SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts presents Strictly Jazz: The Music of Michael Brecker
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Strictly Jazz: The Music of Michael Brecker \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFebruary 15\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nMichael Brecker was a highly influential American jazz saxophonist and composer. He was known for his technical brilliance\, soulful playing\, and ability to seamlessly blend jazz and pop elements. Brecker’s contributions to both jazz and pop music have solidified his place as one of the most important musicians of his generation and one of\, if not the most important\, saxophonists post-John Coltrane that the world has ever known. \nPaying homage to Brecker for one night only is a group led by internationally recognized saxophonist Adam Larson\, who was first inspired to pursue a career in saxophone after hearing a Brecker solo while on the way to a travel basketball game. Says Larson: “I asked my dad what instrument was soloing\, and I could not believe that it was a saxophone! I remember telling my dad that I don’t know if I’d ever get to that level\, but I wanted to try”. Such was the impetus that jumpstarted the career of Larson\, who at age 35 has recorded on dozens of albums\, releasing ten under his own name. Frequently touring the country\, Larson is excited to return to the Green Room with a stellar band that includes Grammy-Award-winning bassist and frequent Larson collaborator Clark Sommers as well as local stalwarts pianist Alvie Givhan and drummer James Sexton. \nAsked about the musical selections for the February 15th outing\, Larson says he will pull from some of his favorite Brecker recordings with special consideration to Brecker’s album “The Nearness of You: The Ballad Book”\, timely for the Valentine’s Day holiday.

SUMMARY:“The Films of Stan Brakhage” with an original live score by Cloudland Canyon
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents “The Films of Stan Brakhage” with an original live score by Cloudland Canyon at the Crosstown Theater on Thursday\, March 6\, at 7:00 pm (doors at 6:30 pm).\n\n\n\nStan Brakhage\, a wildly prolific experimental filmmaker in American avant-garde cinema and one of cinema’s principle architects of cinematic modernism\, made nearly 400 films and eight books of film criticism and theory between 1952-2003. Dozens of his films\, including “Anticipation of the Night\,” “Mothlight\,” “Dog Star Man\,” and “Scenes from Under Childhood” are acknowledged masterworks. The techniques he pioneered\, most notably rapid editing\, handheld camera\, lens flares and physical manipulation of the filmstrip\, came to define experimental cinema\, but they were also absorbed by advertising\, music videos\, and Hollywood.\n\n \nChallenging all taboos in his exploration of birth\, sex\, death\, and the search for God\,” he turned his camera on explicit lovemaking\, childbirth\, even autopsy. Many of his most famous works pursue the nature of vision itself and transcend the act of filming. His films seek to change the way we see. They encourage viewers to abandon traditional structure in favor of pure visual perception that is not reliant on naming what is seen. His goal was to create a more visceral visual experience. He believed that “a stream of visual consciousness could be nothing less than the pathway of the soul.” His films are shot in highly sensual colors and utilize minimal soundtracks. \n \nCloudland Canyon is an experimental rock/psychedelic rock band formed in 2002 by Kip Uhlhorn and Simon Wojan. Cloudland Canyon has released several critically acclaimed albums including Fin Eaves\, Lie in Light\, and An Arabesque. Their recent releases have been produced by Sonic Boom from Spacemen3/Spectrum. With each release\, Uhlhorn has pushed the envelope of experimental pop music\, collaborating with various musicians and producers to create intricate and other wordly compositions. Cloudland Canyon is a must-listen for anyone interested in the possibilities of experimental music in the 21 century. New members joining Uhlhorn in the band include Corbin Linebarier of General Labor\, Graham Burks of Loose Opinions\, and Alex Greene of Alex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents  "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" (1992) 
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents  “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” (1992) at the Crosstown Theater on Thursday\, March 13\, at 7:00 pm (doors at 6:30 pm). \n \n In the town of Twin Peaks\, everyone has their secrets—but especially Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series\, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show\, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. Homecoming queen by day and drug-addicted thrill seeker by night\, Laura leads a double life that pulls her deeper and deeper into horror as she pieces together the identity of the assailant who has been terrorizing her for years. Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces\, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is nevertheless one of Lynch’s most humane films\, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine—a character as enthralling in life as she was in death. Directed by David Lynch. 135 minutes. Rated R.

SUMMARY:Nanocluster (Immersion | SUSS)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts\, The Green Room\n\n1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280\nMemphis\, TN 38104 United States\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrosstown Arts presents Nanocluster in The Green Room \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nTuesday\, March 18\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIn celebration of the release of Nanocluster Vol.3\, Immersion (Colin Newman & Malka Spigel) in collaboration with ambient country masters SUSS bring their Nanocluster series to North America. One performance comprising a set each from Immersion & SUSS followed by a collaborative set. \n\n\nNanocluster is the extension of Colin and Malka’s relationship\, friendships and commitment to art and ideas. They initially met when Colin produced Malka’s band in 1985. The collaboration started there. They then became a couple and created their own projects\, like the instrumental electronic duo Immersion\, in 1994. \n\nThe songs had been written and rehearsed prior to each performance. This adventure led to a debut album\, Nanocluster Vol 1\, released in 2021 with Stereolab singer/guitarist Laetitia Sadier\, German post-rock duo Tarwater\, electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss and experimental artist Robin Rimbaud (Scanner).  \nNanocluster Vol 2 further developed this idea with a stark beauty that sounds like a future pop with sleek lines and unexpected great melodies. Built around Thor Harris\, the charismatic percussion player from Swans and many other projects\, and Cubzoa (Jack Wolter from the band Penelope Isles).  \nKey to the process is Colin and Malka’s radio show for Slack City radio\, Swimming In Sound with its entertainingly diverse playlist that has widened their horizons. It’s also helped build relationships not only with these collaborators but also musicians like the ambient country masters SUSS\, with whom they have produced Nanocluster Vol.3 which will be released in mid February 2025 followed by extended Nanocluster tour in the USA.  \nMalka: “Nanocluster is collaboration but in a very specific form. We don’t have rules. It’s a series of creative snapshots.” \nColin: “It’s chemistry & music. Malka & I operate as a team and now we’ve taken it to another level.” \nNanocluster is a 21st century collusion of shared ideas\, creating a momentary extended musical family. It’s about musical and personal relationships and the meeting place in the middle. A temporary band of house guests. SUSS just moved\, in ideas merged and new soundscapes were forged. This is the place where Immersion happens.

DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents  “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”: 5oth Anniversary Screening (1975) at the Crosstown Theater on Thursday\, March 20\, at 7:00 pm (doors at 6:30 pm). \n  \n50th Anniversary screening: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tells the story of a free-spirited rogue who takes over the world of a mental hospital by a combination of chutzpah and ingenuity. The film is based on Ken Kensey’s best –selling novel published in 1962. Using the madhouse to symbolize the individual against the system\, the story gets its power from its unforgettable ensemble of characters and accretion of details that reveal what life is about inside a mental institution. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest swept the top five Oscars in 1976\, the first film to do so since It Happened One Night in 1934. Directed by Milos Foreman. 133 minutes. Rated R.

DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents  “Some Like it Hot” (1959) in collaboration with the Orpheum Theater Group at the Crosstown Theater on Thursday\, March 27\, at 7:00 pm (doors at 6:30 pm). \n  \nSome Like It Hot (1959)- Two down on their luck jazz musicians find themselves out of a job and on the run after the police raid the speakeasy they perform in and they inadvertently stumble upon a gang war. With no money and nowhere to hide\, a gig with Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators at a Florida beach resort seems like the perfect getaway. There’s just one problem: the Syncopators are an all-female band\, and Joe and Jerry aren’t women – yet. \nArmed with some dodgy wigs and wobbly falsettos\, Joe and Jerry manage to join the Syncopators\, where they meet Sugar Kane: a hooch-swilling\, ukulele-playing knockout with a soft spot for bad boy saxophone players. Barely able to believe their good fortune\, things start to go off the rails for the pair when they begin to attract unwanted attention from lecherous millionaires and some familiar faces show up at their hotel for a gathering of the country’s most dangerous criminals. Directed by Billy Wilder. 122 minutes. N/R- This is a collaborative screening with the Orpheum Theatre Group.

The family home was in Samois-sur-Seine\, the location of the Django Reinhardt Festival\, and the teenage Cyrille would climb out of her bedroom window at night to mingle with the players\, igniting a passion for jazz.\nMoving to New York City\, her talents quickly gained her a reputation among her peers as a matchless interpreter of song. She performed and recorded with Roy Hargrove and stole the show in front of the notoriously hard-to-please crowd at the Harlem Apollo. Steven Sondheim invited her to star in a tribute at New York’s City Centre\, backed by Wynton Marsalis. Her 2019 album Move On featured versions of Sondheim’s songs which received praise from Sondheim himself\, and her version of “Marry Me a Little”\, was nominated for a 2019 Grammy Award.\nAt the height of her New York success\, new horizons beckoned. Visiting New Orleans\, she fell in love with the energy and diversity of the city and made it her home. Linking back to New York to connect up all the dots\, she teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman\, and together they have created her latest album\, A Fleur de Peau. to be released on a new label\, the London-based imprint Whirlwind Recordings\nCombining the depth and sophistication of jazz\, the immediacy of pop\, the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean\, it’s more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.

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.\n\nKIM BURRELL\nHouston-based singer and pianist Kim Burrell\, known for her unique “jazz gospel” sound\, began her professional career singing with gospel greats like Rev. James Cleveland. Her solo recording career took off with releases on Tommy Boy Gospel\, and she’s since collaborated with artists ranging from R. Kelly and George Clinton to gospel stars like Shirley Caesar and Kirk Franklin\, and even secular icons like Stevie Wonder and Pharrell Williams (on the Hidden Figures soundtrack). A Grammy-nominated artist\, Kim continues to captivate audiences with her powerful voice and songwriting talent.
