SUMMARY:The Music of Freddie Hubbard
DESCRIPTION:Tickets – $15 (purchase on Eventbrite)\nDoors at 6:30 pm | show at 7 pm \nJazz tribute to American jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard featuring  Scott Thompson (trumpet | flugelhorn)\, Art Edmaiston (tenor sax)\, Pat Fusco (piano)\, Sam Shoup (acoustic bass)\, and James Sexton (drums). \nThe Crosstown Jazz Series\, presented by Strictly Jazz Entertainment in collaboration with Crosstown Arts\, is designed to salute classic jazz music as contemporary musicians perform the work of the legends. \n\n \nAbout Scott Thompson:\nScott Thompson boasts more than 35 years of experience as a professional trumpet player and has been one of the most recorded trumpet players in the last 25 years. Thompson received his undergraduate degree  in Trumpet Performance and his master’s in Jazz Pedagogy at the University of Memphis. \nHe’s performed with Aretha Franklin\, Ray Charles\, Randy Brecker\, Chuck Findley\, George Coleman\, Lee Konitz\, and all the Memphis piano greats\, such as Phineas Newborn\, James Williams\, Donald Brown\, and Mulgrew Miller. \nHis recording/touring credits include Al Green\, Rufus Thomas\, Cat Power\, Lucero\, Ann Peebles\, and the Bo-Keys. His Grammy-winning credits include Robert Cray and Otis Rush. In 1993\, Thompson won the Carmine Curuso International Trumpet Competition. \nLately\, Thompson has been performing with Memphis’ Love Lite Orchestra\, John Paul Keith\, and Heavy Hitters 901\, as well as his own jazz sextet\, Scott Thompson’s Rescue Animals\, which performs his original compositions. \nThompson’s musical influences include Woody Shaw\, Freddie Hubbard\, Randy Brecker\, and Clifford Brown among others. \n\nAbout Strictly Jazz Entertainment:\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:Don Lifted
DESCRIPTION:With special guest Madame Fraankie \nDoors at 8 pm | Performance at 9 pm \n\nOn Fri​day\, September 14th ​at 8:00pm\, ​Visual​\, Musical\, and ​​Performance ​Artist Lawrence ​​Matthews​\, also known as Don Lifted\, will transform Crosstown Arts visually and sonically​ with brand new music. ​His performance will feature sculptural and video installations\, as well as performances from his album “Alero” and his coming album “Contour\,”​ which will be released on September 21st. Audiences will be immersed in music performed live and surrounded by swirling nostalgic imagery that follows the narrative of each song. Brand new Don Lifted merchandise will be available for purchase at the event. \nProduction on “Contour” began in Memphis in late 2015. In 2018\, the record was finished and mastered in Hollywood​ by Grammy Award-winning Engineer Mike Bozzi (Flower Boy\, Ctrl\, Good Kid\, Maad City\, To Pimp A Butterfly\, Damn\, Blankface LP). \nMatthews is a multi-disciplinary creative​ with connections reaching deep into the ​Memphis art scene​. Born in Memphis\, his work combines Post Modern\, Pop Art\, and contemporary influences to tell the story of the African Descendant living in America. His work ranges from oil paintings\, collage\, photography\, and ready-made sculpture\, to music and film. Matthews’ musical style incorporates hip-hop\, alternative rock and electronic music resulting in emotionally vulnerable storytelling and eclectic production. A hot emerging artist\, Matthew’s work began to garner acclaim before he had completed his Bachelor’s in Fine Art at University of Memphis\, awarded “Best of Show” in the University’s 31st Annual Juried Student Exhibition in 2014 and the Deans Creative Achievement Award and Department of Art Creative Achievement Award in 2015. In 2016\, he was awarded the Arts Accelerator Grant from Arts Memphis. His performances helped inaugurate Crosstown Art’s new space in the Concourse and have been feature events at the Brooks Museum and Civil Rights Museum. Matthews is also a member of the Collective\, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the work of local artists of color.

SUMMARY:Wish Book: Lay of the Land with John Pearson
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition of photographic works by John Pearson\nOpening reception: Friday\, Sept. 21\, 6-8 pm\nOn view: Sept. 21-Dec. 2\nLocation: East Gallery & East Atrium \nPerformance by >mancontrol< at 7 pm \nThese large-scale\, landscape cyanotypes on fabric link the tactile and the visual by committing the photographic process to the physical landscape. Pearson works outdoors on the ground\, making 1:1 indexical photographic prints during midday sunlight. In these photographs\, view is replaced by elemental record; while the horizon\, removed from the composition\, becomes the topographic support and source for construction of the images. \nPearson’s intention is not to convey the solely visual appearance of place — in this case\, the arid southern California landscape — but rather to invoke a more dynamic experience of place by means of the transformative nature of photography. \n\nArtist statement:\nMy intention is to provide the viewer a photograph that offers an experience of the landscape that does not rely solely on visual appearance.  An image of a different scope that conveys the material phenomena of a location\, a more tactile involvement with the landscape\, that attempts a solution to the distance conventional photography asserts. My interest is to bridge this gap between being immersed in a landscape and simply looking at it as a photograph.\n\nThese large-scale\, landscape cyanotypes represent an experience of the arid Southern California landscape.  They are made outdoors on the ground in the middle of the day in Griffith Park and Death Valley.  This is a rudimentary photography\, made without camera or film\, recording the moment\, the light\, and the terrain of a particular but negligible plot of ground in a vast space at high noon.  It is influenced by the landscape embodied in the 1840s cyanotype photograms of Anna Atkins\, and it responds to the grand vistas of photographers such as Ansel Adams by bringing vision back to the body and using what is within reach: rocks\, dirt\, open sky\, and sunlight. This series of photographs is an inquiry of place\, an expression of a phenomenological sensation\, and a proposition of sense.\n\nThe videos and photographs both are invested in observation\, the presence and action of light\, the parallels of light entering the shadowed interior of the camera and the eye functioning as an aperture to the blackness of the body’s interior.  That dependence of light on darkness interests me.  Video provides a physicality to the process of making images\, a physicality that links vision back to the body\, to movement and pulse\, rather than the mechanical idealized view of the camera.  Video is more performative and allows for an intuitive\, animated exploration of light.\n\n\nCurated by Terri Phillips and Brian Pera in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nThe Wish Book series is a series focusing on non-traditional approaches to film as a medium. Curators Brian Pera and Terri Phillips welcome internationally recognized artists\, filmmakers\, and critics to Memphis for this exciting series\, which takes its name from the famed Sears Catalog and is hosted by Crosstown Arts at Crosstown Concourse\, itself once a major Sears distribution center.

SUMMARY:Give a Damn! Music + Activism at Stax Records
DESCRIPTION:On view: September 28-December 2\nOpening reception: Friday\, Sept. 28\, 6-8 pm \n“Give a Damn\,” a title taken from the 1970 Staple Singers song\, is the culmination of a year-long examination of Stax Records’ commitment to political activism\, community engagement\, and social justice in the years following Dr. King’s 1968 assassination in Memphis. \nThis exhibition is presented by The Stax Museum of American Soul Music and hosted at Crosstown Arts. It features never-before-seen artifacts including Isaac Hayes’ 14-foot long custom-made office desk\, stage clothing worn by Johnnie Taylor and Isaac Hayes\, rare photos and documents\, short films\, music\, and original artwork contributed by Shelby County students. \n\nHistorical background:\nFor the musicians and staff of Stax Records\, the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. proved to be a catalyst for change. While never explicitly told to keep politics out of the studio\, most Stax artists kept their political preferences to themselves\, or simply chose not to engage. The death of Dr. King\, though\, literally put the struggle for freedom at the front door of Stax Records and made it difficult for those working within to ignore.  \nThe transformation began overnight\, with Stax artists Isaac Hayes and Rufus Thomas thrown into the role of peacekeepers during the unrest that followed Dr. King’s death. The era peaked at 1972’s Wattstax Festival\, where Stax gave an all-day concert for more than 112\,000 people in support of the community the wake of the Watts Rebellion\, and lasted until the studio’s doors closed in December 1975.  \nStax artists increased their participation in civic causes\, initiated relationships with politicians and activists\, adjusted their sound and look to align with both a growing counterculture and black consciousness movement\, and became community leaders\, empowered by their success and support from label owner\, Al Bell. Simply put\, Stax Records began to “give a damn.”

SUMMARY:The Music of Billie Holiday

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.
