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

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents DAWN OF THE DEAD
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents 45 Years of Fear: an anniversary screening of Dawn of the Dead in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, May 30\, 2024\nTickets: $10 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) \nGeorge A. Romero / 1978 / 127 minutes / Rated R \nA sequel of sorts to Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead\, Dawn of the Dead tells the story of a group of survivors during a zombie outbreak who take refuge in a suburban shopping mall while mass hysteria wreaks havoc on their town. \nOnce an omnipresent staple of midnight movie programs\, George A. Romero’s gut-chomping\, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead has since all but disappeared from movie screens\, as well as every other viewing format available. The cult following is now so large that it is estimated that over 80% of Dawn of the Dead’s fans have never experienced this legendary epic on a real movie screen. We are thrilled to be able to bring the original uncut theatrical version back for the fans and back for the screams! \nThis special anniversary screening will be $10 per admission. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ENDLESS POETRY
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Endless Poetry in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, May 16\, 2024\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) \nAlejandro Jodorowsky / 2016 / 128 minutes / Rated R \nThrough renowned father of the midnight movies Alejandro Jodorowsky’s intensely personal lens\, Endless Poetry tells the story of his years spent as an aspiring poet in Chile in the 1940s. Against the wishes of his authoritarian father\, the 20 year old Jodorowsky leaves home to pursue his dream of becoming a poet\, and is introduced into the bohemian and artistic inner circle of Santiago where he meets Enrique Lihn\, Stella Diaz Varín\, Nicanor Parra\, all unknown at the time\, but who would later become driving forces of twentieth century Hispanic literature. Living with these inspirational artists\, Jodorowsky’s exploration of his inner feelings takes him on a journey of sensual experimentation leading him to realize his innermost desires and passions. \nContinuing the autobiographical story he began in The Dance of Reality\, Endless Poetry is an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth\, as a universal force capable of changing one’s life forever\, written by a man who has dedicated his existence to creating spiritual and artistic awareness\, told through Jodorowsky’s unique surreal and psychedelic visual language. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk: Kirk Whalum and Eric Darius
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum and special guest Eric Darius in Crosstown Theater. \nSunday\, March 10\, 2024\nCrosstown Theater\nBox office opens at 5 pm | Doors open at 5:30 pm\nShow begins at 6 pm\nTickets: General Admission $59 (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 saxophonist Eric Darius. \nERIC DARIUS\nWith his iconic\, signature jump and unrivaled crowd-captivating energy throughout his world-renowned live performances\, Billboard chart topping saxophonist\, songwriter\, and performer\, Eric Darius\, is breaking the mold of modern Jazz. His latest and boldest venture to date\, Unleashed\, is a testament to his ever-evolving artistic vision\, fearlessly pushing all musical boundaries while innovatively fusing Jazz with elements of R&B\, Hip-Hop\, Pop\, and more. \nNow\, with eight highly acclaimed albums to his name\, Eric continues to be a dynamic force on the music scene. To date\, he has racked up five No. 1 Hit Singles and 17 Top 10 Radio Hits on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart. He was SESAC’s Top 10 Jazz Artist of the Year in 2015\, Citril Starz Awards’ Best Jazz\, Saxophonist\, Composer\, Producer & Musician of the Year in 2017\, and most recently was selected the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival Artist of the Year for 2022.  \nFrom sharing the stage with GRAMMY® Award-winning artists such as Prince\, Mary J. Blige\, Jamie Foxx\, David Foster & George Benson to name a few\, making TV appearances on FOX’s The X Factor and TNT’s Mob City\, running his own SagiDarius Music label\, to serving as annual host of the San Diego Smooth Jazz Festival\, Mexico Jazz Experience\, & Paris Smooth Jazz Festival\, Eric’s impact on the music industry is undeniable. Determined and steadfast in making a difference through music education in the schools\, Eric Darius stands as a beacon of unparalleled talent and dedication in today’s world of entertainment. \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:MicroCinema: When The Apocalypse is Over (New Generations of Philippine Cinema)
DESCRIPTION:Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts present MicroCinema: When the Apocalypse is Over at Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nWednesday\, December 13\, 2023\nTickets: Free\nTime: 7-9 pm \n\nIndie Memphis and Crosstown Arts are excited to present When The Apocalypse is Over\, a block of aspect ratio-\, post-production-\, or VFX-heavy shorts from the latest generations of filmmakers in the Philippines. \nThrough heavy manipulation of the frame\, these films evoke longing — for different bodies\, for other ways of life\, for a non-dystopian world — and through that longing push cinematic language to new\, absurd\, and exciting places. The short films begin abstract and end explicitly political. Some of them engage with and subvert the stories of Philippine mythological creatures. For instance\, Dikit\, queers and twists the tradition of the manananggal\, a vampire-like creature that is able to separate its torso from its lower body\, through an innovative use of split screen. Together they cry out for someone\, something\, and somewhere different. \nContent Warning: This program includes depictions of violence and references to state and domestic violence and their long-lasting effects.
