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.

SUMMARY:Scott Sharrard & The Bo-Keys
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Scott Sherrard and Memphis-based soul band\, The Bo-Keys. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7:30 pm | Show at 8 pm \n“One of the best guitarists in the country.” — Billboard Magazine \nScott Sharrard is best-known as lead guitarist and bandleader for the late Gregg Allman. But his personal artistic journey – which includes singing\, songwriting\, producing\, and arranging – began long before he first teamed up with the rock icon. \n“Gregg had a pure passion and heart\,” Sharrard says of his friend\, “especially when it came to being a musician. That authenticity and dedication is a daily inspiration\, and I will always carry that with me onstage and in the studio.” \nHis latest record\,“Saving Grace\,” with the blues at its core\, bears a distinctly southern spirit. Sessions took place in Memphis and at the historic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals\, Alabama. Half the album employs the Hi Rhythm Section\, the other The Swampers of Muscle Shoals. \nThe partnership with Allman ended with the 69-year-old’s death on May 27\, 2017. But not before Allman covered Sharrard’s “Love Like Kerosene” on 2015’s “Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon\, GA\,” and again on Allman’s eighth and final solo album\, the posthumous\, GRAMMY-nominated “Southern Blood” (Rounder Records\, 2017). \nAnother “Southern Blood” track\, the unforgettable farewell “My Only True Friend” – co-written by Sharrard and Allman – earned a GRAMMY nomination for Americana Song of the Year. \nHe’s now begun a new chapter with an album he consciously wanted to summarize the last 20 years of his work – and one that showcases the totality of his artistry: as guitarist\, singer\, songwriter\, producer\, arranger and bandleader. \nIn short\, he says\, it’s rock n’ roll rooted in everything else. \n“I basically have a rock ’n’ roll band\,” Sharrard explains. “When I was growing up\, I loved bands like Little Feat\, Led Zeppelin and the Allmans. They would explore so many styles and experiment. That’s something I have always tried to embrace\, and that’s how I want to present my music today. This is what I tried to do with Gregg. Now I’m continuing that as a solo artist.”

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921) + GANJA & HESS (1973)
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 PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921) and a live piano accompaniment by Maeve Brophy\, followed by a screening of SECOND FEATURE: GANJA & HESS (1973). \nTHE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921): The last person to die on New Year’s Eve before the clock strikes twelve is doomed to take the reins of Death’s chariot and work tirelessly\, collecting fresh souls for the next year. So says the legend that drives THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (Körkarlen)\, directed by the father of Swedish cinema\, Victor Sjöström. The story\, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf\, concerns an alcoholic\, abusive ne’er-do-well (Sjöström himself) who is shown the error of his ways\, and the pure-of-heart Salvation Army sister who believes in his redemption. This extraordinarily rich and innovative silent classic (which inspired Ingmar Bergman to make movies) is a Dickensian ghost story and a deeply moving morality tale\, as well as a showcase for groundbreaking special effects. \nMAEVE BROPHY gave her first solo piano recital at age 9 and made her orchestral debut at 15. She has given solo and collaborative performances in Wells\, England; the Amalfi Coast; Kiev\, Ukraine; New York; San Francisco; Seattle; Aspen; Nashville; and Memphis. She has performed for the Memphis Chamber Music Society and the Artist Ascending Series in Memphis and is a regular performer with the Luna Nova Ensemble. Maeve has performed as soloist with the Chernygev Symphony in Kiev as well as the Paducah Symphony and the Central Florida Philharmonic. She has a BA from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a Master of Music in Piano Performance from Texas Christian University. She also studied at the Manhattan School of Music and at the New England Conservatory of Music with Russell Sherman. She has worked as a freelance accompanist in Memphis and played for numerous student recitals at the University of Memphis. She has taught students privately as well as at the Boston College of Adult Education. \nSECOND FEATURE: GANJA & HESS (1973): Flirting with the conventions of blaxploitation and horror\, Bill Gunn’s revolutionary independent film GANJA & HESS is a highly stylized and utterly original treatise on sex\, religion\, and African American identity. Duane Jones (Night of the Living Dead) stars as anthropologist Hess Green\, who is stabbed with an ancient ceremonial dagger by his unstable assistant (director Bill Gunn)\, bestowing upon him the blessing of immortality … and the curse of an unquenchable thirst for blood. When the assistant’s beautiful and outspoken wife Ganja (Marlene Clark) comes searching for her missing husband\, she and Hess form an unexpected partnership. Together\, they explore just how much power blood holds. Later recut and released in an inferior version\, this edition represents the original release\, restored by The Museum of Modern Art with support from The Film Foundation\, and mastered in HD from a 35mm negative.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y'all: An Evening with David Wilcox
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first performance in a new collaboration with the Folk All Y’All concert series featuring David Wilcox. \nTickets: $30\nDoors at 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \n\nCleveland-born David Wilcox is a father\, a husband\, a citizen\, and a songwriter. First inspired to play guitar after hearing a fellow college student playing in a stairwell\, Wilcox is now 18 records into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice\, virtuosic guitar chops\, and creative open tunings\, giving him a range and tenderness rare in folk music. \nDavid was the first artist Folk All Y’all reached out to host\, way back in 2014. After that first (more-than-)sold-out show\, David’s come back and played five more times and become the artist we consider our patron saint. We’re thrilled to welcome David to our first concert at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\, a space that has inspired him for years and represents the community he’s built with us in Memphis. \nAbout Folk All Y’all: Our mission is to present world-class singer-songwriters in an intimate\, attentive environment. Our guests and artists are here to connect and do not distract themselves or other guests with photography\, recording\, or other diversions during the show. We are entirely volunteer-run and 100% of ticket sales go directly to the artist.

SUMMARY:Pablo Sáinz Villegas at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance by Spanish guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas at Crosstown Theater. \nTime: doors at 6:30pm / performance at 7:30pm\nTickets: $20 (students $10 with ID at the door) \n“virtuosic playing characterized by its vividly shaded colors and irresistible exuberance …”\n— The New York Times\n“Master of the guitar”\n— Plácido Domingo \n\nAbout the artist:\nPraised as “the soul of the Spanish guitar\,” Pablo Sáinz Villegas has become a worldwide sensation known as this generation’s great guitarist. With his “virtuosic playing characterized by irresistible exuberance\,” as described by The New York Times\, his interpretations conjure the passion\, playfulness\, and drama of Rioja\, his homeland’s rich musical heritage. He is known for his passionate\, emotive\, and open-hearted playing\, whether he is performing at intimate recital halls\, or playing with Plácido Domingo to an audience of over 85\,000 at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid\, where maestro Domingo hailed him as “the master of the guitar.” \nSáinz Villegas has continued to thrive over the past year connecting in new ways with his audience. He was one of the few selected artists to participate at the 2018 Grammy’s Classical event at Carnegie Hall in New York\, and he recorded an anticipated duo album together with tenor Plácido Domingo. Highlights of his recent collaborations with Domingo include a performance on a floating stage on the Amazon River streamed worldwide to millions\, as well as a special anniversary concert at Chile’s National Stadium. Last season\, Sáinz Villegas also made his debut at Chicago’s Grant Park Music Festival under the baton of Carlos Kalmar at the Millennium Park to an audience of 11\,000 people and accomplished summer tours with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. He also gave the world premiere of ‘Rounds\,’ the first composition for guitar by five-time Academy Award-winner John Williams. \nRoutinely drawing comparisons with legendary exponents of his instrument such as Andrés Segovia\, Sáinz Villegas has already appeared on some of the world’s most prestigious stages including Carnegie Hall in New York\, the Philharmonie in Berlin\, and at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Known for a sound so rich and full that it does not need amplification\, his concerto performances regularly inspire new invitations and re-engagements in more than 30 countries. He has played with the world’s top-level orchestras including the Pittsburgh\, Bergen\, and Israel Philharmonics\, as well as Cincinnati\, Spanish National\, and Boston Symphonies. He made a series of important debuts under the baton of Frühbeck de Burgos\, and has enjoyed fruitful collaborations with conductors including Juanjo Mena\, Miguel Harth-Bedoya\, Carlos Kalmar\, Gustavo Gimeno\, and Cristian Macelaru. \nSáinz Villegas continuously searches for ways to communicate with young audiences and to inspire them with music. A born communicator\, the guitarist explains: “Music is among things we cannot touch and that is what makes it most powerful.” Over the last decade\, he has created projects that bring music beyond the performance halls\, reaching more than 20\,000 children and youth through volunteering his time\, establishing music programs\, visiting schools\, and creating unique community activities around the globe. His efforts have granted him invitations to play for the Spanish Royal Family and the Dalai Lama.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents HAXAN (1922) + DEEP RED (1975)
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 HAXAN (1922) and a live score by 1000 LIGHTS\, followed by a screening of DEEP RED (1975). \nHAXAN (1922): Grave robbing\, torture\, possessed nuns\, and a satanic Sabbath: Benjamin Christensen’s legendary silent film HAXAN uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages and early modern era suffered from the same ills as psychiatric patients diagnosed with hysteria in the film’s own time. Far from a dry dissertation on the topic\, the film itself is a witches’ brew of the scary\, the gross\, and the darkly humorous. Christensen’s mix-and-match approach to genre anticipates gothic horror\, documentary re-creation\, and the essay film\, making for an experience unlike anything else in the history of cinema. \nIs 1000 LIGHTS a post punk band? A proto-punk band? A goth band? A band of Memphis’ heaviest hitters? All of the above? Meet A Thousand Lights. Guitarist Joey Killingsworth (Jocephus and the George Jonestown Massacre\, Super Witch\, Grendel Crane\, Static Bombs)\, drummer Russ Thompson (The Margins\, Static Bombs\, New Intruders\, Pisshorse)\, bassist Chris McCoy (Super Witch\, Static Bombs\, New Intruders\, Pisshorse)\, and vocalist Jesse James Davis (Yesse Yavis\, Model Zero) owe their partnership to the Memphis Does Bowie benefit show. Thompson\, who has been a musical partner with McCoy since their days in the legendary 90s art punk band Pisshorse\, sat in with McCoy and Killingsworth’s metal juggernaut Super Witch to cover the Bowie classics “Scary Monsters and Super Creeps\,” “Cat People\,” and “It Ain’t Easy.” Davis\, dressed as Low-era Bowie\, brought the house down fronting Winchester and the Ammunition. Memphis Does Bowie raised more than $20\,000 for Memphis area charities. In 2017\, Killingsworth\, Thompson\, and McCoy were playing together in the death rock project Static Bombs when the trio tapped Davis for a pair of shows: Gimmie Shelter\, a benefit for homeless charities that saw Memphis musicians paying tribute to the Rolling Stones; and a slot at Memphis’ hottest Halloween party\, hosted by Black Lodge Video\, where the band\, joined by saxophonist Seth Moody\, performed The Stooges Funhouse album in its entirety. These shows were such a raging success that the group decided to make it permanent\, renaming themselves A Thousand Lights\, after a line from The Stooges’ “Down On The Street.”  As you can tell from the choices of artists they paid tribute to\, A Thousand Lights sound is slippery and diverse\, incorporating elements from the earliest days of punk and post punk that bands like Bauhaus\, Siouxsie and the Banshees\, and Love and Rockets synthesized into goth rock.  Their debut EP “3nc EP” is available now on iTunes & Spotify.  \nSECOND FEATURE: DEEP RED (1975): 4K restoration! From Dario Argento\, the man behind some the greatest excursions in Italian horror (SUSPIRIA\, THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE\, THE CAT O’ NINE TAILS)\, comes DEEP RED: arguably the ultimate giallo. Aided by a throbbing score from legendary proggers Goblin\, this hallucinatory fever dream is punctuated by some of the most expert setpieces the genre has to offer. One lonely night\, musician Marcus Daly (David Hemmings\, BLOW UP)\, looks up from the plaza below and witnesses the brutal axe murder of a woman in her apartment. Racing to the scene\, Marcus just misses the perpetrator — or does he? As he takes on the role of amateur sleuth\, Marcus ensnares himself in a bizarre web of murder and mystery where nothing is what it seems. \n

SUMMARY:The Lovelight Orchestra at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for big band blues by The Love Light Orchestra. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7pm | Show at 7:30pm \nThe Love Light Orchestra celebrates the Memphis big band blues-style found on the 1950s and ’60s singles of Bobby “Blue” Bland\, B.B. King and Herman ”Junior” Parker. The band of seasoned Memphis musicians derives their name from Bland’s 1961 hit “Turn On Your Love Light.” Their sound is completed with the soulful voice of bluesman John Nemeth. \nIn addition to dipping into the catalogs of Buddy Ace\, Freddie King\, and Percy Mayfield\, the band demonstrates their deftness with uptown blues via the solid originals “Singing For My Supper\, “Lonesome and High\,” and the Ray Charles-inspired opener “See Why I Love You.” Casual fans of Memphis music might only recognize their cover of Al Green’s iconic “Love and Happiness\,” but it’s reset here as a shuffle\, building upon riffs that horn player\, Marc Franklin\, says were inspired by Charles Mingus’ “Fables of Faubus.” \nThe Love Light Orchestra’s overall sound\, says Franklin\, was inspired by Joe Scott whose work Franklin discovered after he was hired to play with Bland in the early ‘90s. “The first time I heard his work\, it sounded like Ellington\, but more down-home with extended harmonics that you don’t necessarily hear on blues or soul records. It’s a jazz thing\, throwing extra notes into the chords—at Stax they didn’t do 6th chords.” \nGrammy-winning producer/engineer Matt Ross-Spang cut the record live at the tiny DKDC bar in Memphis\, and recalls “it was more or less done after we cut it. This music is really supposed to be heard live\, to be in the room to feel the horns\, and it turned out magically — lightning in a bottle twelve times in just a couple hours.” — Scott Baretta\, former editor of Living Blues

SUMMARY:The Music of Nancy Wilson
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Jazz Series is bringing back its popular tribute to The Music of Nancy Wilson! \nJoin us for a jazz tribute to Grammy-winning jazz songstress Nancy Wilson featuring D’Monet (vocalist)\, Darryl Sanford (piano)\, Carl Caspersen (acoustic bass)\, Jonathan Bass (guitar)\, and Mike Assad (drums). \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 6:30 pm | show at 7 pm \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. \nNancy Wilson (born February 20\, 1937) is an American singer with more than seventy albums\, and three Grammy Awards. \n\n \nAbout D’Monet:\nHow an artist starts a journey can say a lot about their destination; belting out melodies from the womb is a divine beginning. Having received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Vocal Music Performance at LeMoyne Owen College\, along with studying under some of opera’s greatest powerhouses such as Grace Bumbry\, Vera Little\, even abroad in Pisa\, Italy under world-renowned Pilralba Sorga\, the classically trained voice known as D’Monet cannot be defined as a Jazz\, Rhythm\, and Blues or a Pop singer … but she has redefined the meaning of the traditional soul artist in what she calls “Alkaline Music” (music that heals). D’Monet allows you to travel on contorted twists of loves’ successes and failures; all while exercising her massive vocal prowess to the center stage. Nurturing her vocal gifts from the tender age of four\, along with developing her ear for the piano by age seven\, she now is a seasoned veteran. D’Monet has shared her soul from New York to Los Angeles\, but it’s only natural she makes Memphis\, Tennessee the home of her “Futuristic Soul.” \nAs D’Monet inspires those within her artistic circle\, she soaks inspiration from classic triple threat artists such as: Anita Baker\, Oleta Adams\, Celine Dion\, Luther Vandross\, Stevie Wonder\, and Rachelle Ferrell. D’Monet has a gift for building bridges between a song and her audience\, crossing cultural and musical genres. This elegant songstress approaches each note with a sophisticated passion\, which leaves the listener wanting more. \nD’Monet’s recordings can only be matched by her live performances in various venues around Memphis\, TN. She has been featured on numerous stages and sets and her sound has allowed her to branch out across several genres. She was honored to perform as the special guest for Black Enterprise’s Women of Power Summit in 2012. Having shared the stage with Soul Crooner Eric Roberson\, and also having a brief stint as a background singer for Blackstreet’s Dave Hollister\, D’Monet has become a musical mainstay\, particularly in the city of Memphis. In 2011\, D’Monet was featured on Markevius Faulkner‘s hit single ‘Day One’\, which received major radio airplay on WHAL-FM’S 95.7 Hallelujah FM. In the wake of Day One’s success\, D’Monet released her debut single\, Oooh Baby (Got Your Back)! \nIn 2013\, D’Monet uprooted herself from her hometown and moved to Des Moines\, IA\, where she unsuspectedly became the Assistant Minister of Music and Vocal Director at a local church\, the front woman and keyboard player for two funk/soul bands R.S.V.P. and The Tighten Up band\, and also made two appearances on KCWI’s “Great Day” Morning Show performing her original music. After returning to Memphis a few years later\, she began releasing more original music. \nOn February 28\, 2019\, D’Monet released her new single “Dry” which is now available on all major digital outlets and streams. Her next single “Trauma” soon followed on May 31\, 2019\, which talks about a physical assault that left her traumatized for a long time. On September 6\, 2019\, D’Monet released her Chrysalis EP\, which signifies the evolution of her life and her music. Stay tuned for what’s next. Her quest to continue along her musical journey is just beginning. \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:Paul Taylor & The PRVLG at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join multi-instrumentalist\, singer/songwriter\, and producer Paul Taylor and indie-pop duo The PRVLG at The Green Room for a special performance. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \n\nABOUT PAUL TAYLOR \nWhat do seemingly disparate artists Chuck Prophet\, Eric Gales\, Shelby Bryant\, David Shouse\, Robert Ellis\, John Nemeth\, Ann Peebles\, Dead Soldiers\, Big Ass Truck\, Lady Rizo\, Amy LaVere\, Mason Ruffner\, Luther Dickinson\, Kelley Mickwee\, The PRVLG\, Cameron Bethany\, Shawn Lane\, Sid Selvidge\, Devil Train\, Aashish Khan\, and many more have in common? \nAnswer: They have all utilized the talents of Memphis musician Paul “Snowflake” Taylor. \nOne of the best kept secrets in Memphis\, yet well respected by those who know of him outside of the city\, multi-instrumentalist\, singer/songwriter\, and producer\, Paul “Snowflake” Taylor has been writing and recording his own material as a one-man band since very early childhood and working as a professional musician since he was 14 years old. \nWith three solo releases under his belt — “Open Closed” (2007) & “Share It” (2009)\, both on Makeshift Records\, and self-released The Old Forest Trail EP (2015)\, Paul has now embarked on a new project called New Memphis Colorways and released a new EP\, Old Forest Loop\, which embodies wide-ranging influences from his storied career as a Memphis musician. \nABOUT THE PRVLG \nA privilege is considered a rare opportunity\, which is exactly why The PRVLG fits this dynamic duo so effortlessly. Their act brings the rhythm section to the forefront of the stage unlike any other band around. \nCreating a timeless sound that seamlessly mixes a vintage flare with a contemporary delivery\, this set of twins certainly bring an element to music that is unheard of. Their blend of Indie pop-esque melodies with some funk\, soul\, jazz\, and r&b make for a Memphis version of Prince. \nWith Christian on bass and Christopher on drums and both singing simultaneously\, the pair craft a truly authentic live show which showcases monster musicianship that is truly one of a kind.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with special guest Bob James
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: Grammy-winning jazz keyboardist\, arranger\, and record producer Bob James. \nDoors at 5 pm | performance at 6 pm \nGeneral admission tickets — $45\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $60 \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 Bob James:\nFrom his early days in Marshall\, MO\, Bob James’ music has captivated audiences throughout the world. \nKnown primarily as a jazz artist\, he has influenced musical genres from Classical to Hip-Hop. His work at the groundbreaking record label CTI allowed James to hone his skills on projects for Hank Crawford\, Grover Washington Jr.\, and Paul Simon among others. \nThe release of his solo album\, One\, launched a stellar career of recordings and performances. His gold selling album\, Touchdown included his composition “Angela” which became the theme song for the sitcom\, Taxi. \nMore recently Mr. James has become known as a pioneering member of the best-selling\ncontemporary jazz group Fourplay\, whose members over the years have included guitarists Lee Ritenour\, Larry Carlton\, and the late Chuck Loeb along with Nathan East on bass and Harvey Mason on drums. \nWhile James is recognized as one of the progenitors of smooth jazz\, his music has also had a profound effect on hip hop\, having been sampled often. Two of James’ songs —“Nautilus” from 1974’s One and “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” from 1975’s Two — are among the most sampled in history. \nJames continues to draw sold-out audiences worldwide\, not only as a solo artist\, but with\ncollaborations with artist such as David Sanborn\, Marcus Miller and The Bob James Trio.\nThe career of Bob James is long\, varied and continues to evolve at every turn.
