The JAZZ ROOM is excited to announce this explosive show featuring your favorite jazz classics performed by the Trumpet Mafia and an assortment of the southeast region’s top jazz trumpeters. Join us as our trumpeters signal and celebrate the relaunch of the JAZZ ROOM. The JAZZ ROOM provides a casual and intimate setting with tables and a full bar, reminiscent of the classic jazz rooms of yesteryear. We welcome the Trumpet Mafia to the stage, led by Musical Director Ashlin Parker. From its organic beginnings in the summer of 2013 as a group of New Orleans trumpeters getting together at Ashlin’s apartment and courtyard to share practice techniques and support each other’s continued growth, the Trumpet Mafia has become a band of uncommon creative excellence and unexpected arrangements that mix traditional jazz and hip hop styles. Members of this group will be joined by other regional star trumpeters. The trumpet is played over a whole range of musical genres, but the most famous trumpet players inevitably hail from the world of jazz, both traditional and modern. The nature of jazz music highlights the full range of sound that the trumpet can produce. The region’s most gifted musicians face off to recreate the music of trumpet masters like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Hargrove.

Less than two weeks after the September 11th attacks, New Yorkers are still in shock. One of them, an editor named Joan, receives an unexpected phone call from Nick, a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the attack. He’s looking for a writer to help him with the eulogies he must present at their memorial services. Nick and Joan spend an afternoon together, recalling the fallen men through recounting their virtues and their foibles, and fashioning the stories into memorials. In the process, Nick and Joan discover the possibilities of friendship in each other and their shared love for the unconquerable spirit of the city. As they make their way through an emotional landscape, they draw on humor, tango, and the enduring bonds of common humanity. Based on a true story.

If you're Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you've ever done. You "borrow" the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you're truly living. A winner of the AACTNewPlayFest.

“VARIATIONS: Work During the Pandemic” will feature artwork by Thomas Thielemann of Lenoir NC. The exhibition opens September 3, 2021 and runs through October 15, 2021. Thomas Thielemann and his wife Lynda Lea Bonkemeyer met as graduate students working on their MFA at Radford University in Virginia (yes, Virginia is for lovers). They spent their first year of marital bliss in Atlanta, Georgia, living in a Midtown apartment the size of a shoe (but with very attractive shoelaces). On December 31, 1999 they quietly snuck into the town of Lenoir, North Carolina an hour or two before Y2K (no, it was not the end of the world as they knew it) and they have lived there ever since. They share a private studio with their dog Susie and are represented by several galleries around the Southeast and Washington DC. Together, they are raising their very charismatic son Auguste, who has put their heads on the moon. Visit moonheadstudio.com to view the work of Thielemann/Bonkemeyer. The Caldwell Arts Council is located at 601 College Ave SW in Lenoir, NC, and is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Health influences everything from a person's ability to work to medical debt, and health inequalities have big consequences in our community on economic mobility and people's ability to get ahead. Yet the burden of poor health is not evenly spread, because of food deserts, lack of access to insurance, pharmacies and doctors, and the embedded effects of decades of racial segregation and discrimination.

A virtual panel discussion with local experts look at how health inequalities factor into our region's economic mobility, advantaging some and disadvantaging others.

Panelists:

+ Dr. Kinneil Coltman, Chief Community and Social Impact Officer at Atrium Health
+ Dr. Jerome Williams, Novant Health's Senior Vice President of Community Engagement
+ Dr. Colleen Hammelman, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at UNC Charlotte

Moderator:

+ Dr. Byron White, Associate Provost for Urban Research and Community Engagement
