Miami, FL.- Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida’s wraps-up its stunning 2015-2016 season with a magnificent Spring Gala Ballet with a neoclassical program of demanding and original works by its Artistic Director, Vladimir Issaev.

This program will leave you heady with the beauty of the dancing and the music. Audiences will enjoy the artistry and virtuosity of Mary Carmen Catoya, Daniel Sarabia, Lillian Hill and Hernan Montenegro with the entire troupe performing Glinka’s “Suite Fantastique”; Verdi’s “Four Seasons”, along with original works such as “A Celebration of Klimt” including the wondrous music of Handel and “Taiko”, with its accompanying Japanese drumming. Plus, the program will include the beautiful piece “Endless” set to Mahler’s Adagio.

The Spring Gala will be an occasion to honor Dr. Jules Oaklander, a philanthropist and extraordinary supporter of the arts in South Florida to whom Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida is dedicating this season finale.

Just before the Gala, Mary Carmen Catoya and Hernan Montenegro will be performing at the International Stars Gala in Lotz, Poland for the 25th Anniversary of the “Ballet Foundation of the City of Lotz” on April 23 of 2016.

Artistic Director Vladimir Issaev will also attend as member of the jury of the International Ballet Competition that precedes the Gala. The troupe has been getting the best reviews from the specialized press since Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida opened the season with “Ballets with Latin Flavor” this past October obtained the Miami Life Award for “Best Ballet Performance of the year”, followed by nine sold out performances of The Nutcracker and most recently by the unforgettable performances of Coppelia.

The Spring Gala will be presented at the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center on Saturday May 14 at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, May 15 at 5 p.m. at the Amaturo Theatre at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Global sea levels have risen about eight inches in the twentieth century. The rate of annual rise has doubled in the past few decades and estimates are that sea levels could rise one to six feet by the end of the century. Efforts are underway to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities and prepare them for the adverse impacts of short- and long-term flooding. Not as much attention, however, has been given to protecting heritage resources or preparing for their loss.This presentation examines the threat of sea level rise to historic cities and cultural resources and explores strategies for adaptation or mitigation.

BEACONS: BY JOÃO ENXUTO AND ERICA LOVE

Opening April 13 at the ArtCenter/South Florida, New York-based artists João Enxuto and Erica Love’s institutionally-focused work forms the basis of their new show “Beacons.” The exhibition builds upon their continued interest in the role technology plays in mediating the power dynamics between institutions and their publics.

Running through June 19, 2016 at the ArtCenter’s Project 924 gallery, the exhibition features a 15- minute video Institute for Southern Contemporary Art (ISCA): a proposal for an institution that utilizes an algorithm to analyze the contemporary art market in order to automate a production plan to create the means for artists to work otherwise. This strategy outlines the way in which artists can successfully make inroads into the global art market. The video—with scenes shot in Atlanta and in Miami Beach—sets up the framework for the exhibition where viewers can expect to engage with the gallery as a system of objects, artworks, and sensors––relaying both the signal and noise of data monitoring.

Lecture Series Created to honor Dr. Bernard and Jeanette Gordon Halperin
Temple Israel to host Professor Joseph Epstein

April 2016/Miami, FL/– Temple Israel of Greater Miami will welcome Professor Joseph Epstein who will kick off the inaugural lecture for the Dr. Bernard and Jeanette Gordon Halperin Memorial Lecture Series on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at 4pm. The topic of the inaugural lecture is Jewish humor. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Professor Epstein is an essayist, short story writer, and editor. The author of more than 20 books, he was a lecturer at Northwestern University from 1974 to 2002 and is an Emeritus Lecturer of English there.

He is a contributing editor at The Weekly Standard and a long-time contributor of essays and short stories to The New Criterion and Commentary. In 2003, he was awarded a National Humanities Medal by the National Endowment for the Humanities. He originated the Enter Laughing feature which examines Jewish humor. William F. Buckley once wrote that he is “the wittiest” essayist alive.

This lecture is being underwritten by the Halperin families who created this lecture series to honor and remember their parents; Dr. Bernard Halperin and Jeanette Gordon Halperin.

“I have vivid memories of their passionate discussions about, among other things, Jewish culture, politics, movies, and books. Quite often, the most compelling lessons my parents taught me were sugar-coated with laughter,” said son Keith Halperin. “My siblings and I wanted to remember their love of laughter, and with Joe Epstein’s wit and wisdom, we could think of no better guest speaker to kick of this lecture series.”

Additional lectures will be planned in the future.

About Temple Israel of Greater Miami:

Founded in 1922 and located just north of Miami’s downtown business district, Temple Israel is Miami’s oldest Reform congregation.

In Racing Extinction, a team of artists and activists exposes the hidden world of extinction with never-before-seen images that will change the way we see the planet. Two worlds drive extinction across the globe, potentially resulting in the loss of half of all species. The international wildlife trade creates bogus markets at the expense of creatures that have survived on this planet for millions of years. And the other surrounds us, hiding in plain sight — a world that the oil and gas companies don’t want the rest of us to see. Using covert tactics and state-of-the-art technology, the Racing Extinction team exposes these two worlds in an inspiring affirmation to preserve life as we know it.

One of the longest-running ballroom dance competitions in the United States, The Grand National Championships is celebrating its 46th year. The 2016 event is sure to be South Florida’s most “gala” ballroom dance extravaganza ever with more than 500 of the top professional and amateur dancers from across the country gathering to compete.

In addition to its 45-year tradition of bringing together amateur and Pro-Am competitors to vie for the title of Grand National Champion, this year’s competition will feature the 2016 World Professional Ten Dance Ballroom Championship. The top-ranked professional couples from around the World will compete for this most prestigious title – World Champion.

For an unprecedented second year in a row, authorized and sanctioned under the auspices of the World Dance Council (WDC) and the National Dance Council of America (NDCA), the competition is organized by Peter & Cassandra Schneider, in conjunction with the 46th Grand National Dancesport Championships, one of the longest running Dancesport Championships in the USA. Only three times before in the history of the World Professional Ten Dance Championships has the USA been honored to host these outstanding dancers from around the world!

The venue of the Ritz-Carton is an idyllic location, close to Miami International Airport, yet a world apart on its own tropical island paradise. Cassandra Schneider, Executive Secretary of the National Dance Council of America and former United States Amateur Champion, together with Peter Schneider, former Bavarian Latin Champion, and together World Exhibition finalists, will host this most prestigious event. With the support of their amazing staff at their company, Dance America, Inc., they work assiduously to guarantee the event will be one that the city, state, and country will be proud of.

In addition to the World Professional Championship, there are a multitude of other Open and Closed Championships—in all divisions from Professional, Amateur, Pro-Am, Senior, and Junior—beginning Thursday October 20th and culminating in the crowning of the Professional World Champions on Saturday evening, October 22nd, 2016.

More than 20 countries will be represented at the competition. A legendary panel of adjudicators—from USA, Scotland, Italy, England, Germany, Austria, Norway, Russia, and Canada—will be present, many of them former World Champions themselves, to officiate and determine the Champions of the most physically difficult event in the World.

Ten-Dance Championships encompass the five International Standard dances: Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, and the five International Latin Dances: Cha Cha, Samba Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive. Couples in this Ten-Dance division must be masters of not only one division, Latin or Standard, but they must be unsurpassed in quality and artistry in all ten dances, making this one of the most difficult divisions in the world of dance.

Competitors will be announced one month prior to the event as their nominations from their respective countries are received.

Representing the voices of thousands of participants in hundreds of meetings over three years of development, the Miami-Dade County Parks and Open Space Masterplan addresses the interconnectedness of life, and the potential for parks to provide an infrastructure that builds individual, community, and ecological resiliency and well-being. The drawings illustrate a shared vision for an integrated system of great parks and public spaces, natural and cultural areas, all linked across the region through greenways, waterways, complete streets and sidewalks. Three fundamentals guide the plan:
• Placemaking – creating dynamic, resilient communities for all people
• Health and Fitness – enhancing individual, family, and community health and well-being
• Conservation and Stewardship – protecting open space, connecting children to nature, developing park stewards, and advancing conservation
Most importantly, the plan establishes a process of inquiry designed to support ongoing exploration to address the challenges and opportunities of the future, while preserving the significant ecological and cultural legacy of one America’s largest and most diverse park systems.

This classy music venue—former home to dance clubs Power and Glo—has the fairly dubious distinction of being located next door to a Western Beef supermarket. But indoors, the spartan 700-person-capacity space distinguishes itself with exposed beams, lounge-worthy lighting, and a column-free main floor with great sight lines from both the wide downstairs area and the carpeted balcony. (When seats are added to both levels, the place maxes the lookout.) Bookings are consciously eclectic, but overall reflect the evolved vibe of the neighborhood with bling- and controversy-free hip-hop acts, mellow songstresses, and veteran critical darlings.

Santiago and musical director and salsa legend Chino Nuñez on the timbales.

Hip-Hop Artist and Wordsmith Nick Grammar to Perform at the Sunday School Festival at Sidebar Miami 4/17/16

Cost: $16.82 – $22.09

Miami based hip-hop artist and wordsmith Nick Grammar will be bringing his MC skills to the Sunday School Festival at Sidebar, Miami. Grammar will be one of six artists opening the show for Rakim, a highly regarded figure in the hip-hop culture.
Nick Grammar is a man of many talents and he will be putting his MC skills on display Sunday, April 17th at the Sunday School Festival at Sidebar. Doors open at 4:00 p.m. and the event ends at 12:00 a.m. ( midnight.)

Suffice to say he is not a man of few words. In fact, Nick Grammar has a lot to say and he articulates it with the discipline, focus and precision of a sensei warrior. Grammar’s ability to master the language of hip-hop and rap verbiage comes from his love of the music and a desire to dispel any and all myths about this particular music art form. Rap and hip-hop for many years had the reputation of having come from street performers who forewent the benefit of higher education to pursue a life in the world of music. Grammar’s illuminating performances prove that particular line of thinking to be false and that it takes a lot more than just hanging out on the corner to carve out a successful career in music or any profession a person may choose as their life’s work.

“Having the opportunity to leave a footprint is important to me. The contribution I would like to make to Hip-Hop is conveying the significance of originality in one’s music and style, reminding people that hip-hop is the culture and rap is the musical and lyrical art form born out of that culture,” said Grammar. Nick’s dedication and hard work ethics are a mainstay of his life and play a big role in why he has been able to realize many of his goals and see them come to fruition. “I do not let a day go by without giving thanks and then I proceed with the work at hand,” said Grammar.

When asked how he felt about opening for Rakim, who is regarded as one of the most influential and skilled MC’s of all time, Grammar was quoted as saying, “I’m excited. Rakim represents the foundation for lyricism in hip-hop content and style. It was Rakim who brought the microphone to the frontline of the stage show.” Music has always been at the forefront of Nick Grammar’s goals, and yet, it is just one of the many pursuits he has excelled in. Grammar is also a mixed martial artist with distinction, a Golden Gloves champion and holds a black belt in Brazilian Ju-jitsu. He is currently on tap to open O2 Bar – a fitness and nutrition center in the Miami area. Opening O2 Bar may arguably be one of the best and most auspicious endeavors to date, for Grammar. Having risen above great odds with a life that has been as storied as the imagination would allow, at present, it would be fair to say that Nick Grammar is a man whose time has come.

To help Challenge participants with the planning, writing, and execution of their projects, The Miami Foundation will host a series of public workshops with Urban Impact Lab and Design Thinking Miami.

For more information and to submit an idea, visit ideas.ourmiami.org. To schedule interviews or discuss the Challenge with The Miami Foundation, please contact Meieli Sawyer at 305-668-0070 or msawyer@weinbachgroup.com.

for the fourth year in a row, The Miami Foundation is launching the Public Space Challenge, a contest for ideas that create, improve or activate local gathering places like parks, playgrounds, sidewalks, basketball courts and plazas in Greater Miami. The Foundation invests $305,000 to make the top ideas a reality. Health Foundation of South Florida will support winning ideas increasing access to fresh food and healthy lifestyles; the Office of Miami-Dade County Commissioner Juan C. Zapata will support ideas in West End. Anyone can submit and idea – individuals, groups, public agencies, nonprofits, private companies – at ideas.ourmiami.org from March 15th through April 21st.

“The success of Greater Miami’s exponential growth depends on our ability to develop and enhance the spaces that keep us connected as a community,” said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “Residents strongly supported our advocacy push to help increase the county and city parks budgets last year. That energy, plus excitement around catalytic parks like Underline and Ludlam Trail, prove that this community is fervently demanding activated, safe and beautiful open gathering places. The Challenge puts the power in residents’ hands to create these important spaces themselves.”

The Challenge has funded projects big and small from Homestead to Hialeah, Wynwood to Miami Gardens. Most of them are submitted by local residents committed to improving Greater Miami, like David Hazim, whose passion for disc golf led him to submit a winning idea to create a course in his neighborhood at Homestead Air Reserve Park. Dejha Carrington, a 2015 Challenge winner, sought to activate the Miami skyline as a place to unite the local community. She created a public art project on the side of the InterContinental Miami. The hotel’s 19-story digital wall lit up with original art moving in sync with contemporary, instrumental music streamed online for a community-wide experience. More than 1,000 ideas have been submitted and over $500,000 invested in winning ideas since the Challenge’s inception.

“This is a movement toward creating a county bursting with great public spaces – a county where every Miamian is a 10-minute walk from an urban retreat to share with their friends and neighbors,” said Stuart Kennedy, director of program strategy and innovation. “This year, we want to cast an even wider net, so we’re encouraging creativity to reimagine what local public spaces can be.”

Miami, FL.- Imago “Art in Action” is a new cultural space opening on April 6th in the heart of Coral Gables. More than just another gallery, Imago Art in Action create and introduce an all-in-one multipurpose concept of cultural space with a purpose of contributing to growth and human development through the promotion of visual and fine arts and literature and committed to making inspiring experiences out of artistic expressions.

Ever since Miami´s cultural life began booming, the city seems friendlier and more humane to this kind of initiatives. Made up by Marlene Lebrun, Juanita Antonorsi, Raúl Lira, Thais Marquina and Trina Oropeza; a group of Venezuelan entrepreneurs specialized in many areas of arts and culture with more than 30 years of experience, which they´ve used to set the basis of this new cultural proposal.

This all-in-one space, designed for the growth and amusement of each as a unique and social individual, offers children and adults the possibility of enjoying art and literature while channeling talents and gaining knowledge, making it a great contribution to the city.

The center includes two areas from the world of arts -Visual Arts and Hispanic-American literature- into four vital spaces for its functioning: The Gallery, The Library, The Workshops and The Designer-Objects Store.

Imago Art in Action will offer a permanent programming where the community will be able to enjoy visual arts exhibitions, a small library and lecture room, gallery talks, cinema forums, classes, a store and special events designed for guest of all ages.

“ON” the opening exhibition.

“ON” has been established as the first exhibition which Imago “Art in Action” will use to formally open its cultural center; Marisela Chivico, who is responsible for the text, said: “When a new space that is allocated to disseminate culture and to facilitate the merging of reflection and enjoyment of art emerges, a light and a flame are turned on; and so we thought it favorable to name our first project “ON”.

Chivico points out that “the showing is comprised of ten Venezuelan artists linked to speeches engraved in a diversity of interests, all related to contemporary art, with proposals that address and answer to current dynamics and aesthetics” Harry Abend, Pedro Terán, Nadia Benatar, Sigfredo Chacón, Vicente Antonorsi, Patricia Van Dalen, Isabel Cisneros, Javier León, Paulo Castro and Rafael Rangel will show the best of their small formats in an exhibit beginning April 6th through the end of July.

Sprung! Spring Beer Festival 2016

Posted on    by

This year’s Sprung! Spring Beer Festival had a new home: and old RC Cola Plant in Wynwood (Miami)! Sounds sexy, right? But it makes perfect sense with the craft beer boom in Wynwood. Wynwood Brewing is across the street and Concrete Beach and J. Wakefield Brewing are just a few blocks away. And after a super soggy and muddy Grovetoberfest a few months ago, it’s cool that this one changed venues to a concrete base!

My wife and I arrived promptly on time, one of my best virtues! First stops, J. Wakefield and Concrete Beach, right next to each other. And we hit Wynwood Brewing shortly after, duh, locals first! I was actually sporting about a month of unkempt beard and an unruly head of hair so I could fit in with the Wynwood brewers (along with MANY others). My wife hated that, so call it a sacrifice!

Along with the Wynwood favorites, lots of other local and Florida breweries were representing: MIA, Big Storm, Barrel of Monks, Hatuey, Coppertail to name a few. There were also dozens of awesome must stops at every beer festival. Founders, Green Flash (including that awesome Alpine Brewing), Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas (thanks to the girl there that helped me kill the Apple update out of nowhere), Saint Arnold and Sweetwater to name just a few.

Cooking and beer demos, a really nice lineup of food trucks (yum, roasted corn on the cob), fun games including one that reminded me of the sweeper arm in that show WipeOut, homebrewers, a fun band, and of course the VIP Area. For me, the VIP area compared to prior years was a little different. We thought (and overheard many similar remarks) that the food part was a bit of a letdown while the VIP beer offerings were a major upgrade. Think Black Ops and some rare sours and other specialty options, was great. And the VIP area also offered some shady relief on a super angry hot day!

We saw some old friends and made new ones. I also took pictures of some really cool t-shirts the attendees were wearing! Check those out and the photo album below. I’m definitely a fan of the new location too! A must drink Miami event! See you next year!

An evening with Oscar-nominated director Josh Fox (GasLand)

A Film Night by and supporting ReThink Energy Florida and Urban Paradise Guild- two groups working locally to advocate for clean energy solutions and working against new fossil fuel proposals- we are working for a statewide ban on fracking in the coming year.

In How to Let Go of the World and Love All The Things Climate Can’t Change, Oscar Nominated director Josh Fox (GASLAND) continues in his deeply personal style, investigating climate change – the greatest threat our world has ever known. Traveling to 12 countries on 6 continents, the film acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away?

The Program:

7 PM- VIPs Only
Arrive for VIP Meet-and-greet with film director Josh Fox and a food and wine reception with a minimum $50 donation ($20 VIP tickets for students) and table beverage service during the film.

Proxy Selves: a fast-paced, prompt-driven writing workshop with Girls’ Club writer in residence Jan Becker

“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.”
– Walt Whitman, “Song of Myself”

Proxy Selves is a poetry/creative nonfiction workshop that will explore and give voice to the multitudes of self contained within each writer. Participants will explore how relationships, politics, setting, time and other factors alter others’ perception of us as individuals, and how projection of self is altered under different circumstances. Participants can expect to produce a series of short poetry/creative nonfiction pieces, gain inspiration for further writing after the workshop concludes, and become more comfortable with developing a drafting process. Writers of any level are welcome. This generative workshop is designed to silence the inner critic that plagues most writers, and allow access to an uninhibited writing voice–or as Whitman might phrase it, sound a “barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.”

Jan Becker, local writer and poet, has been selected as Girls’ Club 2015/2016 writer-in-residence. Becker will work collaboratively with Girls’ Club to present various public programs and contribute writings in conjunction with the exhibition Self-Proliferation, curated by Micaela Giovannotti.

Jan Becker was born in a small coal-mining town in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and subsequently grew up in a Marine Corps family on military bases all over the United States. She completed her BA in English, Creative Writing and Rhetoric with a concentration in Global Cultures at SUNY Binghamton, where she was awarded the Andrew Bergman Prize in Creative Writing, and the Alfred Bendixen Award for her creative honors thesis.

Overweight and obesity rates tend to be higher among African American children compared with White children, with obesity rates increasing faster at earlier ages and with higher rates of severe obesity. Approximately 60 percent of Florida’s overweight children have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

The walk will be followed by a pop-up health and wellness fair that will be held at Gibson Park (401 NW 12th St, Miami, FL 33136). Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in the fit clinic, face painting, games, family Zumba class, as well as learn ways to improve the health and well-being for the whole family.

NMA is a 121-year-old not-for-profit organization that represents the interests of over 40,000 African American physicians and the patients they serve. The JWBMS is the local arm of the NMA dedicated to fulfilling their mission to promote optimal health for communities of color.

“The health and wellness of Florida’s children should be our primary focus. There are many chronic conditions associated with obesity that are easily preventable with a healthy lifestyle,” said Dr. Nelson L. Adams, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Sunshine Health. “I am committed to raising awareness about this growing epidemic, and I look forward to working with our partner organizations to provide health education and resources to the community.”

The Walk A Mile through Historic Overtown hopes to encourage organizations and adults to serve as community mentors by walking with the children and inspiring them to keep their minds and bodies active.

“Community service drives our company’s culture,” said Chris Paterson, CEO of Sunshine Health. “We believe it is important to positively impact the lives of our members in the communities where they live. This important initiative was introduced to us by our Board Chairman, Dr. Adams, and Sunshine Health is proud to be a sponsor each year.”

“We would like to commend Dr. Nelson L. Adams and Walk a Mile with a Child for bringing attention to the health and wellness needs of African American children residing in Historic Overtown. “ Chairman Keon Hardemon, District 5, City of Miami.

“The primary focus of the 100 Black Men of South Florida is the intellectual and physical health and welfare of our children, says Stephen Johnson, President of 100 Black Men of South Florida. “It is therefore important to us, as men in the community, to walk with Dr. Adams and our children to promote healthy living through historic Overtown. We are proud to support this event”
Sponsors and community partners include: Sunshine Health, Wellmax Max Medical Center, 100 Black Men of South Florida, Sigma Alpha chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

Just My Height Art Shows® brings fine art to young children’s eye level by displaying professional quality fine art at 36 inches high. Talking Off the Wall Magazine has been documenting the South Florida street-art scene for the past two years. These two organizations have joined forces to produce “Secret Doors,” a fine art show that will proudly feature 15 of South Florida’s best street artists and muralists to benefit ArtCares for Kids.

Sponsored by The Florida House Experience, VITAS Healthcare, Artist & Craftsman Supply, Aventura Mall and others, the show will feature family friendly street- and mural-style artwork.

The opening will feature games and hands-on art activities designed to engage patrons with the exhibits. Persons of all ages—from 2 to 102—are welcome to enjoy complementary light bites and age-appropriate beverages, including sponsored adult beverages provided by Peroni beer, with an open bar from 6 to 8 p.m., and a cash bar from 8 to 10 p.m.

A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to ArtCares for Kids, a Miami-based organization that takes art activities to children undergoing cancer and other intensive medical treatments at Jackson Memorial Holtz Children’s Hospital and Baptist Children’s Hospital. ArtCares for Kids will receive copies of a special coloring book comprised of the artwork being shown at the event. The “Secret Doors,” coloring book will be given to these children in an effort to raise their spirits and occupy their hands with bedside art projects.

With the increasing number of new digital technologies, is it a surprise that everything is being disrupted, most importantly distribution practices? Audience consumption habits are changing and we can argue that film distribution is shifting from a supply-led to a demand-led market.
There is also an abundance of content which is only matched by the complete accessibility to it, anytime, anywhere, the options are endless. There are no barriers to distribution, only to awareness and engagement. You need to allocate time and resources to engage people with your work. This is the workshop to help you learn how to independently distribute and be an entrepreneurial filmmaker.

Topics Will Include But Not Limited To:
– Armed with a good story and good storytelling skills, you should be able to profit if you know how to take responsibility for your creation, how do you do that?
– How to adapt to an ever-changing industry that requires great creativity as well as business savvy?
– How do you utilize the virtually endless avenues of self-distribution, like VODs, iTunes, YouTube, and Vimeo (just to name a few)?
– How do you create your own theatrical release or should you bypass it all together?

Meet our Speaker: Ricki Cikowski
Rick co-produced and edited the PGA Nominated, crowd-sourced, theatrical documentary Far Out Isn’t Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and it can currently be seen on Netflix.
Rick Cikowski is a co-founder of the Corner of the Cave Media. Rick has directed some of today’s biggest names in music, sports and entertainment including 50 Cent, Q-Tip, Kid Ink, Pitbull, Ludacris, Gary Sinise, Tyrese Gibson, Grandmaster Flash, Kobe Bryant, Jae Crowder and Lawrence Timmons to name a few.
He was also recently editor on History Channel’s highly acclaimed 2-hr special Alcatraz: Search for the Truth and was executive producer, co-director and lead editor on Real Change: Artists for Education which aired on CBS in 2014. Rick was also the editor for Behind The Music: Ludacris and BTM Nicole Scherzinger, which was shot/edited/produced/written through the Cave and aired on VH1.

South Florida Jazz presents “Great Women in Music” 4/9/16

South Florida Jazz presents “Great Women in Music”
Saturday, 04/09/2016 – 08:00 pm – 11:00 pm

3100 Ray Ferrero Blvd,
Davie, Florida 33314

Cost: $40

On April 9 at 8 PM, South Florida Jazz presents “Celebrating Great Women in Music,” starring Lynne Arriale, Carla Cook, and Grace Kelly, at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Boulevard in Dania, FL. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students with ID) at southfloridajazz.org or (954) 462-0222.

Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell have established themselves as iconic performers and composers. The depth and authenticity of their music has profoundly influenced generations of musicians and touched audiences worldwide.

Pianist Lynne Arriale, vocalist Carla Cook and alto saxophonist/vocalist Grace Kelly have been moved and influenced by the strength and power of these legends. They celebrate these great women of jazz by sharing their unique reinterpretations of popular classics with passion, soul and sensitivity in a magical evening of empathetic collaboration. Joining them are bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Jordan Perlson.

These artists are highly innovative and original leaders. Lynne is an established star with worldwide status; she was the first prize winner of the 1993 International Great American Jazz Piano Competition, and soon launched her touring and recording career. “Lynne Arriale’s music lies at the synaptic intersection where brain meets heart, where body meets soul. As a result, there’s a directness, a purity, an unalloyed honesty that makes us listen and therefore “see” anew. She is one of jazzdom’s most intensely unique voices.” – JazzTimes

Carla Cook, from “Motown,” Detroit, is daring. She is a jazz singer/songwriter who sings standards beautifully — but she doesn’t stop there. Cook is willing to put a jazz spin on songs not written by traditional jazz composers. Songs that, until you hear her sing them, you’d never imagine could be interpreted as jazz. That willingness to simply sing what she loves is what gives Cook her signature style. “Carla Cook…a mad-loose straight ahead jazz diva with a gospel soul, big band heart, classical cool and improvisational hot …. and what a beautiful voice … a warm amber-hued contralto.” – JazzTimes

Bostonian Grace Kelly is a vivacious saxophone prodigy and composer with incredible polish for her tender age (23). She’s not looking to be like anyone else. “Got my own thing,” she sings over an urban, trance-like groove. Although the singer and saxophone player has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike as a jazz musician, her work shows an artist interested only in playing what she loves, labels be damned. “Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, wit and feeling. She has a great amount of natural ability and the ability to adapt… the hallmark of a first-class jazz musician.” – Wynton Marsalis
