SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN at Crosstown Theater. \nChia-Chun Wu / 1975 / 86 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 \nAlong with THE DRAGON LIVES AGAIN\, BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN is easily one of the most synapse-frying entries in the magical sub-genre known as Bruceploitation. Triad gangsters call Superman out of retirement to kidnap a scientist who solved the global food shortage crisis. Superman agrees to the deal in exchange for “money\, plenty of girls\, and booze.” The authorities enlist Kato (Bruce Li)\, the Green Hornet’s partner\, to help. Kato hires his friend Carter (also Bruce Lee)\, who looks\, dresses\, acts\, and wields nunchucks just like Bruce Lee. The result is total madness. A fascinating time capsule from the golden era of gonzo exploitation filmmaking\, BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN has been preserved from the only known 35mm print in existence!  \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Adam W. Sadberry: “Musical Journalism”
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7PM | Performance begins at 7:30PM \nTickets: $15 advance | $20 at the door ($5 student tickets available) \nPurchase tickets here \nThis is a concert inspired by Adam W. Sadberry’s late grandfather and unsung hero of the Civil Rights Movement\, L. Alex Wilson. Wilson’s work as an editor and journalist changed the world through covering pivotal Civil Rights events including the lynching of Emmett Till\, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the desegregation of Central High School by the Little Rock 9\, the last of which played a part in Wilson’s transformation into a martyr. In this concert\, Adam intertwines articles that he collected from the archives of the Tri-State Defender\, Wilson’s newspaper in Memphis\, Tennessee\, with music that contextualizes the humanity and inhumanity of the stories. \nAdam will be joined on stage by pianist Dr. Artina McCain and clarinetist Dr. Andre Dyachenko. \nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:Film Screening by Resident Artists R Jason Rawlings and Angelo Madsen Minax
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents NATIVES and NORTH BY CURRENT at Crosstown Theater. \nFree and open to the public\nDoors at 6:00 p.m.\, and films begin at 6:30 p.m. in Crosstown Theater. \nTwo films will be screened\, with a brief Q&A with the artists after the screening. \nIn Natives\, a short film by fall session artist in residence R Jason Rawlings\, two years after Hurricane Katrina\, a claims adjuster returns home to The Delta to little fanfare.   \nIn fall session artist in residence Angelo Madsen Minax’s feature-length film North by Current\, after the inconclusive death of his young niece\, the filmmaker returns to his rural Michigan hometown\, preparing to make a film about a broken criminal justice system. Instead\, he pivots to excavate the depths of generational addiction\, Christian fervor\, and trans embodiment. Lyrically assembled images\, decades of home movies\, and ethereal narration form an idiosyncratic and poetic undertow that guide a viewer through lifetimes and relationships. Like the relentless Michigan seasons\, the meaning of family shifts\, as Madsen\, his sister\, and his parents strive tirelessly to accept each other. Poised to incite more internal searching than provide clear statements or easy answers\, North by Current is a visual rumination on the understated relationships between mothers and children\, truths and myths\, losses and gains.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk featuring Kirk Whalum and Dave Koz
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 16\, 2022 at Crosstown Theater \n\n\n\n\n\nBox office opens at 5PM | Doors open at 5:30PM \nShow begins at 6PM \nTickets: General Admission $45 (plus fees) \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDAVE KOZ \nIn a recording career that spans nearly three decades\, saxophonist Dave Koz has racked up an astoundingly impressive array of honors and achievements: nine GRAMMY® nominations\, 11 No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart\, numerous world tours\, 13 sold-out Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruises\, performances for multiple U.S. presidents\, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and appearances on a multitude of television shows\, including “Good Morning America\,” “The View\,” “The Tonight Show\,” “Entertainment Tonight” and more. A Platinum-selling artist\, Koz is also known as a humanitarian\, entrepreneur\, radio host and instrumental music advocate. \nKIRK WHALUM \nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, (TN) gospel roots and his 1980‘s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The 80’s 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:CANCELLED: William Basinski
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: We are sorry to announce that William Basinski at Crosstown Arts has been cancelled. Unfortunately\, through no fault of his\, William’s flight was cancelled and he is stuck in a city too far from Memphis to make the drive in time for the performance. William and his production crew tried to find alternatives\, but all possibilities were exhausted. We know you were looking forward to this performance at least as much as we were\, and we apologize for the disappointment and for any inconvenience. \nRefunds will be issued for the entire purchase—that includes the ticket price and Eventbrite’s fees. \nWilliam Basinski is a classically trained musician and composer who has been working in experimental media for over 30 years in NYC and\, most recently\, California. Employing obsolete technology and analogue tape loops\, his haunting and melancholy soundscapes explore the temporal nature of life and resound with the reverberations of memory and the mystery of time. \nHis epic 4-disc masterwork\, The Disintegration Loops received international critical acclaim and was chosen as one of the top 50 albums of 2004 by Pitchfork Media. The Temporary Residence deluxe LP box-set reissue from 2012 was awarded best re-issue of the year and a score of 10 on Pitchfork. Installations and films made in collaboration with artist-filmmaker\, James Elaine have been presented in festivals and museums internationally\, and his concerts are presented to sold out crowds around the world. \nBasinski was chosen by Music Director\, Antony Hegarty to create music for the Robert Wilson opera\, The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic which had its world premiere at the Manchester International Festival in July 2011 and toured Europe in 2012 and North America in 2013. Orchestral transcriptions of The Disintegration Loops by Maxim Moston have been performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Queen Elizabeth Hall and La Batie Festival in Geneva\, Switzerland\, Dark Mofo Festival in Hobart Tasmania and most recently Pitchfork Midwinter Festival with the Chicago Philharmonic. \nBasinski is currently touring the world in support of his latest work\, “On Time Out of Time” which was released on March 8th\, 2019 on Temporary Residence/2062/USA.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents SPIDER BABY
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents SPIDER BABY at Crosstown Theater. \nJack Hill / 1967 / 81 minutes / N/R\nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nThe first solo feature from exploitation legend Jack Hill (Foxy Brown)\, Spider Baby remains one of the wildest and weirdest horror films of the 1960s. The credits dub this “the maddest story ever told\,” a promise that’s well on the way to being fulfilled in the opening scene alone\, when Virginia traps and kills a hapless deliveryman in her makeshift web. She’s one of three siblings\, including Sid Haig\, who suffer from a unique genetic disorder that causes them to regress back to childhood while retaining the physical strength and sexual maturity of adults. Lon Chaney Jr. (The Wolf Man) gives one of his most memorable late performances as Bruno\, who manages to cover up the crimes of the “kids” until two distant relatives lay claim to their house. Blending elements of gothic horror and gallows humor\, Spider Baby drops somewhere between The Addams Family and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.

DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents multi-string quartet INVOKE at Crosstown Theater. \n\n\n\n\n\nCrosstown Theater\nFriday\, September 16\, 2022\nDoors 7pm | Concert 7:30pm \nTickets: $20 advance | $25 day of the show ($10 student tickets)\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDescribed as “not classical…but not not classical” (David Srebnik\, SiriusXM Classical Producer)\, Invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The multi-instrumental band’s other ‘not-nots’ encompass traditions from across America\, including bluegrass\, Appalachian fiddle tunes\, jazz\, and minimalism. Invoke weaves all of these styles together to create truly individual music written by and for the group. \nThe band has recently garnered major prizes at international competitions including winning First Prize at the M-Prize International Chamber Arts competition in Ann Arbor\, MI\, the First Prize in the Coltman Competition in Austin\, TX\, and the “New Music/New Places” prize at Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition in New York. The group’s 20-21 season will take them across North America performing concert engagements and participating in major educational residencies. Highlights include performances at Lincoln Center\, Norton Center for the Arts\, Newberry Opera House and Green Music Center. \nInvoke has shared the stage with some of the most acclaimed ensembles in the country\, ranging from the Ensō Quartet to the U.S. Army Field Band\, and has also appeared with musicians in greatly varying genres – from chamber rock powerhouse San Fermin to DC beatboxer/rapper/spoons virtuoso Christylez Bacon. \nInvoke’s debut release Souls in the Mud\, and their follow-up Furious Creek\, both feature original works composed by and for the group\, plus the quartet has also performed and recorded numerous world premieres. Invoke believes in championing diverse American voices\, including their ongoing commissioning project American Postcards\, which asks composers to pick a time and place in American history and tell their story through Invoke’s unique artistry. \nInvoke is currently based in Austin\, Texas. \nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:The Peace Chronicles\, Part 2 (ICEBERG + Blueshift + Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz)
DESCRIPTION:ICEBERG New Music\, Blueshift Ensemble\, and acclaimed poet Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz present “The Peace Chronicles (Part 2)” at Crosstown Theater. \n\n\n\n\n\nCrosstown Theater\nFriday\, August 19\, 2022\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nTickets: pay-what-you-can\nPURCHASE TICKETS / RSVP HERE \nICEBERG New Music\, Blueshift Ensemble\, and acclaimed poet Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz present “The Peace Chronicles (Part 2)\,” an evening of music and spoken word focused on finding peace in a violent and chaotic world. Blueshift Ensemble will perform works by Alex Burtzos\, Derek Cooper\, Jack Frerer\, Jessica Mays\, Max Grafe\, as well as new music by Becky Turro. 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.
