The curriculum includes mentorship\, masterclasses\, entrepreneurial workshops\, community engagement activities and performances\, with the goal of fostering the complete musician and global citizen. In 2019\, the group extended their mission even further by creating the non-profit organization\, Imani Winds Foundation\, which exists to support\, connect and uplift their initiatives and more. \nImani Winds’ travels through the jazz world are highlighted by their multi-faceted association with luminary musicians and composers Wayne Shorter\, Paquito D’Rivera and Jason Moran. Their ambitious project\, “Josephine Baker: A Life of Le Jazz Hot!” featured jazz songstress René Marie in performances that brought the house down in New York\, Pittsburgh\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles and St. Louis. \nIn 2021\, Imani Winds released their 9th studio album\, “Bruits” on Bright Shiny Things Records\, which received a 2022 GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.” Gramophone states\, “the ensemble’s hot rapport churns with conviction throughout.” \nImani Winds has recordings on Koch International Classics and E1 Music\, including their 2006 GRAMMY® nominated recording\, “The Classical Underground”. They have also recorded for Naxos and Blue Note and released an acclaimed arrangement of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring on Warner Classics.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y’all: Jessye DeSilva
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Folk All Y’all present Jessye DeSilva in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, June 15\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\n\n\nJessye DeSilva (she/they)’s new\, crowdfunded album\, Renovations\, chronicles an ongoing\, imperfect journey to self-love and -acceptance\, full of both moments of resignation and moments of triumph. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeSilva\, a non-binary\, trans person and the child of a preacher whose conservative religion left no room for their personhood\, examines identity and trauma and reckons with privilege and marginalization across 11 songs that draw from both their classical vocal training and work as a voice teacher for musical theater students at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music and their love of ’90s emo and pop-rock. The 2023 Nashville Scene artist to watch and 2022 Boston Music Awards Americana Artist of the Year nominee put queer and trans empowerment at the very heart of Renovations\, both in their encouraging\, vulnerable lyrics and in the musicians they enlisted to play on their songs.

It is the first movie I know about that combines (1) punk teenagers\, (2) automobile repossessors\, and (3) aliens from outer space. This is the kind of movie that baffles Hollywood\, because it isn’t made from any known formula and doesn’t follow the rules.” — Roger Ebert \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, June 21\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDead Soldiers is an eight-piece band from Memphis\, Tennessee\, whose eclectic compositions feature a rock’n’roll core that lifts five-part vocal harmonies\, horns and strings to create a wall of sound. Building on the musical traditions of the Delta and the melting pot aesthetic that first made Memphis the home of rock and roll\, their music is at once irreverent and uniquely American. While firmly rooted in the modern urban South\, they draw heavily from the inspiration of a range of artists: Tom Waits to The Band\, John Prine and Bob Dylan to Frank Zappa and Randy Newman. Like Dead Soldiers\, they’re all artists who refuse to be easily classified. With humor\, cynicism and an underlying foundation of humanity\, Dead Soldiers’ songs root for the underdog while skewering the hypocrisy of the post-modern media landscape. \n\nOn the heels of their first new music release since 2017 — Dead Soldiers: Ride EP — the band also has a video premiere on June 6 at the Memphis Listening Lab. Recognized for their raucous and rowdy shows\, they seldom get to perform a fair bit of their catalog that is more conducive to a listening room environment. This show will feature many of Dead Soldiers’ least-performed songs and unique arrangements of existing songs in their live repertoire.
