SUMMARY:Artist Talks
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Artist Talks for “MANE” and “Hidden Gems” in the East Atrium. \nThe East Atrium at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, July 20\, 2024\nTime: 2-4 pm\nTickets: Free + open to the public \n\nCrosstown Arts presents the Artist Talks for “MANE” and “Hidden Gems” exhibitions\, moderated by Shahidah Jones and francis\, the Truman. There will also be a performance by spoken-word artist Matt Esteis (Strength in Words). \n\nMANE\nIn the South we have a language like no other. Some people think it’s drawn out\, others think it’s charming. Some folks may appropriate\, but none can replicate. In this culmination of speech\, artists expose their own experiences with southern vernacular. All content will reflect the various interpretations from local Memphis-based artist in their hometown. The show will explore how southern speech has shaped their view of community and themselves. \nHidden Gems\nTo level up we must get out of our own way. That can begin with taking a chance or creating one. In this exhibition we search for the hidden gems in our community. This show includes artists with modest visibility and offers them an opportunity to show up and be uncovered. \nCurated by Najee Strickland and Kiara Sally

SUMMARY:Artist Talks: Melissa Dunn\, Kevin Brooks\, and Birdcap
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Artist Talks: Melissa Dunn\, Kevin Brooks\, and Michael “Birdcap” Roy in The Galleries. \nThe East Atrium at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, April 13\, 2024\nTalks: 1-3 pm\nTickets: Free and open to the public \nCurrent exhibiting artists Melissa Dunn\, Kevin Brooks\, and Michael “Birdcap” Roy will discuss their work\, processes\, and influences. It’s a chance to get a special glimpse behind the curtain and better understand the art and the artists. \nThe Earthworm and the Hawk is the overlap between two states of being. In the private and non-verbal world of Melissa Dunn’s sketchbook\, she burrows deep\, generating drawings intuitively from her imagination. As the pages fill up\, she steps back and shifts perspective\, becoming more objective. The lay of the land comes into sharp focus. Here she maps out\, poses questions\, and acts decisively. \nWhat were you meant for? is an art exhibition that delves deep into the world of film to uncover the seldom-seen layers of Black male identity. It navigates a tapestry of scenes that bring to the forefront the poignant battles between vulnerability and societal expectations\, challenging the confining boxes of toxic masculinity. Through curated cinematic moments\, the exhibition forces viewers to confront their own biases and question ingrained beliefs about strength\, resilience\, and emotional depth. \nIliumpta is a retelling of Homer’s Iliad set in the Southernmost bayous of Mississippi. Named after the county the story takes place in\, Iliumpta draws comparisons between masculinity in the American South and the sandaled heroes of yore\, often pointing out the weakness in a regional outlook that insists on staying put during hurricanes.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for “The Earthworm and the Hawk”
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents an Opening Reception for “The Earthworm and the Hawk” by Melissa Dunn in the Galleries at Crosstown Arts. \nThe Galleries at Crosstown Arts\, East Atrium\nFriday\, February 9\, 2024\nTime: 6-8 pm\nTickets: Free and open to the public \nThe Earthworm and the Hawk is the overlap between two states of being. \nIn the private and non-verbal world of Melissa Dunn’s sketchbook\, she burrows deep\, generating drawings intuitively from her imagination. As the pages fill up\, she steps back and shifts perspective\, becoming more objective. The lay of the land comes into sharp focus. Here she maps out\, poses questions\, and acts decisively. \nBecause these modalities are distinct from one another\, it takes time and patience to figure out ways of unifying them. Their push/pull tendencies can disrupt as much as facilitate. It’s a continual process. Like two rocks rubbed together just the right way\, the friction between the searcher and the strategist can generate sparks or a full blown explosion. \n\nMelissa Dunn is from Memphis\, Tennessee. She spent her early years immersed in the city’s music scene\, splitting her time between playing with bands and making visual art. Although she still plays guitar and sings\, today music is mostly an inward-facing part of her studio life\, with an audience of sketchbooks\, drawings\, and paintings\, which she refers to as her “highly energized objects.”

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for “Iliumpta”
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents an Opening Reception for “Iliumpta” by Michael “Birdcap” Roy in the Galleries at Crosstown Arts. \nThe Galleries at Crosstown Arts\, East Atrium\nFriday\, February 9\, 2024\nTime: 6-8 pm\nTickets: Free and open to the public \nIliumpta is a retelling of Homer’s Iliad set in the Southernmost bayous of Mississippi. Named after the county the story takes place in\, Iliumpta draws comparisons between masculinity in the American South and the sandaled heroes of yore\, often pointing out the weakness in a regional outlook that insists on staying put during hurricanes. \nDirectly\, this work is about Southern fatalism and its effects on masculinity. Fatalism makes an outlook so despairing that stoicism may masquerade as heroism. The men in these works shout from a nihilistic void\, and in their attempts to be heroic\, they\, like the ancients before them\, choose death over happiness\, a closed ear before sound advice\, and doom before an apology. \nMichael Roy\, a.k.a. Birdcap\, grew up near the bayous of Southern Mississippi\, a region battered by hurricanes and scarred by a violent history. In the past decade\, Birdcap’s career as a muralist has spanned continents\, but the artist’s work is a product of the South\, both a love letter to the region he calls home and a challenge to its problems.

SUMMARY:“But Then\, Suddenly\, I Was Looking From the Inside Out”
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents “But Then\, Suddenly\, I Was Looking From the Inside Out” by Coe Lapossy on the East Pop-Out Walls.\n \nThe East Pop-Out Walls at Crosstown Arts\nOn view through Sunday\, January 21\, 2024\nTickets: Free and open to the public \nThe first time Coe Lapossy heard someone talk about compartmentalizing their life\, so they could make all the separate and demanding things work together\, theyI were a kid watching a television interview with Jodie Foster. It was the typical interview question\, “How do you handle such a busy life? How do you accomplish all this?” Foster very nonchalantly explained that she just compartmentalizes everything. Lapossy remembers realizing that this was a completely unfamiliar way of being. They did not understand what Jodie was talking about\, and they did not believe they could live that way. But Then\, Suddenly\, I Was Looking From the Inside Out is about “no compartments.” Everything is mashing together in life all the time — and while Lapossy longs for stability and order — it’s all happening at once and they love how that feels — what that allows for. Not to be confused with multitasking\, this is a kind of nurtured chaos. \nThrough a resistance to the tenants of modernism\, Coe Lapossy centers erased histories and marginalized labor. They create work that revels in the subversive\, how it sneaks in and makes change\, how it works undetected because it must. They revisit artifacts of queerness wedged within a seemingly straight world\, choosing these references\, linking narratives from various times throughout history\, things forgotten\, erased\, messages that “flew under the radar.” With the reuse of these artifacts they create a meditation on what bodies we value\, how we memorialize\, and what/who survives under the conditions we create.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Autumn Art Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents an Opening Reception for the Autumn Art Exhibitions in the Galleries at Crosstown Arts.\n \nThe Galleries at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, September 1\, 2023\nTime: 6-8 pm\nTickets: Free and open to the public \nCelebrate the opening of the autumn/winter 2023 art exhibitions by Ahmad George\, Noah Thomas Miller\, and Coe Lapossy with an evening of art\, conversation\, and food at Crosstown Arts. The menu for the evening is prepared by Chef Cole Jeanes\, founder of Kinfolk Restaurant\, and the food is generously provided by Ben E. Keith Co. \nThe Molasses Man & Other Delta Tales serves as an anthology of stories based off of Ahmad George’s life and experiences with people they’ve encountered here and not. These works feature scenes with existing and non-existing figures from folklore and mythology sourced from the American South\, elsewhere\, and created. \nAhmad George is a painter and multimedia artist from Memphis\, Tennessee. They’ve shown at NADA Miami as well as national and international group and solo exhibitions.Through their work\, they explore the liminal space between reality\, mythology\, folklore\, and self. Their world-building thins the veil of this world by mixing  imagery of the American South (mostly scenes from Tennessee and Mississippi) with local and sourced myths from different parts of the world. Oftentimes\, they use people from their own life to be the protagonists of these narratives. Major themes they explore in their paintings currently include generational history\, transformation\, consequence\, and spiritual alchemy. \n___________________________________________________________________________ \nDays follows the everyday observations of the structures we interact with. The houses become more than just a residence\, but become individuals themselves. The shadows start to blur the line of where the walls stop and where a presence might begin. \nNoah Thomas ​​Miller is Illinois-born but finds his home in Memphis. He works in multivalent mediums\, whether that be woodworking\, film\, sound installation\, or a combination of materials\, to preserve memory and tell stories. \n___________________________________________________________________________ \nBut Then\, Suddenly I Was Looking From the Inside Out is about “no compartments.” Everything is mashing together in life all the time — and while Lapossy longs for stability and order — it’s all happening at once and they love how that feels — what that allows for. Not to be confused with multitasking\, this is a kind of nurtured chaos. \nThrough a resistance to the tenants of modernism\, Coe Lapossy centers erased histories and marginalized labor. They create work that revels in the subversive\, how it sneaks in and makes change\, how it works undetected because it must. They revisit artifacts of queerness wedged within a seemingly straight world\, choosing these references\, linking narratives from various times throughout history\, things forgotten\, erased\, messages that “flew under the radar.” With the reuse of these artifacts they create a meditation on what bodies we value\, how we memorialize\, and what/who survives under the conditions we create. \n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Spring 2023 Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:The Galleries at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, April 21\, 2023\nTimes: 6-8 pm\nTickets: Free and open to the public \nCrosstown Arts announces its spring 2023 arts programming — “Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas” by McLean Fahnestock\, “Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line” by Khara Woods\, “Entrances\, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt” by Tangela Mathis\, and “Color Thread” by Carl Fox. \nThe opening reception is scheduled for Friday\, April 21\, 6-8 p.m. The exhibitions run from Saturday\, April 22\, through Sunday\, August 6.   \nScreening Room:\nMcLean Fahnestock — “Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas”\n \nThis exhibition is composed of videos from McLean Fahnestock’s Stratagem series\, where the sea and sky flip and merge to generate a new\, seductive yet false horizon. Stratagems are plans or schemes that are designed to deceive. Usually referring to warfare\, they are a well-executed artifice upon an enemy. Working with her interest in desire as it manifests in the landscape\, these works present the ways that our desires can open a door to our ultimate deception.  \nIn a presentation unique to Crosstown Arts\, the videos have been loaded into a custom program that randomly chooses the video and the length of time the video will loop before the next one is randomly chosen to play. Viewers will have a shifting experience that will never repeat. \nThe title for the exhibition comes from the first of the 36 Stratagems – a 6th century Chinese text covering political\, military\, and social strategy written by an unknown scholar. \nMcLean Fahnestock works with the dynamically changing landscape. Her practice is centered on our desire for specific visual and physical landscapes as manifested through the concept of paradise. This has led to investigations into how this desire has been the catalyst for climate change\, colonialism\, and ecocide. She utilizes digital forms of collage\, video\, and new media. McLean received a BFA from Middle Tennessee State University and MFA from California State University Long Beach. Her work has been exhibited and screened across the United States and internationally. Her work was selected for Off the Screen at the 57th Ann Arbor Film Festival. She has been an artist in residence at Stove Works in Chattanooga\, Tennessee\, and The Lock-Up in Newcastle\, New South Wales\, Australia. McLean keeps her studio in Old Hickory\, Tennessee. \n \nEast Gallery: \nKhara Woods — “Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line” \n“Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line” presents a collection of paintings\, sculpture and creative devices developed since 2016. The works examine the creation of movement and texture focusing on a restricted set of grids\, bold colors and shapes inspired by basic geometry. Within these confines\, there are arrangements that intertwine\, shift and vibrate across canvas and wood.\n\nKhara Woods was born and raised in Memphis\, Tennessee. She comes from a family of artists and craftspeople. She continues the tradition with her geometric abstract paintings and sculpture. Woods began working as a public artist in 2015\, creating and installing murals. In 2016\, she began her studio practice. Woods works primarily with wood\, using it as a canvas or to make 3D art. Mural Arts Philadelphia commissioned Woods as a lead artist for its Art & Environment Initiative in 2019. She completed her first large-scale data visualization mural\, “Basin Portraits\,” in October of that year. She created paintings and mini sculptural studies for her first solo exhibition in October 2020 at the Beverly and Sam Ross Gallery at Christian Brothers University. Some of Woods’ latest op-art-inspired paintings and a layered wood sculpture were displayed in the Axis exhibition at Hilliard Art Museum in Lafayette\, Louisiana in 2021. Since then\, Woods is continuing to develop her studio practice and making more 3D works. and State Fellowship Program\, and was the finalist for the Southern Prize. \n \nWest Gallery: \nTangela Mathis — “Entrances\, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt” \n“Entrances\, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt” presents contrasting aspects of personality\, showcasing the yin and yang of pneuma. The exhibit represents a mental\, emotional\, and spiritual transformation within a palpable dreamscape. Works presented depict and embrace ideas of transitory spaces visually\, mentally and physically.  \n“Entrances\, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt” offers the public a glimpse into the unfiltered psyche of TANGELA. The exhibit presents contrasting aspects of her personality\, showcasing the yin and yang of her pneuma. TANGELA is undergoing a mental\, emotional\, and spiritual transformation\, and invites visitors to witness her journey as she ebbs and flows.\n\n \nArt Bar Bar Top: \nCarl Fox — “Color Thread”  \n“Color Thread” by Carl Fox is a mixed-media installation featuring works in acrylic\, oil\, and watercolor paired with text. The installation invites the viewer to move along a tapestry of color and hold space for Carl’s thoughts on the nature of color and how an examination of that nature can be brought to other aspects of life. Do colors have identity? Can one re-create an experience of color? How do the richest colors — browns\, coppers\, maroons — seem to slide under us\, unnoticed\, as we move through everyday life?

SUMMARY:The Peace Chronicles\, Part 1 (ICEBERG + Blueshift + Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz)
DESCRIPTION:ICEBERG New Music\, Blueshift Ensemble\, and acclaimed poet Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz present “The Peace Chronicles (Part 1)” at Crosstown Theater. \n\n\n\n\n\nEast Atrium\nThursday\, August 18\, 2022\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nTickets: pay-what-you-can\nPURCHASE TICKETS / RSVP HERE \nCrosstown Arts was supported by New Music USA’s Organizational Development Fund with support in part from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature\, and supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, with support from The Aaron Copland Fund for Music\, Howard Gilman Foundation\, and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. Support for the Organization Development Fund is also provided by contributions from the New Music USA endowment.\n\nICEBERG New Music\, Blueshift Ensemble\, and acclaimed poet Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz present “The Peace Chronicles (Part 1)\,” an evening of music and spoken word focused on finding peace in a violent and chaotic world. Blueshift Ensemble will perform works by Drake Andersen\, Victor Baéz\, Stephanie Boyd\, Haralobos Stafylakis\, Yu-Chun Chien\, and Johnny MacMillan. Dr. Sealey-Ruiz will read from her recent book The Peace Chronicles. \nAfter the performance\, the poet\, performers\, and composers will join audience members for drinks and discussion. \nABOUT THE MUSIC \nThe Peace Chronicles is a two-evening program of poetry and music created as a collaboration between composer collective ICEBERG New Music (www.icebergnewmusic.com) and award-winning poet and scholar Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz (www.yolandasealeyruiz.com). The program premiered to sold-out audiences in New York City in Spring 2022. Each of the newly-composed works included in The Peace Chronicles is inspired by a poem from Dr. Sealey-Ruiz’s book of the same name. In performance\, the words and music are juxtaposed next to one another\, inviting listeners to find connections between the different media. The programs are structured dramatically\, the poems tracing a path from conflict through reconciliation and peace. \nABOUT ICEBERG NEW MUSIC \nICEBERG New Music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. ICEBERG’s mission is to promote the idea that substance\, not surface\, is the heart of music creation and perception. The collective’s ten member composers hail from different schools of thought and cultivate radically different sounds — from musical theater and indie rock to avant-garde sounds and electronic installations — but their contrasting musical languages belie a shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert\, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century. \nABOUT YOLANDA SEALEY-RUIZ \nDr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz is an award-winning Associate Professor at Teachers College\, Columbia University. Her research focuses on racial literacy in teacher education\, Black girl literacies\, and Black and Latinx male high school students. A sought-after speaker on issues of race\, culturally responsive pedagogy\, and diversity\, Sealey-Ruiz works with K-12 and higher education school communities to increase their racial literacy knowledge and move toward more equitable school experiences for their Black and Latinx students. Sealey-Ruiz appeared in Spike Lee’s “2 Fists Up: We Gon’ Be Alright”\, a documentary about the Black Lives Matter movement and the campus protests at Mizzou. Her co-authored book [with Dr. Detra Price-Dennis] Advancing Racial Literacies in Teacher Education: Toward Activism for Equity in Digital Spaces will be published in April 2021. \nABOUT BLUESHIFT ENSEMBLE \nBlueshift 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. Members of Blueshift are involved in almost every corner of the Memphis music community\, from performing in the Memphis Symphony Orchestra\, recording in the studio\, teaching at the University of Memphis and Rhodes College\, playing in your favorite local bands\, and composing original music for film. Founded by flutist Jenny Davis and cellist Jonathan Kirkscey in 2016\, Blueshift aims to bring classical music out of the concert hall and into the community. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:The Fourth Wall Hybrid Arts Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents The Fourth Wall Hybrid Arts Ensemble’s one-of-a-kind family-friendly variety show\, Fruit Flies Like a Banana. \nTICKETS: $10 plus fees ($5 plus fees with student ID at check-in) \nThe Fourth Wall blends music\, theater\, dance\, and acrobatics into a new hybrid art form. This trio of musicians creates new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets classic repertoire to make music that leaps off the stage. On Saturday\, January 29\, The Fourth Wall presents their one-of-a-kind family-friendly variety show\, Fruit Flies Like a Banana\, in the East Atrium at Crosstown Arts. \nThe Fourth Wall puts a vaudevillian twist on classical chamber music with their one-of-a-kind variety show\, Fruit Flies Like a Banana. Chopin on hoverboards\, Satie performed while hanging upside down\, Joplin on plastic boomwhacker tubes\, and tangos where the musicians are also the dancers! The audience chooses the order of over 20 pieces specially chosen for each show in this fast-paced hybrid arts experience that’s a fan favorite across North America. Interactive online performances of Fruit Flies Like a Banana: Virtual Style put everyone in a front-row seat\, and all are invited to help create a show that leaps off the screen. \nFew musical ensembles earn top marks for their “deft choreography” (The Wall Street Journal)\, but this is no ordinary ensemble. Part chamber music group\, part theatre company\, part modern dance troupe\, part circus act\, The Fourth Wall blends music\, theatre\, dance\, and acrobatics into a new hybrid art form. This trio of musicians creates new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets classic repertoire to make music that leaps off the stage. \nThe Fourth Wall is a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to create programming that engages everyone from elementary school children to classical performance connoisseurs through a new hybrid of the performing arts in which musicians are also actors\, dancers\, and acrobats. In a theater\, breaking the fourth wall brings the world on stage directly into the audience; as an ensemble\, The Fourth Wall breaks the barrier between serious art and serious fun.

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:The Music of Dexter Gordon
DESCRIPTION:Tribute to jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon featuring Art Edmaiston (tenor sax)\, Patrick Fusco (piano)\, Neal Bowen (acoustic bass)\, and Jeff Burch (drums). \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 6:30 pm | performance at 7 pm\nLocation: Crosstown Arts East Atrium \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 Arthur Edmaiston:\nSaxophonist Arthur Edmaiston was raised in Northwest TN and came to Memphis to pursue a degree in Jazz Performance in 1990. The Bluff City has been his home since then. \nSoon after settling in\, Art found guidance in two teachers who would direct his career path and help develop his personal understanding of the saxophone. Allen Rippe\, Professor of Saxophone at the University of Memphis and the legendary musician and teacher Lannie McMillan mentored Edmaiston through the early ’90s\, providing chances to grow and offering support when needed. \n\nCountless hours of practice and late nights jamming with the finest musicians in Memphis and around the world has brought Edmaiston to where he is today — a Grammy-nominated seasoned professional of stage and studio. Over the years\, Art has played for thousands of tourists on world-famous Beale Street\, backing up Preston Shannon\, FreeWorld\, Ruby Wilson and more recently\, Susan Marshall and John Paul Keith. Edmaiston has recorded and toured internationally with such artists as Gregg Allman\, Al Green\, Bobby “Blue” Bland and the International Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater\, as well as performing on-stage with some of the biggest names in the entertainment world\, such as Stevie Wonder\, Dr. John\, Ray Parker Jr. and Justin Timberlake. \nAlways active in the studio\, there are several new recording projects featuring Art coming soon from the Joe Restivo 4\, the Love Light Orchestra\, Marc Edgar Stuart\, Marcella & Her Lovers\, and others. Arthur Edmaiston has established himself as a leader in music in Memphis and is grateful to be sharing his gift with all who will listen. \n\n\nAbout Strictly Jazz:\nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz.
