In November, the International Contemporary Ensemble is back at Target Margin with a new installation by Nathan Davis, which explores geologic time with ready-to-use building materials, collaborations with Nicholas Houfek’s ColorSynth, Phyllis Chen’s Tone Grove, and more! On November 4th, take a journey through different visual and sonic representations of textiles, panels, and frames. As Nathan Davis explores geologic time with ready-to-use building materials in his sound design for an upcoming collaborative architectural installation, Planetary Home Improvement, Marianthi Papalexandri’s Duo for Motor and Sound Panels brings audiences through a dynamic spatialization where the performer functions as a mechanism, like clockwork. Phyllis Chen’s Tone Grove translates Anni Albers’ weaving patterns into custom-built drum sequences, creating sounds from hand-cranked music boxes, bamboo, rice, bowls, and hands. Physical, tactile experiences become central to these works. FREE with RSVP. In-person and livestream options available.

Continuing in the music legacies of his father and grandfather, Chris Beck is making a name for himself on the New York scene as a hard-swinging, powerhouse drummer and composer. Beck’s refreshing and soulful vision as an artist is on full display, as is his unique ability to pay homage to the classic straight-ahead style of jazz while infusing elements of his African roots and Gospel upbringing.

This will be the ninth installment of the Englewood Public Library’s 9th annual “Jazz Under the Stars” concert series.

After studying for a degree in Business Administration at the University of Maryland, Eubanks enrolled as a jazz major at Temple University. Relocating to New York, Eubanks formed his own quartet and in 1997 made his recording debut on his brother Robin Eubanks’ Wake Up Call. Eubanks is a veteran of Mulgrew Miller’s band Wingspan, and credits the late piano master as a primary influence and mentor. Duane’s liking for warm and melodic sounds has led him to compose a number of attractive songs, including ‘Lonelyism’, ‘Can’t Wait ’Til Dawn’ and ‘Clairvoyance’, all of which appear on his debut album. The final concert in the series will be the Vince Ector Group, on Thursday, September 9 at 7:30 p.m. For further information, email programming@englewood.bccls.org, or visit the Library’s website at www.englewoodlibrary.org

Christian Turns 50! To celebrate 8-time GRAMMY-winning bassist and our Artistic Director Christian McBride, JAZZ HOUSE KiDS has teamed up with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center to give him a proper roast, something he’s always wanted. A super comedy fan, we are thrilled to oblige Christian by putting him on the hot seat for this one night only. Christian’s good friend and comedian Cedric the Entertainer, will be on hand to serve as roastmaster.

Dinner will be right on stage at NJPAC’s Prudential Hall, followed by an evening full of belly laughs, musical accompaniment and an all-star cast of pros and pals like comic geniuses George Wallace and Jeff Ross on hand to skewer one of the nicest people we know.

All proceeds benefit two organizations close to Christian's heart: NJPAC and JAZZ HOUSE KiDS.
