Wednesday, September 1st, 2010Miguel Zenón Quartet
Updated: Monday, August 16th, 2010
The Jazz Gallery Presents: Miguel Zenón Quartet
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010 | 9:00 & 10:30 p.m.
$20.00 | $10.00 for Members, buy ticket
Miguel Zenon – alto saxophone, Luis Perdomo – piano, Hans Glawschnig – bass, Eric Doob – drums
Miguel Zenón is embarking on a residency program here at the Gallery that will entail monthly performances on Wednesdays: September 1, October 6, November 3 and December 1, 2010; January 19, February 2, April 6, May 4 and June 1, 2011.
A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Miguel was recently named a MacArthur Fellow, one of the most prestigious honors an American artist in any discipline can earn. We are proud to have given Miguel a platform over the years for many of his projects, including his Rhythm Collective, his Jíbaro premiere, his recent trio endeavor with Jeff Ballard and Lionel Loueke and most recently his extraordinary Esta Plena project. Miguel pursued formal jazz training at Berklee and gained pivotal experience playing with the likes of Bob Moses and the Either/Orchestra. He received his Masters from the Manhattan School of Music in 2001 and has since racked up credits with Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra, Guillermo Klein y Los Guachos, the SFJazz Collective, Ray Barretto, Branford Marsalis, David Sanchez and many more. Melding the indigenous folkloric idioms of his native country with some of the most advanced compositional thinking in modern jazz, Miguel represents the best of a new wave of Latin jazz innovation.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010A Film Unfinished
Updated: Friday, July 23rd, 2010
The Film Forum presents: A film unfinished, directed by Yael Hersonski
Wednesday, August 18 – Tuesday, August 31 • Two Weeks
Showtimes: 1:00, 2:50, 4:40, 6:30, 8:20, 10:10
Tickets available online beginning August 11
“Gratifying in its ethical insistence that there are true things in the world, and that it is necessary for us to know them.”
– Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
“In hushed tones and with a steely sense-ordered methodology, A FILM UNFINISHED stands as a unique film-within-a-film, of significance for the historical value of the raw images, the memories they spur and internal evidence of how the Nazis staged scenes long assumed to be real.”
– Todd McCarthy, Variety
“Required viewing.” – Howard Feinstein, Screen Daily
“Harrowing. A historically invaluable doc.” – John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
“Imagine a Nazi propaganda film so monstrous even a Nazi can’t stomach it.
That’s one possible and highly probable scenario suggested by Yael Hersonski’s remarkable Holocaust documentary.”
– Chris Chang, Film Comment
Since the end of WWII, one copy of a 60-minute (unfinished) propaganda film, shot by the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto in May 1942, labeled simply “Ghetto,” sat undisturbed in an East German archive. A FILM UNFINISHED presents the entire film, carefully noting fictionalized sequences (e.g. dozens of Jewish patrons at an elegant restaurant; a luxurious funeral cortege). The film’s documentary footage is of an entirely different nature: corpses on sidewalks, beggars pacing the streets, children ravaged by hunger. The film includes a revealing interview with the only cinematographer identified with the production, as well as scenes in which now-elderly former residents of the Warsaw Ghetto review footage and occasionally recognize their neighbors. This is a film of enormous import: it documents some of the worst horrors of our time and the efforts (however imperfect) of the perpetrators to recast those events to suggest an entirely different scenario.

ABOUT JOHN FORTE
John Forté began his professional music career when he was introduced to the groundbreaking hip-hop group, The Fugees by member Lauryn Hill in the early 1990s. He co-wrote and produced two songs on their multi-platinum and Grammy-winning album, The Score. Afterwards, Forté released his debut solo album, Poly Sci and followed up with I, John. This year, he has plans to release a new album building on his hip-hop foundation with water, light, sound.
ABOUT VALERIE JUNE
With an angelic voice and a Medusan tangle of dreadlocks as thick and strong as her family ties and her musical roots in the flatlands of West Tennessee, Valerie June is a true original and an emerging star in the legendary Memphis music scene. A self-taught guitar player, composer and troubadour of heartbreak ballads, folk songs, spirituals, soul-stirring blues she has become a mainstay at such events as the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival and the International Folk Alliance Conference. Currently, Valerie is emerging as one of the stars of the ballyhooed new MTV web series “$5 Cover”.
