Rooted in the electronic music community, Give a Beat launches “All Hands on the Decks” fundraising and advocacy campaign on September 10th to raise funds for their pilot “On a New Track” post-incarceration reentry mentoring program and to encourage critical voting in the upcoming election. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the plethora of unjust barriers people face upon reentry and mobilize communities to support criminal justice reform legislation.

Pavilion Will Open for 11-Day _Voting Period and Offer Free Parking to Voters

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and The Music Center jointly announce their respective partnership with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Office to host Vote Centers at two of L.A.’s iconic cultural landmarks: the Hollywood Bowl and the Music Center’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. While currently shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each campus will open to registered voters for an extended voting period from Saturday, October 24–Monday, November 2, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2020, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Los Angeles County voters are able to vote at any Vote Center and no longer need to be assigned to a specific polling place. The new Ballot Marking Device, available at the Hollywood Bowl and The Music Center along with other County Vote Centers, makes it easy for voters to customize the voting experience to fit their needs. Voters can access 13 languages, adjust the touch screen to a comfortable angle, change the display settings such as text size and contrast or go through the ballot using a provided audio headset and control pad.

The Vote Centers at the Hollywood Bowl and The Music Center will provide safe-in-person voting; each venue will follow state and county public health and safety guidelines, including: Voters must wear face coverings (coverings and gloves will be made available for voters if requested); hand sanitizer will be provided upon entry and exit of the Vote Center, as well as at key stations throughout the voting process; all Ballot Marking Devices and commonly touched surfaces at the Vote Center will be cleaned and disinfected after each voter; all in attendance must observe social distancing of six feet while waiting in line and throughout the check-in and voting process; and election workers must wear protective gloves and masks, among other practices. Voters are encouraged to take measures to help expedite check-in and the voting process in order to limit their time inside the Vote Center (i.e., verifying their voter registration in advance, pre-marking their Sample Ballots, bringing their Sample Ballots with them, etc.).

INTERVIEWS

Sly5thAve Interviewed by Fusicology

DOCUMENTARY/INTERVIEW

A new documentary film chronicling the life, artistry and philanthropy of Herb Alpert. In a recent interview with Variety magazine, Alpert reflected upon his appreciation for art as a means of honest expression and his lifelong dedication to supporting musicians and artists: “It certainly is no mystery that I love the arts and I’m doing whatever I can to help support it,” said Alpert. “I think the musicians and the artists of the world are our second responders. They’re the people that make sense out of life and out of what we’re doing in this world. And in order to be a really good artist, you have to be honest. And that’s what I’ve found. I found the artists that I’ve met in my days, and I’ve met a lot of them, I’ve met a lot of great ones, they were all honest with their art. They were always looking for the truth. And I think we could use a lot more truth in this world.” For Inaugural Dean Eileen L. Strempel, the new film is a wonderful celebration of a musical visionary and the School of Music’s namesake. “I am grateful to The Herb Alpert Foundation for this special invitation and look forward to viewing this tribute to Herb Alpert with the School of Music community,” said Strempel. “May his inspiring story instill hope among musicians and scholars as they continue to explore their unique voices.” “Herb Alpert Is…” will be screened using Facebook Live on Thursday, October 1 at 5 p.m. PST/ 8 p.m. EST. Following the film will be a Q&A with Herb Alpert and filmmaker John Scheinfeld. To join the premiere screening and Q&A, please visit www.herbalpert.com promptly at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on October 1. No registration is required.

To view the premiere on Thursday, October 1, 2020, please go to: http://www.herbalpert.com/ promptly at 5PM PST / 8PM EST.

 

 

Patrisse Cullors: Malcolm X Revisited

From the Crenshaw Dairy Mart artist collective focused on trauma-induced conditions of injustice to scripting the season finale of Good Trouble on Hulu, a show about communities of color, women, queer, and trans folk living in Los Angeles, artist, organizer, and freedom fighter Patrisse Cullors thrives on speaking out through art alongside other inspiring creators. Patrisse relies on art to reflect social spaces in ways that words fall flat. REDCAT is proud to present the premiere of Cullors’ Malcolm X Revisited, a new commissioned video work recorded exclusively for REDCAT.

Real change starts in the states. November looms, and it’s about more than getting Trump out of office. As we’ve seen these past six months, those in power at the state level determine who has access to vote, whether criminal police are brought to justice, and how we survive a deadly virus. When I learned about how Future Now Fund works to get progressive legislators elected, enact grassroots policy change, and take back power from Republicans in the states, I had to get involved. So! I’m fundraising to help Future Now flip seats in North Carolina and Michigan with a benefit concert featuring the incredible Kate McGarry & Keith Ganz along with special guests Tony-winner Jason Robert Brown and Melissa Walker from Future Now Fund – please join me!

GET TICKETS HERE

Donate $25 (or more if you can!) for virtual access to our live concert on October 3, which I promise will leave you feeling galvanized, moved, and dare I say even hopeful about the coming month.

Such luminaries on the national Jazz scene — Christian McBride, Orrin Evans (both Philadelphians),

Christian McBride, Orrin Evans, Terri Lyne Carrington and Emmet Cohen — will participate in the third annual Jazz Philadelphia Summit on October 9 and 10, which is virtual this year. Regional and national arts innovators will honor the city’s jazz scene, get inspired about how musicians,presenters, and educators have pivoted duringthe pandemic, and discuss innovations around the future of jazz education and performance in Philadelphia and beyond.

The Summit’s theme this year will be Resilience. “Philadelphia’s musicians and artists have a well-earned reputation for supporting and strengthening one another. In challenging times such as these, when we are navigating a pandemic and struggling for social justice, that spirit of unity is more important than ever.” says renowned jazz bassist Gerald Veasley, president of Jazz Philadelphia. In light of COVID-19 and the major defunding of Philadelphia’s arts sector, organizers at Jazz Philadelphia believe that the Summit can be a space for learning the myriad ways musicians and educators have survived and thrived during this time and uplifting stories that represent our culturally-diverse city.

The Summit’s keynote speaker will be Terri Lyne Carrington, celebrated drummer, multi-Grammy, award-winning recording artist, and founder of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Studies.

Philadelphia’s own six-time Grammy award winner Christian McBride, will be offering inspiring remarks, and pianist-curators Orrin Evans and Emmet Cohen will share their experiences with creating live streaming series.

Other confirmed speakers include: composer-pianist and MacArthur fellow Vijay Iyer, community education innovator Michael O’Bryan, USC professor Dr. Ron McCurdy, and Philadelphia Orchestra Assistant Principal Bassist, Joseph Conyers. The Summit will feature a screening of Full Mantis, the documentary on the life of world-renowned percussionist Milford Graves, a jazz/spoken word performance by legendary guitarist, Monnette Sudler and Philadelphia’s 2020-2021 Poet Laureate, Trapeta B.

Mayson, as well as live and video performances from some of Philadelphia’s outstanding talent such as Laurin Talese and George Burton. Musicians will also have the opportunity to have one-one-one sessions with pros such as jazz community stalwart, and Berks Jazz Festival General Manager, John Ernesto.

Musicians, jazz enthusiasts, advocates, funders, and the arts and culture community are gathering virtually for high-level discussions, hands-on workshops, feedback sessions, and performances. Sessions will be held from 10:30 until 4:30 on Friday and 11:00 until 4:30 on Saturday, with evening “Chill” sessions in the evening. RSVP is required and pay-what-you-wish tickets are available through the Jazz Philadelphia website at www.jazzphiladelphia.org.

Save CATALINA JAZZ CLUB amid COVID-19!

In response to the citywide closures, the Catalina Jazz Club has set up this digital tip jar in our fight to survive. Their doors have been closed since March 14th, and each day the fight grows harder to pay faithful staff, the talented tech crew and consummate chefs what they’re worth — which is everything. But there are some blues you just can’t sing away, so they humbly ask that you contribute whatever you can to help cover the rent of our Sunset hot spot and spare us from having to go dark for good. While great music can soothe the soul, it’s your gracious donation, no matter the size, that fills their heart.

Please contribute at GoFundMe.com/SaveCatalinaJazzClub
They’ll be sure to have your table ready.
All their love,
Catalina, Manny, and the Staff
