SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum & Jazzmeia Horn (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum and special guest Jazzmeia Horn in Crosstown Theater. \nSunday\, April 23\, 2023\nCrosstown Theater\nBox office opens at 5PM | Doors open at 5:30PM\nShow begins at 6PM\nTickets: General Admission $45 (plus fees) \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJoin Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, an ongoing jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This iteration’s performance will feature jazz singer Jazzmeia Horn. \nJAZZMEIA HORN\nJazzmeia Horn is an American jazz singer and songwriter. She won the Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition in 2015. Horn’s repertoire includes jazz standards and covers of songs from other genres\, including by artists such as Stevie Wonder. She has been compared to jazz vocalists such as Betty Carter\, Sarah Vaughan\, and Nancy Wilson. \n“Horn is among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz\, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter\, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present.” — The New York Times \nKIRK WHALUM\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, Tennessee\, gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The ’80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene—especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first #1 album. As well\, Kirk and Bob received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. After moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in demand session player for top artists like\, Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones and most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date; others include his eclectic\, and much lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series\, (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar). \nKirk is the recipient of numerous awards and acknowledgements for his musical excellence including three Dove Award nominations\, an NAACP Image Award nomination and has won two Stellar Awards- Gospel music’s highest honor. A twelve time Grammy nominee\, Kirk won his first Grammy award (2011)for Best Gospel Song (“It’s What I Do”—featuring Lalah Hathaway) alongside life-long friend and gifted songwriter\, Jerry Peters.

SUMMARY:Little Richard: I Am Everything
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents Little Richard: I Am Everything at Crosstown Theater. \nLisa Cortés / 2023 / 98 minutes / Not Rated\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nLike a quasar burning past the gaslight\, director Lisa Cortés’ eye-opening documentary explodes the whitewashed canon of American pop music. Little Richard: I Am Everything shines a clarifying light on the Black\, queer origins of rock ’n’ roll\, and establishes the genre’s big bang: Richard Wayne Penniman. Testimonials from legendary musicians and cultural figures\, Black and queer scholars\, and interviews with the artist himself all exuberantly reclaim a history that was willfully appropriated by white artists and institutions. Cortés updates the canon with a treasure trove of rarely seen archival footage of Penniman. Among the gems are scenes with his Black and queer predecessors and contemporaries\, like Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, the mother of rock ’n’ roll who gave 14-year-old Penniman his first break. Cortés depicts Penniman’s complex journey as a conflicted revolutionary who careened between religion\, sex\, and rock ’n’ roll\, navigating the extreme tensions of race and sexuality of his time. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:The Bad Plus & Marc Ribot and the Jazz Bins
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents The Bad Plus & Marc Ribot and the Jazz Bins at Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, March 30\, 2023\nDoors open at 6:30 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $35-45 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThe Bad Plus \nReid Anderson (bass)\, Dave King (drums)\, Ben Monder (guitar)\, Chris Speed (saxophone) \nThe Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades they have played with spirit and adventure\, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization\, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance. \nNow in their 21st year\, The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) – instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that is re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus have constantly searched to bridge genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians working in perfect sync. \nThe Bad Plus is set to release their 15th studio recording and debut self-titled album as a dynamic new quartet via Edition Records on Friday\, September 30th. “Evolution is necessary for life and creativity\,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolved\, but we’re still The Bad Plus.” \nMarc Ribot & The Jazz Bins \nMarc Ribot (guitar)\, Greg Lewis (organ)\, Joe Dyson (drums) \nMarc Ribot’s four months with jazz organ legend Brother Jack McDuff were his first ever with an internationally touring artist. Their 1979 itinerary included Ribot’s first concerts in Europe\, and his only to date in Gary\, Indiana and Rochester\, NY. Although the two never recorded together (due to artistic differences that became apparent in Ribot’s later work…Brother Jack reportedly spent much of their stage time fixing Ribot with what side musicians referred to as his “death ray”)\, Ribot never lost his affection for McDuff’s music and the Hammond organ dominated Soul Jazz scene from which it emerged. Says Ribot: “McDuff’s US audiences—the so-called ‘Chitlin Circuit— were just the hippest in the world: sophisticated about the music\, definitely…but also demanding the deepest soul while rewarding restraint in its expression. What this brought out in the musicians was every bit as intense as the music taking shape at CBGBs at the time. In fact\, I always felt the two scenes had something in common\, and I’ve been trying to express exactly what ever since.” \nFellow Jazz-Bin\, Greg Lewis\, is not only one of the greatest virtuosos of the Hammond b3 organ alive\, but perhaps the only one willing and able to haul a real Hammond b3 and Leslie speaker cabinet to live gigs in NYC! Says Ribot: “Greg is NYC’s best kept secret. He can tell a story on the Hammond like nobody else.” Rounded out with a TBA guest drummer\, The Jazz-Bins use deep grooves and over the top improvisation to channel the spirits of Newark’s Key Club Sparky J’s Lounge\, and NYC’s CBGB’s c/a 1977 into a quest for punk/soul salvation. The Jazz-Bins go— not exactly ‘ancient’\, but ‘back’— to the future\, to tap into a scene that never really existed (but should have\, will\, and does whenever people drop their preconceptions about ‘genre’ long enough to feel the groove)\, and a vibe that never really stopped. Dig it! \nNew Orleans native Joe Dyson has certainly been one to watch. He started playing music in his family’s church at just two years old. After being noticed for his peculiar talent\, Joe was placed in the Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp where he was shadowed by the late\, great clarinetist Alvin Batiste\, and his longtime band leader and mentor\, alto saxophonist Donald Harrison. He went on to graduate from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA)\, and earned a Presidential Scholarship to his alma mater Berklee College of Music. \nJoe has shared the stage with Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Ellis Marsalis\, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah\, Jon Batiste\, Leo Nocentelli\, Sullivan Fortner\, Dirty Dozen Brass Band\, Pedrito Martinez\, Grammy Award winners Nicholas Payton and Pat Metheny among others.

SUMMARY:Makaya McCraven
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Makaya McCraven at Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nTuesday\, March 28\, 2023\nDoors open at 6:30 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $25 advance | $30 day of the show \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nMakaya McCraven is a prolific drummer\, compuser\, and producer. \nHis newest album\, In These Times\, is the triumphant finale of a project seven-plus years in the making. It’s a preeminent addition to his already-acclaimed and extensive discography\, and it’s the album he’s been trying to make since he started making records. \nMcCraven believes that the word “jazz” is “insufficient\, at best\, to describe the phenomenon we’re dealing with.” The artist\, who has been aptly called a “cultural synthesizer”\, has a unique gift for collapsing space\, destroying borders and blending past\, present\, and future into poly-textural arrangements of post-genre\, jazz-rooted 21st century folk music. Profiled in Vice\, Rolling Stone\, the Guardian\, and NPR\, among other publications\, he and the music he makes today are at the very vanguard of that phenomenon. According to the New York Times\, “McCraven has quietly become one of the best arguments for jazz’s vitality.” The artist explained to NPR in 2019\, “I don’t think what I’m doing is necessarily that far off of the legacy of jazz that I grew up in … I think one of the things that gives it strength is that people want to argue over it. That’s a good sign. That means there’s life here.” \nBorn in Paris in the Autumn of 1983 to Hungarian singer and flutist Ágnes Zsigmondi and African-American expat jazz drummer Stephen McCraven\, Makaya was raised in a vibrant\, creative community in the Northampton\, Massachusetts area\, where his father often played with artists like saxophonist and ethnomusicologist Marion Brown\, multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef\, and saxophonist Archie Shepp\, as well as a cadre of African Gnawa musicians. That scene\, with its enticing blend of cultures\, helped establish his philosophy around jazz as folk music. Meanwhile\, his mother’s music blended Eastern European folk traditions\, concurrently shaping his conceptions about the role of music in building and reflecting communities. \n“I’m really drawn to folk music. Music of aural tradition\, music that is of the people where it’s more of a collective experience of music and dance and culture that we all participate in and know as part of our being or as part of who we are.” He sees his work as a continuation of those traditions\, noting\, “I like to teach the music to musicians by ear\, and hope even when I bring in more challenging rhythms\, or difficult time signatures\, I am able to do it in a way that is of the body and of the people of the earth in a way that’s not necessarily some intellectual experiment\, but more something that’s dealing with people.” \nWhile immersed as a youth in global folk traditions\, he was also a child of the nineties\, deeply influenced by sample-based hip-hop. He observed that jazz was sometimes perceived by his peers as “something that was old\, corny\, white… going to get you beat up.” This directly countered his own experience with the music: “That was such a strange idea to me\, because the guys I grew up around were cool\, and [weren’t] buttoned up like that.” \nEventually he discovered bridges between jazz and hip-hop\, including classic jazz records being sampled by hip-hop producers such as Pete Rock\, and began to devote energy to “reappropriate this music to be what it is\, what it means to me\, and what it means for my people.” \nAfter cutting his teeth in the Western Massachusetts music scene\, co-founding a jazz-hip hop band called Cold Duck Complex that ultimately opened for The Pharcyde\, Digable Planets\, and the Wu-Tang Clan\, he and his partner (now wife\, comparative race studies scholar Nitasha Tamar Sharma) moved to Chicago in 2006. McCraven soon found himself immersed in both the creative and straight-ahead jazz scenes\, proving his versatility\, and along the way finding a community that mirrored the pulsating scene that birthed him artistically. Within five years’ time\, he’d established a name for himself\, gigging alongside scene stalwarts like Willie Pickens\, Marquis Hill and Jeff Parker. \nHe first connected with the founders of Chicago’s International Anthem label in late 2011\, and across 2012-2013 they hosted and recorded a series of improvised jazz nights featuring his combo at The Bedford\, a club situated in what was once an old basement bank vault. McCraven took 48 hours of recordings and sculpted beguiling hip-hop beats\, not unlike how Teo Macero looped and assembled Miles Davis’ On the Corner from improvised magic. At the time\, McCraven thought of the project\, which became the 2015 double LP release In The Moment\, as an opportunity to connect and to “find a young audience in this music. It just felt like the right time and a place where I could really connect with people.” That notion proved prophetic: JazzTimes called the album “one of the year’s most mesmerizing releases\,” the record was an “Album of the Week” pick by taste-making DJ Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music\, and it was chosen for “Best of 2015” lists by PopMatters\, NPR\, and the Los Angeles Times. \nMcCraven continued to hone his process of live improvisation and sampling with Highly Rare in 2017 (crafted from a live set recorded at Danny’s Tavern in Chicago)\, 2018’s Where We Come From(CHICAGOxLONDON Mixtape)\, which was built from recordings of a showcase at London’s Total Refreshment Centre\, and Universal Beings (also released in 2018). Universal Beings\, consisting of augmented live sessions in Chicago and New York\, in addition to pop-up studio sessions in London and Los Angeles\, concretely reflects his borderless multi-national ethos. The work featured varying configurations of international players\, including Nubya Garcia and Shabaka Hutchings from London\, Junius Paul and Tomeka Reid of Chicago\, Anna Butterss and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson from Los Angeles\, and Brandee Younger and Dezron Douglas from New York. \nThe title of the album was culled from a sampled passage on the track “Brighter Days Beginning\,” in which percussionist Carlos Niño offers\, “We’re universal beings\,” a theme of borderlessness that resonated deeply with McCraven\, who grew up in a multicultural household and community. “I’m not beholden to this border or this city\,” McCraven told Vice in 2018\, “What is a place? Other than the people. It’s just dirt\, you know?” The resulting album was called “radiant” and “hypnotic” by Pitchfork. \nIn 2019\, McCraven both delivered a triumphant Jazz Night in America performance at South Shore Cultural Center in Chicago\, and mounted a multimedia performance of an early iteration of what became his new album In These Times\, at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis. \nIn the meantime\, he remixed Gil Scott-Heron’s final album (2010’s I’m New Here) for 2020’s We’re New Again: A Reimagining by Makaya McCraven\, issued Universal Beings E+F Sides(also in 2020)\, and delved into the venerable Blue Note Records catalog in 2021 for Deciphering the Message\, each project also employing new improvisations and sampling\, helping to further cement his “beat scientist” moniker. Concurrently\, the seeds for 2022’sIn These Times were budding\, and their nurseries were stages around the globe. McCraven explains\, “As I’ve been touring\, I’ve been performing music off of the record In These Times… When In the Moment took off and I started touring a lot\, we would go on the road and 50% of the music was just my concept and my compositions.” \nIn These Times\, a collection of polytemporal compositions inspired as much by broader cultural struggles as McCraven’s personal experience as a product of a multinational\, working class musician community\, is the recording that McCraven has been trying to create for 7+ years\, as it’s been slowly cooking in the background while his other works were released. He began recording In These Times seven years ago\, but “for whatever reason\, Universal Beings just came to fruition much quicker. It just took more time for this to mature into everything it’s become. With the success of Universal Beings and the Universal Beings concerts that we did (with Red Bull) in Chicago at South Shore Cultural Center and le poisson rouge in New York\, I had an opportunity to realize the record not as a collection of four sides of trios and quartets\, but I turned that record as a performance into a 10 to 12-person concert\, and that experience ended up evolving my approach to In These Times.” \nIn These Times encompasses all he’s lived through\, as well as his lineage\, while also pushing the music forward. Music critic Passion of the Weiss suggested that “McCraven’s work\, both with younger players and the sounds of older recordings\, is part of a necessary conversation about the next evolution of the Black improvised music known colloquially as ‘jazz.’ He’s found the threads connecting the past with the present\, and is either wrapping them with new colors and textures\, or he’s plucking them gleefully like the strings of a grand instrument.” McCraven concurs: “To me\, that is the tradition that I want to try to take part in. Being well-rooted\, but walking into the future\, is really what all of the leaders in this music have done that I admire. And I think that resonates with people. Something that’s like how we know it\, but is evolving… It’s just where I am at\, where we’re at\, and the evolution of that\, and that’s what I’m trying to be.”

SUMMARY:(SOLD OUT) Iron & Wine: Back to Basics – Part Three With Anna Mieke
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Iron & Wine: Back to Basics — Part Three at Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, March 23\, 2023\nDoors at 6 pm | Show at 7 pm\nTicketing: $40-70 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIron & Wine is the musical project of singer-songwriter Sam Beam. Born and raised in South Carolina\, Beam was teaching film when his home recorded debut\, The Creek Drank the Cradle\, was released on Sub Pop records in 2002. Garnering both critical and popular acclaim\, Beam was vaulted into the spotlight of the burgeoning indie-folk and Americana scenes. Now entering its 20th year\, Iron & Wine have released seven full length recordings\, numerous EPs / singles\, and collaborations with Calexico\, Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses) and Jesca Hoop all on their way to becoming a four-time GRAMMY nominee. Iron & Wine’s music has captured the emotion and imagination of listeners with their distinctly cinematic songs; in particular they’ve become synonymous with the movies Twilight and Garden State and continue to find a home in your favorite film\, TV show or streaming playlist. As the world continues to spin — so do Iron & Wine continue on their path of releasing new music and touring. \nAnna Mieke’s world radiates with an intense heat that lies closer to the desert or the jungle than her hometown of Wicklow\, Ireland. On her second album Theatre\, she invites listeners into this warmth\, enveloping us in a vivid dreamscape that mirrors her lush and adventurous upbringing. Her music is the⁠ surreal soundtrack of a vast personal plain steeped in nostalgia\, family\, memory\, death and dreaming—where gritty reality and romanticism meet. This duality is the thematic core of Theatre\, which focuses on the conflict between permanence and temporality\, the immaterial and material\, and how memories of places and people fade\, warp\, and reinvent themselves over time.

SUMMARY:MicroCinema: A String of Pearls - The Films of Camille Billops and James Hatch
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Indie Memphis present MicroCinema: A String of Pearls – The Films of Camille Billops and James Hatch.  \nCrosstown Theater\nWednesday\, March 15\, 2023\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Screenings begin at 7:00 pm\nTickets: Pay-What-You-Can \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIndie Memphis and Crosstown Arts are proud to present three films from A String of Pearls: The Films of Camille Billops and James Hatch. Newly restored\, these three shorts\, Take Your Bags\, Older Women and Love\, and Suzanne\, Suzanne\, highlight the longtime creative partnership of artists\, writers\, and filmmakers Camille Billops and James Hatch. \nMany of the six films they made together pull from and explore Billops’ specific point of view\, her life\, and the lives of her family. These films are singular\, deeply creative\, and incisive in their examination of the stripping of culture and identity because of slavery (Take Your Bags)\, the experiences of love and dating later in life (Older Women and Love)\, and the deep ripple effects that abuse has on a relationship between mother and daughter (Suzanne\, Suzanne). \nWe’re grateful to Malkah Manouel and Third World Newsreel for making this MicroCinema possible!

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE at Crosstown Theater. \nLuis Buñuel / 1972 / 102 minutes / PG \nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nIn Luis Buñuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece\, an upper-middle-class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually delayed\, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined\, including terrorist attacks\, military maneuvers\, and ghostly apparitions. Stringing together a discontinuous\, digressive series of absurdist set pieces\, Buñuel and his screenwriting partner Jean-Claude Carrière send a cast of European-film greats — including Fernando Rey\, Stéphane Audran\, Delphine Seyrig\, Jean-Pierre Cassel\, and Bulle Ogier — through a maze of desire deferred\, frustrated\, and interrupted. The Oscar-winning pinnacle of Buñuel’s late-career ascent as a feted maestro of the international art house\, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is also one of his most gleefully radical assaults on the values of the ruling class. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller\, a sublime score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA\, and a host of colorful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva)\, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Juilliard String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Concerts International and The Memphis Chamber Music Society present the Juilliard String Quartet at Crosstown Theater in collaboration with Crosstown Arts. \nCrosstown Theater\nSunday\, February 12\, 2023\nShow at 3 pm\nTickets: $55 General Admission | $10 student tickets \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nProgram:\nBeethoven\, String Quartet No. 16 in F\, Op. 135\nRavel\, Quartet in F Major\nDvořák\, String Quartet No. 14 in A-flat Major\, Op. 105 \n“The Juilliard String Quartet can plausibly be called the most important American quartet in history. … Some groups seem to wrestle with their past and legacy; the Juilliard seems completely revitalized. … It may be just hitting its stride.” — The Boston Globe  \nWith unparalleled artistry and enduring vigor\, the Juilliard String Quartet (JSQ) continues to inspire audiences around the world. Founded in 1946 and hailed by The Boston Globe as “the most important American quartet in history\,” the ensemble draws on a deep and vital engagement to the classics\, while embracing the mission of championing new works\, a vibrant combination of the familiar and the daring. Each performance of the Juilliard String Quartet is a unique experience\, bringing together the four members’ profound understanding\, total commitment\, and unceasing curiosity in sharing the wonders of the string quartet literature. \nMolly Carr joins the JSQ as violist in May 2022 — following in the footsteps of her late mentor\, Roger Tapping — to close out the 2021-22 season\, which marks the Juilliard String Quartet’s 75th anniversary. Performances of the season include cities such as New York\, San Francisco\, and Detroit as well as a European tour including stops in Berlin\, Dresden\, and Essen. A special highlight of the upcoming 2022-23 season is the premiere of two string quartets by celebrated German composer Jörg Widmann to perform alongside late quartets by Beethoven. \nAdding to its celebrated discography\, an album of works by Beethoven\, Bartók\, and Dvořák was released by Sony Classical in April 2021 to critical acclaim. Additionally\, Sony Masterworks released a JSQ catalog release (The Early Juilliard Recordings) in June 2021. In the fall of 2018\, the JSQ released an album on Sony featuring the world premiere recording of Mario Davidovsky’s Fragments (2016)\, together with Beethoven’s Quartet Op. 95 and Bartók’s Quartet No. 1. Additionally\, Sony Classical’s 2014 reissue of the Juilliard Quartet’s landmark recordings of the first four Elliott Carter String Quartets along with the 2013 recording of Carter’s fifth quartet traces a remarkable period in the evolution of both the composer and the ensemble. The quartet’s recordings of the Bartók and Schoenberg Quartets\, as well as those of Debussy\, Ravel and Beethoven\, have won Grammy Awards\, and in 2011 the JSQ became the first classical music ensemble to receive a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. \nDevoted master teachers\, the members of the Juilliard String Quartet offer classes and open rehearsals when on tour. The JSQ is string quartet in residence at The Juilliard School and its members are all sought-after teachers on the string and chamber music faculties.

Ayoka Chenzira’s feature film explores the life of teenager Rainbow Gold (Victoria Gabrielle Platt) who is entering womanhood and navigating conversations and experiences around standards of beauty\, self-image\, and the rights of Black women have over their bodies. Rainbow attends a strict parochial school\, studies dance\, and is just becoming aware of boys. She lives with her strait-laced mother Alma Gold ( Kim Weston-Moran)\, who runs a hair salon in the parlor of their home.  When Alma’s free-spirited sister Ruby (Mizan Kirby) arrives from Paris after a 10-year absence\, the sisters clash over what constitutes the “proper” direction Rainbow’s life should take. Alma has fooled herself into believing she has no need of male companionship and advises her to daughter to follow her example. Ruby encourages both her niece and her sister to embrace life — and love — fully and joyfully. Almas’s Rainbow highlights a multi-layered Black women’s world where characters live\, love\, and wrestle with what it means to exercise and exert their agency. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ’ROUND MIDNIGHT
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ’ROUND MIDNIGHT at Crosstown Theater. \nBertrand Tavernier / 1986 / 133 minutes / Rated R\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \n’ROUND MIDNIGHT is a love letter from director Bertrand Tavernier to the heyday of bebop and the Black American musicians who found refuge in the smoky underground jazz clubs of 1950s Paris. In a sui generis\, Oscar-nominated fusion of performer and character\, legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon plays Dale Turner\, a brilliant New York jazz veteran whose music aches with beauty but whose personal life is ravaged by addiction. Searching for a fresh start in Paris\, Turner strikes up an unlikely friendship with a struggling single father and ardent jazz fan (François Cluzet) who finds his life transformed as he attempts to help the self-destructive musician. Herbie Hancock’s evocative\, Oscar-winning score sets the mood for this definitive jazz film\, a bittersweet opus that glows with lived-in\, soulful authenticity.  \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.
