SUMMARY:The Knights of Jazz at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a special performance by The Knights of Jazz with Paul McKinney. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nPaul McKinney’s smooth jazz approach hints at legends like Miles Davis\, George Duke\, and Kirk Whalum. \n“Paul’s Memphis\, Tennessee\, roots lend a spiritual blues-iness that quickly draws you in. You will feel something when Brother Paul plays that trumpet. You don’t have to waste time analyzing it technically\, harmonically\, arrangements\, production\, blablablah. It’s all good\, trust me. But do yourself a favor and close your eyes and listen to Brother Paul play that horn. There’s a message in it\,” — Kirk Whalum \nPaul’s first solo project single\, “Cecelia\,” is receiving rave reviews from across the country\, and upon hearing the track\, Henry Nelson (Executive Director/Carpenter Arts Garden) had this to say: “I got goose pimples when this piece started the first time and grew teary when the trumpet kicked in. I had Miles Davis memories and felt joyful at the introduction of the sax as the snare and bass tickled. It is a perfect mix!” \n“The fruit don’t fall too far from the tree. This fruit’s tree is someone I worked with\, learned so much from in my developing years\, a piano playing genius\, his father Kurl McKinney. So yeah\, you’re getting the benefit and taste of some of Memphis greatest fruit in your ear hole in Paul McKinney\,” — David Porter\, National Songwriters Hall of Fame \nThe Knights of Jazz are a collection of some of Memphis’ finest and most versatile musicians. Their concept involves creating music that is fun and entertaining\, yet has value and spirituality underneath it.

SUMMARY:L.A.P.D. at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for a performance by Memphis-based jazz group\, L.A.P.D. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nComprised of four hard-working musicians from Memphis\, L.A.P.D. respects the city’s rich musical heritage while forging new ground\, all in the name of the groove. \nL.A.P.D. is Logan Hanna on guitar\, Arthur Edmaiston on saxophone\, Patrick Fusco on organ\, and Danny Banks on drums and cymbals. \nThe deep swing and tough grooves played by this band of professionals was honed through years of logging late nights in clubs and on tours around the globe. So much attention has been given to the study of the music recorded in the 1960s (sometimes referred to as “soul jazz”) that listeners will wonder if they have been transported back in time. \nL.A.P.D. presents music that harkens back to an era when there was always a Hammond organ in the nightclub and everyone came to have a good time. The beautifully complex instrumental tones and their authentic rhythmic feel for the organ-fueled soul jazz music of yesteryear will make you want to shout! \nThe eclectic repertoire consists of titles spanning several generations of music with all of it delivered in the classic organ quartet style made famous by Jack McDuff\, Lonnie Smith\, Lou Donaldson\, and Big John Patton. \nWhat sets L.A.P.D. apart is the arranging and composing skills of Patrick and Logan. Several original compositions are present in the band’s book as well as sly arrangements of familiar classic and modern rock radio staples. If you have ever wondered what the melodies of Jimi Hendrix and Soundgarden might sound like filtered through a greasy saxophone\, then L.A.P.D. has that and more in store for you.

SUMMARY:Mighty Souls Brass Band at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for special performance by Mighty Souls Brass Band. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7pm | Performance 7:30pm \nMighty Souls Brass Band\, a Memphis‐based rotating collective of composer‐players versed in a multitude of musical traditions\, isn’t a soul band\, nor is it a funk band\, a marching band\, or a swing band. And yet\, depending on where you catch them live\, you’ll hear all of those influences and more from around the globe. \nFor proof\, check the band’s debut album — Lift Up!\, on Blue Barrel Records — largely recorded live\, to catch the infectious synergy of the group. You’ll hear all of these influences\, but you’ll also hear the writing and arrangement talents of MSBB’s members\, who themselves composed ten of the album’s dozen tracks. This vigorously creative impulse to weave something new from the threads of various traditions is what makes Mighty Souls Brass Band a unique act even among brass ensembles. This is a band that knows where its roots lie\, but also where its branches are reaching\, far out into the world\, a world that seems invariably to express its deepest spiritual desires and celebrations through music. \nMighty Souls Brass Band is a group attuned to that desire\, that celebratory spirit. It’s a music that swings\, that soars\, that swoons — all of which is suggested by that profound\, that humble\, that most human of words: “Soul.”

SUMMARY:Folk All Y'all: An Evening with Violet Bell
DESCRIPTION:Folk All Y’all presents An Evening with Violet Bell\, a North Carolina progressive folk duo\, at The Green Room. \nTickets: $20 \nEach half of Violet Bell has dedicated their life to the pursuit of music: Lizzy Ross as a songwriter who briefly tried her hand in Nashville before returning to more receptive soil in North Carolina; Omar Ruiz-Lopez as a music educator and sideman who plays a staggering array of instruments (violin\, viola\, cello\, guitar\, mandolin\, banjo). Ross thinks melodically and lyrically\, while Ruiz-Lopez thinks in tones\, textures and colors. Combined\, their work is vibrant\, full of ebbing and flowing emotion; full of passion\, fear\, hope\, angst\, frustration\, humor — all the messy emotions comprising the worthwhile chaos of the human experience. Stylistically\, the songs take familiar Americana textures and bend them in surprising directions. Violet Bell is what happens when two musicians at the top of their craft bring their distinctive skills and perspectives to a shared space and life. \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:Listening Sessions at the Green Room: McLemore Avenue by Booker T. & The MGs (1970)
DESCRIPTION:For their penultimate album on Stax Records\, Booker T. & the MGs stretched the boundaries of the Memphis Sound\, tackling the Beatles’ masterpiece LP\, Abbey Road. Using the newfound artistic freedom granted since Stax had split with Atlantic Records\, this is the band’s most complex and adventurous recording\, perfectly timed for the rise of FM radio and music that need not fit on one side of a 45. \nThe group also debuted a new look for Joel Brodsky’s iconic album cover\, trading in their matching mohair suits and manicured coiffes for bell-bottoms\, fringe jackets\, and scruffy beards. \nJoining series host Dr. Charles Hughes (Rhodes College) will be members of the MDs\, a Memphis-based Booker T. & the MGs tribute band that performed the entire McLemore Avenue album at the Stax Museum in 2017.  This October\, the band rearranged another Beatles classic\, Revolver\, for a capacity Crosstown Arts crowd. \nFree and open to the public

SUMMARY:Greg Ward's Rogue Parade at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a special performance by Greg Ward’s Rogue Parade. \nConsidered one of the most versatile saxophonists of his generation\, bandleader\, composer\, and arranger Greg Ward is proud to launch his new group\, Rogue Parade. A quintet of heavyweight creative Chicago musicians\, Rogue Parade features guitarists Matt Gold and Dave Miller\, bassist Matt Ulery\, and drummer Quin Kirchner. \nHaving earned wide acclaim as a sideman with artists like Prefuse 73\, Lupe Fiasco\, Tortoise\, William Parker\, Andrew D’Angelo\, and Mike Reed\, Greg Ward is now excited to introduce his wide-spanning audience to his new\, innovative group\, Rogue Parade\, a unique two-guitar instrumentation that blends the sonic worlds of acoustic and electronic. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7 pm | Performance 7:30 pm \n— \n“His results may be not ‘jazz’ in the usual sense\, but they do make for a creative blending of genres and styles that results in fresh and intriguing music.” — JEROME WILSON of ALL ABOUT JAZZ \n“This album welcomes everyone to hear their own impressions of the music… All the excellence of modern jazz without a hint of the grandiosity. You can make your imagination at home here.” — MICHELLE MERCER of NPR \n“Ward’s breath-softened\, woody tone sustains a bedrock of naturalness even as he breaks into unfettered flights\, tempered on occasion by a pristine\, neo-classical precision — a blend of fearlessness\, merriment\, pathos\, and perhaps a measure or two of irony.” — DAVID WHITEIS of JAZZTIMES

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: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

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.

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: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:John Raymond & Real Feels at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by up-and-coming jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player John Raymond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: $10\nDoors 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n\n\nWith a singular voice on the trumpet and flugelhorn\, John Raymond is making his mark as one of the most promising\, up-and-coming jazz musicians in the world. Recently dubbed as a Rising Star by Downbeat Magazine\, John has performed with some of most well-respected names in jazz\, including Orrin Evans\, Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Billy Hart\, and Linda Oh among others. He has released five albums under his own name since 2012\, all of which are receiving critical acclaim from the New York Times\, Stereogum\, Downbeat\, JazzTimes\, and more. John has also established himself as a sought-after educator\, both as the Professor of Jazz Trumpet at Indiana University and as a guest clinician and soloist at schools around the world. \nRaymond’s Real Feels is a bass-less trio that includes Gilad Hekselman (guitar) and Colin Stranahan (drums)\, and the leader on flugelhorn. Together\, they incorporate indie-rock\, folk\, and electronic influences to both riveting original music and fresh takes on recognizable songs by artists such as Bob Dylan\, Thom Yorke\, Bon Iver\, Paul Simon and more. Regardless of material\, the band’s improvisational\, free-wheeling\, “keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat” approach to the music makes each experience with Real Feels a new and captivating experience. It’s no surprise that they are one of the hottest\, up-and-coming groups in jazz today. \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n

SUMMARY:Those Pretty Wrongs at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for Those Pretty Wrongs\, a musical partnership between Jody Stephens (of Big Star) and Luther Russell. Also featuring members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra —  Jessie Munson\, Yennifer Correia\, Beth Luscombe\, and Jonathan Kirkscey. \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nThose Pretty Wrongs are Jody Stephens and Luther Russell. It’s a musical partnership borne of a deep and lasting friendship\, the roots of which stretch back to the early ’90s\, when the two were introduced. As the story goes\, nary a note of music was made between them until about five years ago\, when they were united in the cause of a documentary about Jody’s alma mater\, the legendary Memphis group Big Star. After releasing their self-titled debut on Ardent/Burger in 2016 to a healthy dose of acclaim\, they went out on the road\, playing for audiences across North America\, Australia\, Europe\, and the U.K. \nDuring the course of these runs\, they began to forge the sound for their second offering\, Zed for Zulu\, due out September 6\, 2019 on Burger Records\, a meditation on communication or lack thereof\, the ever-present past or the question of the future\, inevitable death\, or imminent re-birth. The music is colorful but muted\, something complex woven in a simple way. It’s a symphony of chords and melodies\, yet played in an understated fashion\, without too much fuss. Those Pretty Wrongs don’t have time to fuss\, as Luther dwells in Los Angeles and Jody resides in Memphis. And they like it that way.

SUMMARY:Kevin Morby – Duo Tour w/ Support from William Tyler
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance by singer-songwriter Kevin Morby in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. Opening for Kevin is William Tyler (Lambchop/Silver Jews). \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 7:30pm | Show at 8pm \nAbout Kevin Morby:\nKevin Morby released his beloved solo debut Harlem River in 2013 and has released a full-length nearly every year since. His latest\, 2017’s City Music\, is a collection Kevin says “is a mix-tape\, a fever dream\, a love letter dedicated to those cities that I cannot get rid of\, to those cities that are all inside of me.” \nAbout William Tyler:\n“William Tyler knows the South — as a crucible of American histories and cultures\, an entity capable of expansive beauty and incomprehensible violence\, often in the same beat — as his native place\, the place that holds him and that he runs from. In the music of William Tyler\, the South is not apart from America; the South is America condensed. \n“William’s latest album\, Goes West\, marks a sort of narrowing of focus for his music; it sounds as though he found a way to point himself directly towards the rich and bittersweet emotional center of his music without being distracted by side trips. Perhaps this is down to the fact that William only plays acoustic guitar on the album\, a clear and conscious decision considering that he is one of Nashville’s great electric guitarists. The band that performs Goes West alongside William—including guitarists Meg Duffy and Bill Frisell\, bassist and producer Brad Cook\, keyboardist James Wallace\, drummer Griffin Goldsmith\, and engineer Tucker Martine—is the best and most sympathetic group of players that William could have assembled to play these songs.” — M.C. Taylor \n
