SUMMARY:Bernell Jones II Returns Home
DESCRIPTION:Bernell Jones II Returns Home\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts \nFriday\, May 8th\, 2026 \nDoors open at 7:00 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM \n$20 in advance (plus fees) | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBernell Jones II\, a Memphis native\, returns home for one day after building an astounding career as a musician in New York City! In his time between performing with the likes of Lauryn Hill\, Julius Rodriguez\, Olivia Dean and others\, he has made a name for himself leading an explosive band that plays all his original music. Get ready to hear music you’ve never heard before containing elements of modern electronic jazz mixed with elements of the soul and R&B music Bernell grew up with! \nOriginally from Memphis\, TN\, Bernell Jones II is a saxophonist and songwriter based in NYC. He is known not only for his playing\, but also for disrupting the content creation industry in the music sector with his consistent stream of viral music-comedy videos on Instagram and TikTok. \nBernell picked up the saxophone at age ten after primarily playing piano for four years. This was a huge turning point in his life. Although he doesn’t consider himself a professional pianist\, it aided him in enhancing his compositional skills and his understanding of music. \nHis discography showcases a variety of musical influences from his upbringing such as gospel\, jazz\, blues\, R&B\, etc. Bernell has worked alongside artists such as Ms. Lauryn Hill \, Olivia Dean\, Wyclef Jean\, Philip Harper\, Julius Rodriguez\, and more. He credits his style of writing to the influences his parents played around the house growing up such as Earth\, Wind & Fire\, Michael Jackson\, Maxwell\, and Janet Jackson\, along with jazz influences such as Roy Hargrove\, Miles Davis\, and Herbie Hancock. \nOn his ambitious genre-defying debut album ‘TYPEWRITER\,’ released July 2\, 2024\, Bernell pulled together all of his influences while keeping a consistent signature sound across the project\, even while the songs may vary genre to genre. \nHis most recent release “Love Sings” showcases Bernell’s songwriting abilities through the vocals of Barry Antoine\, and his abilities to band the right talent together by adding New York rapper Nory to the mix.

SUMMARY:Memphis Jazz Orchestra featuring Michael Dease
DESCRIPTION:Memphis Jazz Orchestra featuring Michael Dease\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, April 25th\, 2026\nDoors open at 7:00 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM\n$25 in advance | $30 at the door\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\nJoin the Memphis Jazz Orchestra for a special one-night only performance at the Green Room at Crosstown Arts featuring one of the preeminent trombonists of the current era\, Michael Dease! \nMichael Dease is one of the world’s eminent trombonists\, lending his versatile sound and signature improvisations to over 200 recordings and groups as diverse as Grammy-winning artists David Sanborn\, Christian McBride\, Kanye West\, Michel Camilo\, and Alicia Keys. Born in Augusta\, Georgia\, he played the saxophone and trumpet before choosing the trombone at age 17. In 2001\, Dease moved to New York City to become part of the historic first class of jazz students at The Juilliard School\, earning both Bachelors and Masters degrees\, and quickly established a reputation as a brilliant soloist\, side-person\, and bandleader. \nGive It All You Got (Posi-Tone\, 2021) received positive acclaim from JazzTimes Magazine and a coveted 4-star review from Downbeat Magazine. The music centers on themes of devotion to the past and future of the jazz lineage\, realized at the Jazz Institute at Brevard where he serves as director. As a bandleader\, this is Dease’s eighth album for Posi-Tone\, fourteenth of his career\, and features Gregory Tardy\, Ulysses Owens\, as well as his wife Gwen Dease and eldest daughter Brooklyn Dease on percussion. Since then\, he has released Best Next Thing (Posi-Tone\, 2022)\, his baritone saxophone recording debut on Swing Low (Posi-Tone\, 2023)\, two albums featuring music from composer Gregg Hill\, The Other Shoe (Origin\, 2023) and Found in Space (Origin\, 2024)\, plus Groves Groove (Le Coq Records\, 2024)\, and City Life (Origin\, 2025). \nDownbeat Magazine named Dease the 2016 Rising Star Jazz Trombonist. He then won the magazine’s Critics Poll for 2021 Trombonist of the Year\, an award granted in subsequent years as well. He is a three-time Grammy award winner with Christian McBride and Alicia Keys and a sought-after lead\, section\, and bass trombonist with today’s leading jazz orchestras. His experiences include bands led by Christian McBride\, Roy Hargrove\, Nicholas Payton\, Charles Tolliver\, Rufus Reid\, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. However\, it is on the frontline of small groups led by master musicians like The Heath Brothers\, Winard Harper\, Renee Rosnes\, Bill Charlap\, Claudio Roditi\, and Lewis Nash\, where Dease has revitalized the trombone’s image. Not content to simply improvise\, Dease arranges and composes for many different bands\, constantly adjusting his tone and timbre to add just the right flavor to the music. \nMichael Dease is an enthusiastic endorser and Performing Artist for Yamaha Trombones\, Trumpets and Saxophones\, Pickett-Blackburn brass mouthpieces\, and the custom repair services of expert craftsman Scott Sweeney of Sweeney Brass in Raleigh\, North Carolina. Most importantly\, he enjoys spending time with his extraordinary wife and Professor of Percussion at MSU\, Gwendolyn Dease\, and their daughters Brooklyn and Charly.
