SUMMARY:Katharine Hedlund at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by Katharine Hedlund. \nJoin jazz vocalist/pianist Katharine Hedlund for a special live album recording performance at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts with Paul Taylor\, Jim Spake\, and Carl Caspersen. Katherine Hedlund was becoming quite the fixture and turning heads in Memphis before she departed for San Francisco in 2018\, and we are thrilled to be hosting her in a rare return appearance. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Performance 7:30 pm \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n  \n\nKatharine Hedlund is a jazz/soul pianist and vocalist with a musicality far beyond her years. Katharine grew up in Darien\, CT\, and began her professional performing career at 13 years old\, playing original renditions of jazz standards with her trio in local clubs around the New York metro area. Her performances frequently invite comparison to Diana Krall and Norah Jones – but with quite a bit more sass than either of the former! \nKatharine attended Northwestern University in Chicago\, IL \,to continue musical studies with the renowned saxophonist of Jazz at Lincoln Center\, Victor Goines\, and soulful Grammy-winning pianist for vocalist Diane Reeves\, Peter Martin. She was awarded the highly competitive piano chair of the school’s premier touring graduate small ensemble as an undergraduate. \nShe has performed in some of Jazz’s most prestigious venues\, including The Green Mill Chicago\, The Jazz Showcase Chicago\, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola of Jazz at Lincoln Center NYC\, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, Germantown Performing Arts Center\, The Sound Room (Oakland\, CA)\, among others. \nKatharine relocated to Memphis after graduation from Northwestern and began performing weekly at the historic Peabody Hotel and the Zebra Lounge in Overton Square\, honing her skills in voice and piano in soul\, blues\, and pop styles. Katharine has since moved to San Francisco\, but Memphis will always be her musical home.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with special guest Bernie Williams
DESCRIPTION:Join Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, a monthly jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This month’s guest: former New York Yankees center fielder and World Series Champion/jazz guitarist Bernie Williams. \nDoors at 5 pm | performance at 6 pm \nGeneral admission tickets — $45\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $60 \n\nAbout Kirk Whalum:\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring … these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his.The 80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene — especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first No. 1 album. Kirk and Bob also received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. \nAfter moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in-demand session player for top artists like Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones\, and\, most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date. Others include his eclectic\, and much-lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series\, (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar). \nAbout Bernie Williams:\nGrowing up in Puerto Rico\, Bernie Williams discovered his love for baseball and music at roughly the same time\, when at the age of eight he fell in love with the sounds of a flamenco guitar his merchant-marine father brought home from Spain\, and also felt the same exhilaration when he first picked up a baseball bat. The young student-athlete quickly excelled in both pursuits\, going on to attend the special performance arts school Escuela Libre de Musica at the age of thirteen and becoming one of the most noted young athletes on the island\, both as a track and field standout posting record times in the 400 meters\, as well as one of Puerto Rico’s most sought after young baseball prospects. Bernie was signed by the New York Yankees after high school in 1987. After working his way through the farm system\, the switch-hitting Williams made his Major League debut with the Yankees in May\, 1991. \nIn his 16-year career patrolling centerfield for the New York Yankees\, Bernie Williams was a four-time World Series Champion and a five-time All Star. Williams has more post-season RBIs to his credit than any other player in Major League history and his resume also boasts four Gold Glove awards\, six American League pennants\, the 1996 ALCS MVP award\, and the 1998 American League batting title. Bernie is also among the Yankees all-time leaders in every major batting category\, with his performance statistics often standing alongside such legetnds as Babe Ruth\, Mickey Mantle\, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio. On May\, 24\, 2015\, the Yankees retired Bernie’s uniform number 51 and a plaque was dedicated and placed in Monument Park in Yankee Stadium\, cementing his legacy as an all-time Yankee great.  \nThroughout Williams’ years with the Yankees\, his passion for music never waned\, and the sound of his guitar would often be heard emanating from the clubhouse or during team flights. Whether acoustic or electric\, a guitar was a constant presence in the star’s locker or equipment bag\, and it was no surprise when he demonstrated how serious his musical pursuit was with the release of his first album\, The Journey Within in 2003. The record featured fusions of jazz\, rock and the tropical rhythms of Williams’ Latin heritage and was met with both strong critical praise and instant chart success- reaching #3 on Billboard’s “Contemporary Jazz Chart.” \nBernie Williams raised his musical game even further with the release of his second album Moving Forward. Featuring guest appearances by Bruce Springsteen\, Jon Secada\, Dave Koz\, and an All-Star cast of renowned studio musicians\, Moving Forward debuted as Billboard’s #2 Contemporary Jazz album in the country\, and continued to hold that chart position for five straight weeks\, and spawned two consecutive Billboard #1 singles\, Go For It\, and Ritmo de Otono. The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Album in 2009.  \nIn addition to performing at concert venues\, music festivals\, and special events\, since the release of Moving Forward\, Bernie spent considerable time authoring his first book\, Rhythms of the Game: The Link Between Music and Athletic Performance\, published by Hal Leonard Books and released in July 2011. The book examines the symbiotic relationship between musical artistry and athletic performance through the eyes of a man who has mastered both.  \nBernie is an active crusader for arts and music education in the lives of all students\, and is a national spokesman for the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Foundation’s SupportMusic Coalition\, which unites non-profit organizations\, schools\, and businesses working to assure that music education is supported in communities everywhere\, and that all children have the opportunity to learn and grow with music. He has met with leaders of Congress on Capitol Hill for years lobbying to ensure that arts and music become part of a core education in our schools across the United States.  \nIn 2015\, he was appointed a Turnaround Arts artist by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in partnership with the White House\, and U.S. Department of Education. Turnaround Arts brings arts education programs and supplies to a group of the lowest-performing elementary and middle schools in the country. These resources help schools improve attendance\, parent engagement\, student motivation\, and academic achievement. \nOn May 13\, 2016\, Williams graduated from the Manhattan School of Music\, in New York\, NY\, a prestigious music conservatory in New York\, NY\, receiving a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Performance.  \nIn 2017\, Bernie became the national spokesperson for Breathless\, an educational awareness campaign for Ideopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)\, a mysterious lung disease that took the life of Bernie’s father Bernabe Sr.\, and still has no cure. He has been touring the country visiting many cities\, Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball ballparks\, and speaking at major medical conferences to spread the word about the disease that affects up to 132\,000 people and their families per year.  \nOn June 13\, 2019\, Bernie became “Dr. Williams”\, as he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the State University of New York through SUNY Potsdam and the world- renowned Drake School of Music\, considered the “birthplace of music education”. Williams was recognized for his record-setting achievements as a New York Yankee\, as well as his artistic accomplishments as a musician and dedication to philanthropy.  \nYou can find Bernie online at www.bernie51.com\, on Twitter @bw51official and on Facebook at BernieWilliamsOfficial and Instagram at BernieWilliamsOfficial.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Sexuality & Politics
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts staff will moderate a conversation with Mauricio Calvo and Sharolyn Peyton exploring how sexuality and sexual expression are linked to\, and affected by\, social and civic politics. \n\nFor the past 25 years\, Mauricio Calvo has chosen Memphis\, “the 901\,” as his home. Over the course of his career\, he has worked tirelessly to help ensure that the Memphis community has been heard. Through his leadership\, serving as the executive director of Latino Memphis for 11 years\, he has worked with diverse and underrepresented populations within and outside of the city.

Mauricio obtained a masters degree from Lipscomb University and completed graduate work at Boston College. He is also a graduate of Leadership Memphis\, New Memphis and Leadership Tennessee. \nMauricio is openly bi. He and his best friend\, local artist Yancy Villa-Calvo\, married 19 years ago. Together they are figuring out how to raise three future leaders: Anna 14\, Carolina 13 and Santiago 11\, all of whom proudly attend public schools. They all have to endure his cooking every night\, from his famous grilled tacos to his stir fry tofu.

He serves on various boards\, including the Downtown Memphis Commission\, Hope Credit Union\, Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau\, We Are Memphis\, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy\, and the National Leadership Council for LeBonheur Children’s Hospital among others. \nMost recently\, after 25 years\, Yancy and Mauricio became US citizens\, a privilege they know many are unable to obtain. As a citizen\, Mauricio will continue to use his voice\, and his vote\, to fight for others that are deserving of their own American dream. \n\nSharolyn Payton\, Professional Life\, Business\, and Community Coach\, is a champion for all things human development. Her mission is to help people identify\, cultivate\, and demonstrate their full human potential.

Her practice primarily serves nonprofit organizations\, minority and women business owners\, and visionary leaders. Sharolyn is known for her community-centered\, advocacy-based\, style of social entrepreneurship\, as well as her passion for social justice.  She has been recognized as a community influencer who encourages and promotes solution-focused\, inter-generational dialogue about social\, cultural\, political\, and economic challenges that exist in Memphis and in our Global community.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents A Face in the Crowd
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $5 (at the door only) \nA FACE IN THE CROWD chronicles the rise and fall of Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes (Andy Griffith)\, a boisterous entertainer discovered in an Arkansas drunk tank by Marcia Jeffries (Patricia Neal)\, a local radio producer with ambitions of her own. His charisma and cunning soon shoot him to the heights of television stardom and political demagoguery\, forcing Marcia to grapple with the manipulative\, reactionary monster she has created. Directed by Elia Kazan from a screenplay by Budd Schulberg\, this incisive satire features an extraordinary debut screen performance by Griffith\, who brandishes his charm in an uncharacteristically sinister role. Though the film was a flop on its initial release\, subsequent generations have marveled at its eerily prescient diagnosis of the toxic intimacy between media and politics in American life.

SUMMARY:Those Pretty Wrongs at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for Those Pretty Wrongs\, a musical partnership between Jody Stephens (of Big Star) and Luther Russell. Also featuring members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra —  Jessie Munson\, Yennifer Correia\, Beth Luscombe\, and Jonathan Kirkscey. \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nThose Pretty Wrongs are Jody Stephens and Luther Russell. It’s a musical partnership borne of a deep and lasting friendship\, the roots of which stretch back to the early ’90s\, when the two were introduced. As the story goes\, nary a note of music was made between them until about five years ago\, when they were united in the cause of a documentary about Jody’s alma mater\, the legendary Memphis group Big Star. After releasing their self-titled debut on Ardent/Burger in 2016 to a healthy dose of acclaim\, they went out on the road\, playing for audiences across North America\, Australia\, Europe\, and the U.K. \nDuring the course of these runs\, they began to forge the sound for their second offering\, Zed for Zulu\, due out September 6\, 2019 on Burger Records\, a meditation on communication or lack thereof\, the ever-present past or the question of the future\, inevitable death\, or imminent re-birth. The music is colorful but muted\, something complex woven in a simple way. It’s a symphony of chords and melodies\, yet played in an understated fashion\, without too much fuss. Those Pretty Wrongs don’t have time to fuss\, as Luther dwells in Los Angeles and Jody resides in Memphis. And they like it that way.

SUMMARY:Todd Snider at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Update to those who purchased tickets to see Todd Snider and his new band on September 21. Due to the tragic loss of friend and guitar player Neal Casal\, who was part of the new band\, Todd will be performing these shows solo. Todd wants you to know that he appreciates your support and understanding. \nFormer Memphian Todd Snider is back\, and he’s performing a solo show at Crosstown Theater. Opening act: Dean Alexander \nTickets: $30\nDoors at 7 pm | show at 8 pm \nAbout Todd Snider:\nOne morning near the end of August\, Todd Snider was relaxing with a visitor on the back porch of his house just outside Nashville\, drinking coffee and shooting the breeze while his dog\, Cowboy Jim\, took a nap nearby. After awhile\, Snider said to his guest\, “I’ve got an album’s worth of songs\, and I think the songs are telling me to make a folk record.” \nThis was a surprising bit of news considering he had spent the last six years making rock albums of one kind or another. But Snider was feeling as if he had “maybe drifted too far from the shore.” He was feeling the pull to start over\, to go back to what he was doing when he first began\, to return to his roots as a folksinger. \nIf Snider needed any further evidence that was the direction he should pursue\, he got it a half hour later. Back inside his home office\, he checked his email and had one from his manager informing him he had just received an offer to play the 2019 Newport Folk Festival\, an event he had never done. \nSnider mentioned he had been listening to Woody Guthrie’s Library of Congress Recordings\, then crossed the room to the turntable and put the needle down on side one of the record. “Woody Guthrie sometimes gets me reset on why you do a song\, instead of how\,” Snider explains of the man who has long been a touchstone for him. “When I was young\, there was something about him that made me want to do it. So once or twice a year\, I’ll go back to him\, I’ll go back to the source.” \nGuthrie famously had the words “This machine kills fascists” printed on his guitar\, and on several of the songs on Snider’s new album\, Cash Cabin Sessions\, Vol. 3\, he squarely aims his guitar at the creeping fascism he sees in America. He had been wanting to make a political record since 2016\, and although only half the songs lean in that direction\, there is one constant throughout the album: a man\, his guitar\, and the truth.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents THE QUEEN (1968)
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $5 (at the door only) \nMore than 40 years before RuPaul’s Drag Race\, the ground-breaking documentary THE QUEEN is about the 1967 Miss All-American Camp Beauty Pageant introduced audiences to the world of competitive drag. The film takes us backstage to kiki with the contestants as they rehearse\, throw shade\, and transform into their drag personas in the lead-up to the big event. Organized by LGBTQ icon and activist Flawless Sabrina\, the competition boasted a star-studded panel of judges including Andy Warhol\, Larry Rivers\, and Terry Southern.. But perhaps most memorable is an epic diatribe calling out the pageant’s bias delivered by Crystal LaBeija\, who would go on to form the influential House of LaBeija\, heavily featured in Paris Is Burning (1990). A vibrant piece of queer history\, The Queen can now be seen in full resplendence thanks to a new restoration from the original camera negative.

SUMMARY:Gonerfest 16 Presents: The Puppet Worlds Of Miss Pussycat
DESCRIPTION:Miss Pussycat will perform a new puppet show\, “The History of Egypt\,” in conjunction with Gonerfest 16. \nMusic by synth master Benni\nFree \nThe Puppet Worlds of Miss Pussycat features an installation of puppets and their worlds by New-Orleans based artist\, musician\, and puppeteer\, Panacea Theriac (also known as Miss Pussycat). The exhibition includes puppets and puppet theaters\, along with videos\, photographs and ceramic sculptures of her puppets. The Puppet Worlds of Miss Pussycat highlights characters and worlds from several of her last puppet shows\, including The Western Village Shopping Village\, Clothes Made by Small Furry Animals\, Frenchy and Jett\, The Happy Castle of Goblinburg\, and The Cookie Carnival Baking Contest. In her work\, Miss Pussycat’s creates anthropomorphic fantasies that often relate to her own experience as an artist and musician. She’s in a band and her puppets have a band that releases records\, while others are artists and museum workers in a fictitious museum. Each character assumes a life of their own in an ever-evolving series of stories. \nBio: \nPanacea Theriac’s most widely known public role is as Miss Pussycat\, performing puppet shows\, singing\, and playing maracas in the band “Quintron and Miss Pussycat”. Based in New Orleans\, Quintron and Miss Pussycat present live organ-driven party music and puppet shows at parties all over the world. \nBorn in Antlers\, Oklahoma\, Theriac began her career in art and puppetry as a child in the Southern Baptist Church of Antlers as part of the Christian Puppet Youth Ministry. She later moved to New Orleans and started a secret nightclub called Pussycat Caverns\, which hosted bands and all types of performance in a unique and lively atmosphere. Since 1997 she has run a similar secret night club\, The Spellcaster Lodge\, with the artist Quintron. Both of these enterprises have brought bands and other inspired people together to put on fun shows for the New Orleans 9th Ward neighborhood. For over 20 years\, she has presented live puppet shows in rock clubs\, libraries\, and secret clubhouses all around the world. Miss Pussycat has also made a number of puppet movies and videos\, including Trixie and the Treetunks\, North Pole Nutrias\, and Electric Swamp. \nExhibitions and installations are an important part of her work. These shows display puppets and their worlds in galleries and museums and have included exhibits at The New Orleans Museum of Art and an installation at the Center for Contemporary Art in New Orleans. In 2017\, she was a featured artist for Prospect 4\, New Orleans’ citywide contemporary art triennial\, with an exhibition at The Ogden Museum of Southern Art. In 2014\, she and Quintron were each awarded a Rauschenberg Residency. \nwww.quintronandmisspussycat.com\nwww.panaceatheriac.com

SUMMARY:John Raymond & Real Feels at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by up-and-coming jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player John Raymond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: $10\nDoors 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n\n\nWith a singular voice on the trumpet and flugelhorn\, John Raymond is making his mark as one of the most promising\, up-and-coming jazz musicians in the world. Recently dubbed as a Rising Star by Downbeat Magazine\, John has performed with some of most well-respected names in jazz\, including Orrin Evans\, Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Billy Hart\, and Linda Oh among others. He has released five albums under his own name since 2012\, all of which are receiving critical acclaim from the New York Times\, Stereogum\, Downbeat\, JazzTimes\, and more. John has also established himself as a sought-after educator\, both as the Professor of Jazz Trumpet at Indiana University and as a guest clinician and soloist at schools around the world. \nRaymond’s Real Feels is a bass-less trio that includes Gilad Hekselman (guitar) and Colin Stranahan (drums)\, and the leader on flugelhorn. Together\, they incorporate indie-rock\, folk\, and electronic influences to both riveting original music and fresh takes on recognizable songs by artists such as Bob Dylan\, Thom Yorke\, Bon Iver\, Paul Simon and more. Regardless of material\, the band’s improvisational\, free-wheeling\, “keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat” approach to the music makes each experience with Real Feels a new and captivating experience. It’s no surprise that they are one of the hottest\, up-and-coming groups in jazz today. \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n

SUMMARY:The MD's perform The Beatles' Revolver
DESCRIPTION:Join us as The MD’s — a Memphis-based Booker T & the MG’s tribute band — perform The Beatles Revolver album on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7:30 pm | show at 8 pm \n\nIn March of 1966\, negotiations were being made for The Beatles to possibly record their next studio album in Memphis\, TN at Stax Records. Concerns over security\, money\, and other factors ultimately killed the deal and The Beatles remained at Abbey Road. Can you imagine what that next record\, to be titled Revolver\, would have sounded like had it been recorded in Memphis? Would Otis Redding have added some background vocals? Would Booker T have played organ? What about the Memphis horns? \n\nSince The MD’s main goal is to keep the incredible catalog of Booker T & The MG’s music alive\, they have decided to try something a little different. With the utmost respect to Booker\, Steve\, Duck\, and Al\, they are going to perform Revolver as they think the MG’s would have in the ’60s. \nAbout The MD’s:\nThe only Booker T & the MG’s tribute band in the group’s hometown of Memphis\, TN. The MD’s will play anything Booker T & the MG’s ever recorded in the studio or at a live show.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with special guest Wycliffe Gordon
DESCRIPTION:Join Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, a monthly jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This month’s guest: jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon  \nDoors at 5 pm | performance at 6 pm\nGeneral admission tickets — $45\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $60 \n\nAbout Kirk Whalum:\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring … these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his.The 80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene — especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first No. 1 album. Kirk and Bob also received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. \nAfter moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in-demand session player for top artists like Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones\, and\, most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date. Others include his eclectic\, and much-lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series\, (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar). \nAbout Wycliffe Gordon:\nWycliffe Gordon experiences an impressive career touring the world performing to\ngreat acclaim from audiences and critics alike. \nJazz Journalists Association named him “Trombonist of the Year” for the 12th time in\n2019\, and Downbeat Critics Poll named Wycliffe “Best Trombone” for the fifth time\nlast year (2018\, 2016\, 2014\, 2013 & 2012). Most recently Wycliffe received the\n“Louie Award” honoring his dedication and commitment to the music of Louis\nArmstrong\, and received the International Trombone Association Award in 2017\,\nwhich recognizes the highest level of creative and artistic achievement. In 2015\,\nWycliffe was presented the Satchmo award from the Sarasota Jazz Club\, received the\nLouis Armstrong Memorial Prize presented by the Swing Jazz Culture Foundation\,\nand was named Artist of the Year (2015) by the Augusta Arts Council. He is also a\npast recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Vanguard Award\, among others. \nIn addition to an extremely successful solo career\, Gordon tours regularly leading\nhis quintet\, headlining at legendary jazz venues and performing arts centers\nthroughout the world. He is commissioned frequently\, and has an extensive catalog\nof original compositions that span the various timbres of jazz and chamber music.\nMusicians and ensembles of every caliber perform his music throughout the world\nand his arrangement of the theme song to NPR’s “All Things Considered” is heard\ndaily across the globe. \nGordon is a former veteran member of the Wynton Marsalis Septet\, the Lincoln\nCenter Jazz Orchestra and has been a featured guest artist on Billy Taylor’s “Jazz at\nthe Kennedy Center” Series. Gordon is also one of Americaʼs most persuasive and\ncommitted music educators\, and currently serves as full time Artist-in-Residence at\nAugusta University in Augusta\, GA. \nWycliffe Gordon is a Yamaha Performing Artist and has his own line of Wycliffe\nGordon Pro Signature Mouthpieces by Pickett Brass.

SUMMARY:Odeya Nini: A Solo Voice
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by Los Angeles-based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer Odeya Nini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvolving over the last eight years\, A Solo Voice\, composed and performed by Odeya Nini\, is an investigation of resonance\, extended vocal techniques\, performance\, and pure expression\, exploring the relationship between mind and body and the various landscapes it can yield. The work is a series of malleable compositions and improvisations that include field recordings and theatrical elements\, aiming to dissociate the voice from its traditional attributes and create a new logic of song that is not only heard but seen through movement and action. In a multi-dimensionality that serves to both provoke and soothe in abstract communication\, the voice is presented in its spectrum of natures as it travels through cultures\, ages\, emotions and colors\, like photographs\, with tender intimacy and bold aberrance. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7 pm |Performance 7:30pm \nOdeya Nini is a Los Angeles-based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer. At the locus of her interests are performance practices\, gesture\, textural harmony\, tonal animation\, and the illumination of minute sounds\, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body\, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. Odeya has collaborated extensively with dancers\, visual artists\, filmmakers and theater directors as both a composer and soloist and has worked with and appeared in works by artists and ensembles such as Meredith Monk\, Butch Morris\, Lucy & Jorge Orta\, The Industry & Wild Up. \nOdeya’s work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally\, such as Resonant Bodies Festival\, Banff Centre\, The Pulitzer Arts Foundation\, The LA Phil\, MONA and Art Basel Miami\, from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv\, Australia\, Mongolia\, Madagascar and Vietnam. She leads vocal sound baths\, seminars\, workshops and retreats exploring the transformative and healing qualities of embodying the voice. \nOdeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. \nwww.odeyanini.com

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents THE UNHOLY THREE (1925) + NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $10 (at the door only) \nDouble feature with THE UNHOLY THREE and a live score by BLUESHIFT ENSEMBLE\, followed by a screening of NIGHT OF THE HUNTER \nTHE UNHOLY THREE was Tod Browning’s first shot at telling the story of three sideshow performers who grow sick of living the impoverished life they lead and hatch a plan to get rich. Tweedledee (Harry Earles) is a dwarf who disguises himself as a baby. Professor Echo\, a ventriloquist\, becomes Mrs. O’Grady — Tweedledee’s “grandmother.” Professor Echo’s girlfriend\, who is a pickpocket\, becomes his “granddaughter.”  Theft\, fake talking parrots\, murder\, ALMOST child murder\, circus strongmen\, and an unhinged pet ape!!!!  \nBLUESHIFT ENSEMBLE is a Memphis­-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi­-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, soul\, and hip hop and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers. The astronomical term “blueshift” indicates an object’s moving closer toward the observer. Blueshift aims to bring concert music and art out of the concert hall and into the Memphis community. \nSECOND FEATURE: NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)\nA tall\, handsome ‘preacher’ — his knuckles eerily tattooed with ‘love’ and ‘hate’ — roams the countryside\, spreading the gospel … and leaving a trail of murdered women in his wake. To Reverend Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum)\, the work of the Lord has more to do with condemning souls than saving them\, especially when his own interests are involved. Now his sights are set on $10\,000 — and two little children are the only ones who know where it is. ‘Chill…dren!’ the preacher croons to the terrified boy and girl hiding in the cold\, dark cellar … innocent young lambs who refuse to be led astray.
