz critics around the country. In 2014 Patrice started The Ella Project\, a multi-faceted tribute leading up to Ella Fitzgerald’s 100th birthday\, including a concert series\, biographical performance\, and recordings\, including Comes Love\, an album celebrating the collaboration between Fitzgerald and legendary guitarist Joe Pass. \nJENNA MCLEAN \nJenna McLean is a jazz vocalist and Lecturer in Music and Entertainment at the University of Memphis Lambuth in Jackson\, Tennessee. As an accomplished performer\, vocal technician\, songwriter\, and educator\, she finds her artistic drive in bringing new twists to timeless standards of the Great American Songbook as well as pop\, funk\, and soul tunes. With a love and devotion for jazz\, opera\, R&B\, and folk music\, she maintains the belief that all music is good music as long as it speaks to the soul and grooves. \nJenna was the 2019 winner of the Downbeat Student Music Awards Graduate Vocal Soloist Category\, and a 2019 recent recipient of the Pathways to Jazz Grant. She performs regularly at renowned Colorado Jazz Venues including Dazzle and Nocturne\, and has performed and presented multiple times at the Jazz Education Network conference and the Five Points Jazz Festival in Denver. She has had the pleasure of performing alongside renowned musicians such as Bobby McFerrin\, Aubrey Logan and the New York Voices\, and also performs regularly with incredible Denver-based jazz musicians such as Steve Kovalcheck\, Ben Markley\, Eric Gunnison\, Tom Amend\, Dawn Clement\, Annie Booth and others. \nDEBORAH SWINEY \nDeborah Swiney has definitely earned the title of a true chanteuse. Throughout her performance\, you get to enjoy a trip back to Harlem to experience the iconic era of Billie Holiday\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Sarah Vaughn; you get to dance across the Great American Songbook; and you get to take a flight to Rio where you could close your eyes and imagine relaxing on a Copacabana or Ipanema beach. Being a Memphis native\, you might even get a splash of blues. \nIn a city that loves its blues\, rock\, jazz\, and gospel\, Deborah has carved out a niche uniquely her own. This is evident with her highly praised co-produced debut album\, I Remember Rio\, a Brazilian-inspired album with “Memphis-Soul seasoning” (All about Jazz). I Remember Rio is filled with classic Bossa Nova standards and tunes written by the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim as well as Deborah Swiney’s “Bossa Nova Casanova” and guitarist\, Ed Finney’s title song\, “I Remember Rio”. Jazz Weekly describes her as bringing “ a strong and Sarah Vaughan-esque voice to deliver soulful reads of Brazilian…” Transcending the standard definition of a Jazz songstress\, her melodic and sultry approach to Bossa Nova and other Brazilian stylings are natural without betraying her Bluff City roots.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Resident Artist Talks
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, March 2\, 2023\nTalks begin at 6 pm\nTickets: Free \nCrosstown Arts resident artists will give presentations about their work in the Green Room at Crosstown Arts. The event is free and open to the public. \nSu-Yee Lin writes stories and poetry that grapple with issues of identity\, memory\, environment\, and mythology. Her work often lies on the border between the real and the strange\, and she is interested in the intersections between the surreal and the natural world. She was a Fulbright Fellow to China and has had work published in the Pushcart Prize anthology\, Tor.com\, Electric Literature\, Bennington Review\, Day One\, Nashville Review\, The Offing\, and other literary journals\, and short stories translated into Italian and Chinese. \nKeith S. Wilson is an Affrilachian Poet and a Cave Canem fellow. He is a recipient of an NEA Fellowship\, an Elizabeth George Foundation Grant\, and an Illinois Arts Council Agency Award\, and has received both a Kenyon Review Fellowship and a Stegner Fellowship. His book\, Fieldnotes on Ordinary Love (Copper Canyon)\, was recognized by the New York Times as a best new book of poetry. \nEdo Rosenblith (B. 1988 Tel Aviv\, Israel) received a BFA in painting in 2011 at the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in Visual Art at Washington University-St. Louis in 2017. Edo is a compulsive draftsman who works in a variety of mediums: murals\, painting\, drawing\, printmaking\, and book arts. \nKelsey Harrison’s sculptural work has been shown in institutions nationally including The Jewish Museum\, Abrons Art Center\, and The Knockdown Center in New York\, SOMArts in San Francisco\, The Sullivan Galleries in Chicago\, The College of William and Mary in Virginia\, and the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and the Utah Museum of Fine Art in Salt Lake City. Harrison received her BFA in Sculpture from Purchase College\, State University of New York and her MFA in Sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Memphis. \nBrittney Boyd Bullock\, an artist working in fiber\, mixed-media\, and abstraction\, explores the tension between searching and finding\, obsession and order\, and lightness and darkness through two- and three-dimensional forms. Contemplative and personal\, the process-driven works interrogate anxiety and wonder using materials in a new way\, forcing her to make meaning in the arbitrary jumble. \nJennifer Sargent makes intricate drawings and handwoven tapestries. As an artist weaver she considers herself both a contemporary practitioner and a part of a longer continuum that is thousands of years old. This idea is both a comfort and a challenge. One of two elements is always present in Sargent’s work\, either story telling or the natural world (whether wild or domesticated). Sargent creates an abstracted sense of these ideas or experiences through the layering of pattern and color.

SUMMARY:Making Movies
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Making Movies in The Green Room. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, February 23\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBio: English (Spanish below) \nMaking Movies is a psychedelic Panamanian band that makes American music with an asterisk: because Making Movies’ sound encompasses the entirety of the Americas. It’s through this broader perspective that Making Movies crunches classic rock into Latin American rhythms — African-derived percussion and styles like rumba\, merengue\, mambo and cumbia — in a way that feels oddly familiar\, yet delivers the invigorating chills of hearing something singularly special. \nOver the course of their career\, the quartet has turned heads as a Tiny Desk newcomer (with “A La Deriva”)\, a voice for immigrant rights (with “I Am Another You” which reached #3 on Billboard‘s Latin Pop Album chart)\, and as a co-writer alongside salsa icon Rubén Blades (with Latin GRAMMY nominated song “No Te Calles”). \nMaking Movies has toured extensively\, appearing with the likes of Arcade Fire\, Rubén Blades\, Los Lobos\, Hurray For the Riff Raff\, Bomba Estereo\, Galactic\, Flor De Toloache\, and Thievery Corporation. The band’s fourth album XOPA was just released on L.A.-based label Cósmica Artists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nen Español: \nYa sea que canten en inglés o en español\, o que toquen guitarras eléctricas o instrumentos autóctonos\, Making Movies está causand un revuelo por su sonido original descrito por Rolling Stone como “una mezcla ecléctica de percusión de rumbero\, órganos delicados y rock grunge distorsionado.” \nDurante el transcurso de su carrera\, el cuarteto ha llamado la atención como debutante en Tiny Desk (con “A La Deriva”)\, como voz en pro de los derechos de inmigrantes (con “I Am Another You”\, que llegó al n.° 3 en la lista de álbumes de Pop Latino de Billboard)\, y como coautores con el ícono de la salsa Rubén Blades (con el tema “No Te Calles” nominado a un GRAMMY Latino). \nLa banda emplea un complemento normal rock de guitarra/bajo/batería/percusión\, pero sus miembros incorporan sintetizadores\, efectos e instrumentos autóctonos de América Latina a su música. Entretejen estilos tan diversos como la cumbia y el blues\, la salsa y el soul\, el son cubano y el rock’n’roll — todo combinado para formar su propio sonido original. \nMaking Movies ha realizado muchas giras\, presentándose con figuras tales como Arcade Fire\, Rubén Blades\, Los Lobos\, Hurray For the Riff Raff\, Bomba Estéreo\, Galactic\, Flor de Toloache y Thievery Corporation. El cuarto álbum de la banda se lanzará durante el verano del 2022\, bajo el sello Cósmica Artists de Los Ángeles. \n“por su contenido y sonido\, uno de los mejores albums del año” – National Public Radio \n“(Making Movies)\, íconos del movimiento pro-inmigrante” – Chicago Tribune \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI at Crosstown Theater. \nJim Jarmusch / 1999 / 116 minutes / R \nThursday\, February 23\, 2023\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nJim Jarmusch combined his love for the ice-cool crime dramas of Jean-Pierre Melville and Seijun Suzuki with the philosophical dimensions of samurai mythology for an eccentrically postmodern take on the hit-man thriller. In one of his defining roles\, Forest Whitaker brings a commanding serenity to his portrayal of a Zen contract killer working for a bumbling mob outfit\, a modern man who adheres steadfastly to the ideals of the Japanese warrior code even as chaos and violence spiral around him. Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller\, a sublime score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA\, and a host of colorful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva)\, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

A special highlight of the upcoming 2022-23 season is the premiere of two string quartets by celebrated German composer Jörg Widmann to perform alongside late quartets by Beethoven. \nAdding to its celebrated discography\, an album of works by Beethoven\, Bartók\, and Dvořák was released by Sony Classical in April 2021 to critical acclaim.

In the fall of 2018\, the JSQ released an album on Sony featuring the world premiere recording of Mario Davidovsky’s Fragments (2016)\, together with Beethoven’s Quartet Op. 95 and Bartók’s Quartet No. 1. Additionally\, Sony Classical’s 2014 reissue of the Juilliard Quartet’s landmark recordings of the first four Elliott Carter String Quartets along with the 2013 recording of Carter’s fifth quartet traces a remarkable period in the evolution of both the composer and the ensemble. The quartet’s recordings of the Bartók and Schoenberg Quartets\, as well as those of Debussy\, Ravel and Beethoven\, have won Grammy Awards\, and in 2011 the JSQ became the first classical music ensemble to receive a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. \nDevoted master teachers\, the members of the Juilliard String Quartet offer classes and open rehearsals when on tour.

SUMMARY:The Black Opry Revue
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, February 10\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBlack Opry is a home for Black artists and Black fans of country\, blues\, folk\, and Americana music. Country music has been made by and loved by Black people since its conception. For just as long\, we have been overlooked and disregarded in the genre by fans and executives. Black Opry wants to change that. We invite you to discover\, support and enjoy the Black artists that make magic in this space. One of the most valuable aspects of country music is its versatility and diversity in sound. Country\, blues\, folk\, and Americana music often overlap or weave together — these artists explore all of those sounds and intersections. The Black Opry Revue showcases the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists offer to these genres. \nTae Lewis \nThe emerging country singer/songwriter Tae Lewis doesn’t sell short when it comes to his creation of country music. The North Carolina native started his roots by singing in his grandfather’s church at the age of 5. In 2016 he began to emerge in his own element of what he wanted to create for his audience as a country artist with one of his first singles “Good Luvin”. \n“Good Luvin” brought success in being placed in the hit sitcom Shameless\, which brought his artistry to a whole new level of people acknowledging who he really is. Now\, a Nashville native\, he’s been able to write with some amazing songwriters as well as being able to be an opener for some incredible artists this summer. \nTwitter: @Taelewis_ Instagram: @TaeLewisMusic_ \nTylar Bryant \nTylar Bryant is a soulful country recording artist whose path took him on a journey to take the stage in the country music arena. Championing the challenge\, where no one saw him coming\, Tylar is a new contender who’s in it to win it. \nThe former MMA fighter changed his career path to pursue a passion that caught him completely by surprise. He laid down his gloves to pick up a songwriter’s pen and a guitar. In a courageous leap of faith to chase his dream\, Tylar moved to Nashville in 2019. \nKnown for his charismatic stage presence\, electric live performances\, and infamous beer showers among his audiences\, onlookers would never expect Tylar Bryant to be anything but a country music entertainer. \nTylar grew up listening to an array of music from rap (Zro\, Tupac\, Biggie\, Hawk\, Pimp C) and the tunes that echoed in the background at his grand mom’s home (Al Green\, Luther Vandross\, The Temptations\, Diana Ross). \nThe Texas native prides himself in his authenticity and ability to infuse a mix of styles and sounds. Influenced by some of country music’s greatest voices and performers (such as Jim Reeves\, Randy Travis and Chris Young)\, Bryant marries modern and traditional country sounds with rock and R&B grooves for an added twist. \nPlaying more than 80 shows a year\, Tylar’s canvassed the Lone Star State. In 2017\, Tylar recorded his debut EP\, titled Don’t Let Go\, in Nashville co-producing the project that features all original tunes. \nTwitter: @TylarBryant Instagram: @TylarBryantMusic \nLayna \nLAYNA is a singer\, songwriter\, producer from Northeast Ohio.
