SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Sam Pacetti
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. May’s performance features guitarist Sam Pacetti in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nSam Pacetti is one who brings it all together. A fingerstyle guitar wizard. A deft songwriter\, capable of haunting depth and wry humor in the space of one song. An impassioned and ecstatic vocalist\, as well as a mesmerizing live performer\, seamlessly melding head-spinning guitar pyrotechnics and raw emotion into one breathtaking package. Pacetti represents a culmination of the best of the American and British traditions. His 1997 Waterbug debut\, Solitary Travel\, garnered critical raves. “This guy is very good\, indeed\,” deadpanned the highly respected (and highly critical) UK magazine Folk Roots. And Dirty Linen\, the influential US roots publication\, opined\, “Although the woods are full of young guitar virtuosos\, few have developed the style\, technique\, and artistic wisdom of Sam Pacetti. \nSolitary travel heralds the arrival of one of the most talented instrumentalists and composers to appear in acoustic music in a month of Sundays.” Sam Pacetti grew up in North Florida\, hardly known as a hotbed of either the folk tradition or musical innovation. At age 13\, he found the music of both Chet Atkins and Merle Travis\, profound influences on his early musical development. Then fate intervened shortly afterward in the person of Gamble Rogers\, the legendary picker and raconteur from St Augustine who took the young Pacetti under his wing. It was a time of astonishing musical and emotional growth. Pacetti and Rogers met and played weekly for a year\, until tragically Rogers died while trying to save a drowning tourist caught in an undertow at Flagler Beach\, Florida. \nThough brief in their time together\, Rogers was able to instill in Pacetti the importance of the folk process\, the passing of music and oral tradition from teacher to student. Pacetti still counts Rogers as his most influential mentor. Tradition and innovation neatly balance in Sam Pacetti’s music\, the whole infused by a relentless intelligence intent on musical and philosophical synthesis. Martin Simpson\, Richard Thompson\, Joni Mitchell and Merle Travis are touchstones to Pacetti\, and while there are strong elements of the American primitive school of guitar wizardry throughout his work\, there is a powerful raw emotionality evident as well – an earthy sensuality more reminiscent of a Greg Brown or a red-dirt blues master than of a musical academian. Word has started to spread about Sam Pacetti. And as with anything truly innovative\, it starts at the grassroots. You won’t see Pacetti written up in People or Us. You won’t hear his music on Top-40 radio. \nNo\, word is spreading about Sam Pacetti the way true innovation always does – through the grassroots\, through non-commercial radio and “specialty show” play\, from tapes and CDs passed from friend to friend\, At folk festivals and listening rooms\, and in the tradition stemming from the days of rent-raising parties in the Mississippi Delta (and now carried on by music aficionados unable to find music that interest them within the mainstream). \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Nutria in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a contemporary jazz performance by Nutria from New Orleans. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nNamed after the infamous South Louisiana swamp rat\, Nutria performs original contemporary jazz music with an emphasis on collective improvisation. Their compositional and improvisational practice at once pushes at the boundaries of instrumental music in the 21st century and situates the music within the lineage of New Orleans jazz and groove traditions. \nThis concert at Crosstown Arts is a part of their 2020 album release tour\, celebrating their new album\, “Meeting In Progress\,” released in February 2020 on ears&eyes Records. \n“Showing a clear strategic intelligence and inventiveness and a substantial depth of artistic resourcefulness\,” according to No Depression magazine\, Nutria has toured throughout the United States playing art centers\, jazz clubs\, and dive bars. In 2017\, they performed on the Millennium Stage at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington\, DC. In 2016\, they were commissioned by the New Orleans-based Marigny Opera Ballet to compose “Wary Heat\,” a new ballet that was premiered in February 2017 and reprised in January 2018. In 2019\, Nutria began a weekly residency at one of New Orleans’ top venues for creative music\, Bacchanal Fine Wine. \nNutria was formed in New Orleans in 2014 as a composition workshop for its members\, who were active in different corners of the local music scene. Their sound reflects a diversity of influences yet with a deep commitment to the jazz idiom. \nThe members of Nutria have performed with a wide array of leading talents in New Orleans and around the world\, including Leyla McCalla\, James Singleton\, Johnny Vidocovich\, Ed Petersen\, Mahmoud Chouki\, Sarah Quintana\, the Revelers and local favorites Los Po-boy-citos. Nutria has performed at venues such as the Kennedy Center (Washington\, DC)\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (NOLA)\, the New Orleans Jazz Museum\, Twins Jazz Club (DC)\, Chris’ Jazz Cafe (Philadelphia)\, the Jazz Gallery (Milwaukee)\, the Chatterbox Jazz Club (Indianapolis)\, and the California Clipper (Chicago).

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Modern Masters Jazz Series feat. Roseanna Vitro
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents the Modern Masters Jazz Series\, a monthly series featuring jazz soloists from around the country. \nFor June’s performance\, acclaimed jazz vocalist Roseanna Vitro will be featured in an unforgettable performance with the series house band\, The Ted Ludwig Trio. \nTickets: $20\nDoors 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \nAbout Roseanna Vitro:\n“[Roseanna has] a propensity for eclecticism\, drawing on a wide range of songs and sources from well beyond the jazz tradition.” — Will Friedwald\, City View\, New York \n”Tell Me the Truth is additional evidence that Roseanna Vitro is in the top tier of contemporary jazz vocalists.” — Joe Bebco\, The Syncopated Times \nVitro was born in Hot Springs\, Arkansas. She is the product of two distinct cultural strains: Her father\, who ran the Flamingo nightclub\, divided his music affinities between the pluck of Frank Sinatra and the homeland finery of Italian opera. Her mother sang country and gospel songs by way of the church. \nIn 1978\, Roseanna Vitro moved to New York City with guitarist Scott Hardy and began to study with Gabor Carelli\, a professor from the Manhattan School of Music\, and began to perform with Kenny Werner and Fred Hersch. She sang with Lionel Hampton and toured with him. She appeared at The Blue Note\, Iridium\, Birdland\, and Dizzy’s Jazz Club at Lincoln Center. She appeared with Steve Allen at The Town Hall at The Apollo Theater and recorded an album of Allen’s songs. In 2005\, she performed and recorded with the Kenny Werner Trio at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. She has worked with Kenny Barron\, Christian McBride\, Elvin Jones\, Gary Bartz\, Kevin Mahogany\, and David “Fathead” Newman\, all of whom have appeared on her recordings. She was a guest on Marian McPartland’s radio program\, Piano Jazz. Her album\, The Music of Randy Newman\, received 4 1/2 stars in Down Beat magazine and a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2012. \nAbout the series:\nThe Modern Masters Jazz Series is guest-curated by renowned two-decade New Orleans jazz guitarist Ted Ludwig\, who has received an ASCAP award\, the Louis Armstrong award\, and the Overture to the Cultural Season award\, and is a member of The Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame. Each month in 2020\, Crosstown Arts welcomes jazz artists from New Orleans\, NYC\, LA\, and beyond\, who will perform with The Ted Ludwig Trio. Highlights include Roseanna Vitro\, who has sung with Christian McBride\, Elvin Jones\, and Lionel Hampton; Ed Cherry\, of Dizzy Gillespie’s band; GRAMMY-winner Victor Atkins; and Dee Dee Bridgewater saxophonist Ed Peterson.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Yearning Horizons
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nNew works by Savannah White \nThis will be White’s first solo show. White is an avid traveler\, and Yearning Horizons is a new body of work inspired by her travel experiences. The show is produced and curated by IntrepidArts. \nThe exhibition will open on Friday\, June 26 from 6-8 pm\, and the show will be on view Saturday\, June 27\, 10 am-1 pm. \nOrganized by the artist. \nEntitled Yearning Horizons\, the show reflects an overwhelming passion of the artist: travel. Amsterdam\, Cape Town\, Bangkok\, Milan\, Granada\, Osaka\, Dublin\, Singapore\, London\, Barcelona\, Mt. Fuji\, Paris. \nFrom Brazil to Croatia\, the travel bug is not simply adventure for White but inspiration. Her intellectual curiosity and cultural inhaling takes shape and is expressed in her paintings — some more abstract\, some more representational\, all breathing a spirit of irrepressible wonder in fluid color and motion. \nSelf-taught as a painter\, White’s forays into fashion and experience with photography help shape her ability to capture expression. Now in her third show in two years and her first solo show in a large space\, she stretches effortlessly with the works. \n“I see so much when I travel\, both beauty and despair; it shapes my perspective and who I am. Painting is the best way I know to share the experience of this kind of awakening. I am ever learning how much I don’t know about the world\, and it is an exhilarating thrill\,” said White.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Pierre Bensusan
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. July’s performance features guitarist Pierre Bensusan in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n“The way the guitar would want to sound if it played itself.” \n“Bensusan is very much his own animal. It’s like listening to a butterfly\, to dappled sunshine coming through quaking aspens. His music flits and darts around like fish in a pool. And his compositions manage to encompass both the calmness of the pool and the flashing of the fish. It’s an entrancing\, almost hypnotic thing to watch and hear\, as he seems eager to share his journey\, his light. I was struck by how the aim of each song was to be beautiful. Not witty\, not avant-garde\, not new\, necessarily\, but beautiful. A great craftsman plying his trade. A shepherd with his flock. As I left\, I felt all of a sudden that I’d been to temple after all. My own sort of temple\, and by the end of the service I felt purified\, cleansed\, and ready for the new year.” — Nyack News and Views (USA\, Dan Cohen\, Oct 4\, 2015) \nWinner of the Independent Music Award\, in the Live Performance Album category for his latest triple live album “Encore” (2014)\, “Rose d’Or” of the Montreux Festival for his first album\, “Près de Paris” (Switzerland\, 1976)\, “Best World Music Guitar Player ” by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine (USA\, 2008)\, Pierre Bensusan is recognized as one of the premier musicians of our time. \nIf “World Music” is music that pays tribute to the spirit of a collection of human beings through distinct rhythms\, traditional instruments\, and harmonic colors\, French-Algerian guitarist\, singer\, and composer Pierre Bensusan can be recognized as one of the most eloquent and world musicians today. \nBorn in Oran\, French-Algeria in 1957\, when France was decolonizing its Empire\, Pierre Bensusan’s family moved to Paris when he was four. He began formal studies on piano at the age of 7\, and\, at 11\, taught himself guitar. Influenced in those early days by the folk revival blooming in Britain\, France\, and North America\, Bensusan began first to explore his own diverse musical heritage and then moved to the horizons beyond. \nAt 17\, he signed his first recording contract\, and one year later\, his first album “Pres de Paris” won the Grand Prix du Disque upon his debut at the Montreux Festival in Switzerland. \nDescribed by the L.A. Times as “one of the most unique and brilliant acoustic guitar veterans in the world music scene today\,” Pierre’s name became synonymous with contemporary acoustic guitar genius\, long before the terms New Age\, New Acoustic Music\, or World Music were invented. He has the ability to make a single guitar sound like an entire band as he brings the audience on a mesmerizing musical journey. And yet\, Bensusan is more than what any musician or music lover expects from a guitarist. He is a composer as well as a bilingual and a brave improvisational vocalist\, melding whistles and resonant low notes with something like his own scat technique. \nThere is a sense of something both playful and serious in his work\, an unparalleled sense of freedom in his compositions and his improvisations. His “manner” of playing defies classification – crossing world\, classical\, jazz\, traditional\, folk and more. None can be isolated as simply “Brazilian”\, “Arabic” or “French”; rather\, they represent our world in its current state\, a world sharing itself\, fusing cultures together in ways we have never experienced. A great ambassador of peace. Not to be missed!

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Kraftwerk 3-D at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:This tour has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nElectro pioneers Kraftwerk are bringing their 50th anniversary tour to the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. The performance will benefit Crosstown Arts\, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2020. \nSOLD OUT\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \nKraftwerk celebrate 50th anniversary with a North American tour. Bringing together music and performance art\, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true “Gesamtkunstwerk” – a total work of art. \nThe multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf\, Germany\, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. \nBy the mid 1970s\, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic sound scapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future\, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. \nTheir compositions\, using innovative techniques\, synthetic voices\, and computerized rhythms\, have had a major international influence across an entire range of musical genres: from Electro to Hip Hop\, from Techno to SynthPop. \nIn their live performances\, Kraftwerk — Ralf Hütter\, Henning Schmitz\, Fritz Hilpert\, Falk Grieffenhagen — illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. \nStarting with the retrospective of their catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012\, Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late Sixties. \nThe 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London)\, Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo) Opera House (Sydney)\, Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles)\, Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris)\, Neue National Galerie (Berlin)\, and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). \nIn 2014\, Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Modern Masters Jazz Series feat. Geoff Clapp
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Modern Masters Jazz Series\, a monthly series featuring jazz soloists from around the country. \nAugust’s concert will feature award-winning drummer Geoff Clapp in a spectacular performance with the series house band\, The Ted Ludwig Trio. \nTickets: $20\nDoors 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nAbout Geoff Clapp:\nWhile Geoff Clapp was a high school student at the North Carolina School of the Arts (studying classical percussion and playing in the school’s jazz band)\, he had the opportunity to meet and hear New Orleanians\, including trumpeter Wynton Marsalis\, pianist Ellis Marsalis\, and drummer Herlin Riley (All-Star 1991). “I never knew drums could be played like that\,” exclaims Clapp of Riley’s style and talents. “That really sparked my true interest in jazz.” \nThese events ultimately resulted in Clapp attending the University of New Orleans in the fall of 1989. He was among the first talented group of musicians\, which included drummer Brian Blade (All-Star 1993)\, trumpeter Jeremy Davenport (All-Star 2000)\, and bassist Chris Thomas (All-Star 1999) in the new jazz studies program headed by Ellis Marsalis. “We were just a bunch of hoodlums trying to play jazz\,” says Clapp with a chuckle. \nAbout the series:\nThe Modern Masters Jazz Series is guest-curated by renowned two-decade New Orleans jazz guitarist Ted Ludwig\, who has received an ASCAP award\, the Louis Armstrong award\, and the Overture to the Cultural Season award and is a member of The Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame. Each month in 2020\, Crosstown Arts welcomes jazz artists from New Orleans\, NYC\, LA\, and beyond\, who will perform with the Ted Ludwig Trio. Highlights include Roseanna Vitro\, who has sung with Christian McBride\, Elvin Jones\, and Lionel Hampton; Ed Cherry\, of Dizzy Gillespie’s band; GRAMMY-winner Victor Atkins; and Dee Dee Bridgewater saxophonist Ed Peterson.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Shane Hennessy
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. August’s performance features Irish virtuoso guitarist Shane Hennessy in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nIrish virtuoso guitarist Shane Hennessy has established himself as one of the leading guitarists on the world stage\, known widely for his fingerstyle\, flatpicking\, and percussive guitar-playing approaches. With a unique style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band – covering drums\, bass\, rhythm\, and lead lines – Shane builds a complete sonic world entirely on his own. \nBilled as “one of the most exciting live performers of his generation\, with an ability to move between styles and genres with ease” by Irish Music Magazine\, audiences can never be too sure what will come next during the exciting mix of jazz\, blues\, country\, soul\, traditional Irish music\, and world music he offers. With the addition of some smooth vocals\, genre-hopping improvisations\, and well-arranged covers\, it makes sense why music legend super-producer Nile Rodgers (CHIC) thinks that “his style is killer\, it’s really cool stuff\,” and why guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel says that Shane “is one of the most engaging musicians in the world today.” \nOver the course of a performance\, Hennessy brings the audience from elated highs to the depths of reflection\, delivering stories\, anecdotes\, and off-the-cuff remarks with the same passion he holds for the music he performs. He says that it is hard to describe in words what he does on stage without experiencing it in person\, but it becomes clear upon witnessing his performance why his tour schedule is so hectic. In 2019 alone\, he will visit much of mainland Europe\, Russia\, China\, and the United States\, the pinnacle of this world tour being a solo set at the prestigious MerleFest in North Carolina\, widely recognized as the mecca of Americana and Roots music in the USA. \nA musician from a young age\, he credits his background in Irish traditional music as the base on which he has built his genre-defying musical explorations. Initially a concertina player under the tuition of the renowned Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh\, Hennessy first turned to the guitar when he was inspired by the music of James Taylor. Becoming more interested in songwriting and in music in general\, it was when he discovered the styles of Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins that his interest in solo performance blossomed. From that point on\, he has toured the world\, with thousands of shows under his belt\, and a proven track record as a performer\, songwriter\, arranger\, accompanist\, and session musician. \nA highlight of his career to date has been a sold-out a solo show in The National Concert Hall in Dublin\, Ireland\, for the release of his latest CD ‘Marrakech’. Another milestone in 2018 was when Shane worked with Bill Whelan\, Grammy-award winning composer of Riverdance\, on a piece of music commissioned for guitar\, piano\, and string quartet. He has also given numerous lectures and guitar workshops all over the world for guitarists and musicians eager to learn more about his unique musical approach. \nStill\, given his successes to date\, he is always eager to keep pushing the boundaries of what he can do on one guitar. To quote RTÉ Radio host Marty Whelan: “There was part of me that didn’t really believe that he could do what he does on one guitar until he came into the studio\, sat down in front of me\, and played. I thought there had to be loops\, or extra tracks\, or recording tricks\, and there was none of that – my jaw dropped! What a talent!”

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Modern Masters Jazz Series feat. James Singleton
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Modern Masters Jazz Series\, a monthly series featuring jazz soloists from around the country. \nFor September’s performance\, New Orleans-based bassist\, composer\, and producer James Singleton will be featured in an unforgettable performance with the series house band\, The Ted Ludwig Trio. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nJames Singleton is an acoustic bassist\, composer\, and producer. He is a member of the New Orleans-based jazz group Astral Project with Johnny Vidacovich\, Tony Dagradi\, and Steve Masakowski. He has been described as one of the best and most sought-after bassists in New Orleans. \nHe has performed with John Scofield\, Stanton Moore\, and John Medeski\, as well as John Abercrombie\, Art Baron\, Ellis Marsalis\, Earl Turbinton\, Eddie Harris\, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown\, Lionel Hampton\, Arnett Cobb\, and Banu Gibson\, among others. He has recorded with Chet Baker\, Alvin “Red” Tyler\, James Booker\, Johnny “Tan Canary” Adams\, Charlie Rich\, and Zachary Richard\, among others. \nHe produced Astral Project’s Elvado which won OffBeat magazine’s 1998 Best Modern Jazz Album of the Year award. Although Elvado has been described as “straight-ahead bop-influenced jazz with a Crescent City ambiance\,” Astral Project’s live performances are also known for improvisation\, which Singleton has described as “composing in the groove.” \nHe has led projects such as “3 Now 4\,” “The James Singleton Orchestra\,” and “The James Singleton Trio.” Some of Singleton’s recent projects include playing as a member of the New Orleans saxophonist Robert Wagner Trio and the New Orleans keyboardist Robert Walter Trio. In early 2007\, he toured nationally with Skerik and Mike Dillon. \nIn 2008\, various projects included an experimental jazz string quartet composed of two former Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra members Dave Rebeck and Matt Rhody\, as well as cellist Helen Gillet. Singleton moved to Los Angeles after Hurricane Katrina but continued to perform frequently in New Orleans. In December 2008\, Singleton returned to New Orleans.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Pearl Django
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. September’s performance features Pearl Django in an intimate performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nWith a performance history spanning more than two decades\, Pearl Django endures as one of the most highly regarded Hot Club style groups working today. Although the band’s roots are firmly in the music made famous by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli\, its extensive repertoire includes traditional jazz classics and original compositions. Pearl Django has performed at festivals\, dances\, and nightspots throughout the U.S. and abroad. They have played at the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois sur Seine and have been featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” The band’s signature style is marked by pristine and dexterous string work\, colors of Bal Musette\, the steady pulse of rhythm guitar\, and an unmistakable swing that delights audiences of all musical sensibilities. Throughout the years\, Pearl Django has cultivated a devoted and enthusiastic following and they continue to play to packed houses wherever they perform. \n“Pearl Django play(s) gypsy jazz … and they do it with such verve\, skill\, and pleasure that they’re pretty much irresistible to jazz and non-jazz listeners alike.” — Seattle Weekly \n“Pearl Django: The gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt done to perfection!” — Paul de Barros\, The Seattle Times \nMembers: Tim Lerch & Jim Char\, Guitar; Michael Gray\, Violin; David Lange\, Accordion; Rick Leppanen\, Bass \nThe group’s inception was as a trio in Tacoma\, Washington in 1994. The focus of Pearl Django was\, and is\, to incorporate the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with American swing music. They quickly expanded to a quintet\, adding a violinist and a third guitarist. In 1999\, along with the release of their third and fourth CDs\, the group incorporated their own record label\, Modern Hot Records. At about the same time\, MHR signed a national distribution agreement with City Hall Records in San Rafael\, California. The October 2000 release of Avalon put the group on the national map with seven weeks of Gavin top-forty airplay and current sales of over 17\,000 copies. In May 2001\, Pearl Django was featured on All Things Considered. In June 2002\, Pearl Django performed at the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois sur Seine\, just outside of Paris\, France. As of 2007 Pearl Django is working as both a quartet and a quintet (with accordionist\, David Lange). All of the members are contributing original compositions to the band’s expansive repertoire. They have released 13 CDs to date. \n“If Paris is the city of love\, then Pearl Django’s music is the flirtatious accompaniment.”\n— 6Moons.com\, review of Under Paris Skies.

DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents the Modern Masters Jazz Series\, a monthly series featuring jazz soloists from around the country. \nFor October’s performance\, jazz guitarist Howard Alden will be featured in an unforgettable performance with the series house band\, The Ted Ludwig Trio. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n“He may be the best of his generation\,” writes Owen Cordle in JazzTimes. George Kanzler of the Newark Star Ledger proclaims that he is “the most impressive and creative member of a new generation of jazz guitarists.” And Chip Deffaa of the New York Post observed that he is “…one of the very finest young guitarists working today.” \nIt seems that the only thing regarding Howard Alden on which the critics have debate is whether the remarkable jazz guitarist is one of the best or simply the best. \nBorn in Newport Beach\, California\, in 1958\, Howard began playing at age ten\, inspired by recordings of Armstrong\, Basie\, and Goodman\, as well as those by guitarists Barney Kessel\, Charlie Christian\, Django Reinhardt\, and George Van Eps. Soon\, he was working professionally around Los Angeles\, playing in groups ranging from traditional to mainstream to modern jazz. In 1979\, Alden went east for a summer in Atlantic City with Red Norvo\, and continued to perform with him frequently for several years. \nUpon moving to New York City in 1982\, Alden’s skills\, both as soloist and accompanist\, were quickly recognized and sought-out for appearances and recordings with such artists as Joe Bushkin\, Ruby Braff\, Joe Williams\, Warren Vache\, and Woody Herman. \nHe has continued to win accolades from critics and musicians alike\, adding Benny Carter\, Flip Phillips\, Mel Powell\, Bud Freeman\, Kenny Davern\, Clark Terry\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and George Van Eps\, as well as notable contemporaries such as Scott Hamilton and Ken Peplowski to his list of impressive credits. \nHoward Alden has been a Concord Jazz recording artist since the late ’80s\, where his prolific recorded output as leader\, co-leader\, and versatile sideman has captured an artist of consistently astonishing virtuosity and originality. \nHoward Alden was voted “Best Emerging Talent-Guitar” in the first annual JazzTimes critics’ poll\, 1990\, and “Talent Deserving Wider Recognition” in the 1996\, 1992\, 1993\, and 1995 Downbeat critics’ poll. In February of 2009\, Howard was recognized as a “Modern Maestro\,” one of DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE’S 75 Great Guitarists of all time. “An original virtuoso.”

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Don Ross
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. October’s performance features Canadian guitarist Don Ross in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nIn 1988\, Don became the first Canadian to win the U.S. National Fingerpick Guitar Championship. He won again in 1996\, still the only two-time winner of the competition. He signed a recording deal with Toronto-based Duke Street Records and released three CDs for them between 1989 and 1993. He then recorded three CDs for Sony/Columbia between 1994 and 1997\, and then three more for Milwaukee-based Narada Records between 1999 and 2003. \nWith the collapse of the conventional recording industry in the early 21st century\, Don entered into a new venture with Milwaukee-based CandyRat Records and its founder\, Rob Poland. The move to a completely internet-based model of releasing recordings resulted in the first ever CandyRat CD\, 2005’s Music for Vacuuming. Don has released numerous CDs and DVDs for the new label\, including his new album\, A Million Brazilian Civilians\, on CD and see-through orange vinyl. \nDon has toured regularly since 1989\, across Canada\, the USA\, a dozen European countries\, Japan\, Taiwan\, China\, Australia\, Russia\, and India. He has played with symphony orchestras in Canada and Germany and collaborated live and on recording with U.S. guitarist Andy McKee\, Canadian singer/guitarist Brooke Miller\, Canadian guitarist Calum Graham\, and Toronto bassist Jordan O’Connor. He also composes scores for television\, radio\, and film\, and does production and recording engineering for a variety of other musicians. In addition to acoustic guitar\, Don also plays electric guitar\, slide dobro and lapsteel guitar\, harp guitar\, voice\, piano\, keyboards\, bass guitar\, and drums. He has just started learning to play the Kelstone\, a 9-string guitar developed by Belgian musician/inventor Jan Van Kelst. At this point\, Don admits that learning a new instrument from scratch at this point in his career is “humbling. I’m a rank amateur Kelstone player\, and I still completely suck at it!” \nDon Ross grew up in Montreal\, has lived at various times in Ontario\, Nova Scotia\, the USA\, China\, and Quebec\, and now resides in Halifax.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Modern Masters Jazz Series feat. Victor Atkins

Victor is a native of Selma\, Alabama\, and currently lives in New Orleans\, Louisiana. Atkins had an early start with jazz as his father loved Charlie Parker. At home\, he learned how to appreciate music and develop an ear for more complex music. \nHe began his professional career on Delfeayo Marsalis’ “Pontius Pilate’s Decision” record. After recording he moved on to be a professional pianist alongside many notable musicians such as Elvin Jones\, Mark Whitfield\, Nnenna Freelon\, Joshua Redman\, Wynton Marsalis\, and Leroy Jones.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Brooks Robertson
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. November’s performance features guitarist Brooks Robertson in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nBrooks Robertson just doesn’t need much more than two thumbs\, eight fingers\, and six strings on a wooden box to carry his listeners away. \nHailed by prominent exponents of his instrument like Nokie Edwards\, Thom Bresh\, John Jorgenson\, and Mason Williams\, the young fingerstyle guitarist embodies the creative vision of a postmodern world: It’s the music that counts. Brooks utilizes his superb technical abilities to play bass\, rhythm\, and melody simultaneously and surpass the borders of conventional genres. He merges hauntingly beautiful compositions\, country rhythms\, and jazzy harmonies with funky licks into his very own art form – sometimes delivered with a punch\, sometimes with a smile. \nBrooks was born in Eugene\, Oregon\, in 1989. Seeing Buster B. Jones perform at a festival near his hometown became a life-changing experience for the kid from the sticks. At just eleven years old\, he was immediately inclined to pick up the guitar. Soon\, the world-renowned fingerstyle virtuoso and instructor dedicated his spare time to introducing his new fans into the secrets of the fretboard\, and after six months of lessons the natural talent performed his first show with his mentor. \nWhen Buster B. Jones took him under his wings\, Brooks began playing high-profile gigs such as the Nokie Edwards Festival\, the NAMM Show in Anaheim\, the Montreal Jazz Festival\, or the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield among others. By the time he was a teenager he had become the youngest endorsee of Godin Guitars and traveled to several states and foreign countries to perform. Brooks went on to play on Garrison Keillor’s National Public Radio classic “A Prairie Home Companion” in 2004\, where he won first place in a talent competition for 12 to 20 year old participants. \nIn recent years\, while still appearing regularly at prestigious events like the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society (CAAS) Convention in Nashville\, Brooks focused on perfecting his craft\, soaking up new tunes\, styles\, and techniques\, as well as blending them into his own groovy and soulful original music. He entered the “Yamaha Six String Theory Guitar Competition\,” which drew participants from more than 40 countries all over the world. Brooks was invited to perform in the finals at the Broad Stage in Los Angeles in March 2010. A star-studded jury\, including Steve Lukather and Lee Ritenour\, eventually chose him as winner of the country category and second place winner overall. \nAlthough he is deeply rooted in the powerful tradition of the genre\, founded by the likes of Merle Travis\, Jerry Reed\, Thom Bresh\, and Buster B. Jones\, Brooks also draws inspiration from the elegant mastery of the legendary Chet Atkins and other phenomenal players. His own compositions and arrangements have even been compared to fingerstyle jazz champions Lenny Breau and Earl Klugh. Now\, as energy and maturity come together\, this young man is ready to step out of his mentor’s shadows and electrify the world with the sheer acoustic beauty his fingers create\, when touching a set of strings. \n“The future of American fingerstyle guitar” – Buster B. Jones \n“I’ve always loved playing with Brooks. He’s a joy to be around!” – Tommy Emmanuel CGP \n“I was completely knocked out with the acoustic guitar virtuosity of Brooks Robertson! Brooks has a very original touch and sound\, plus monster chops. He’s always making great music with his guitar. I’m sure Brooks will be sharing his music with the entire world and have an incredible career.” – Lee Ritenour \n“Brooks Robertson plays like the house is on fire.” – Thom Bresh \n“All guitar players are like Frankensteins. Their music is made out of bits and pieces of other players. In Brooks’ case\, he’s a son of a Frankenchops\, the well-known monster picker Buster B. Jones. Buster and Brooks are both so scary … the legend continues.” – Mason Williams \n“Brooks Robertson has one of the very best techniques in fingerstyle guitar. You can hear the influences of Buster B. Jones\, Jerry Reed\, and all the great fingerpickers past … and he’s writing some fabulous new material. An amazing guitar player who’s showing the rest of us how it’s done! Nobody whops Brooks Robertson!” – Richard Smith
