SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Jazz on a Summer's Day" with Q+A
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening of 1959 Jazz on a Summer’s Day\nFollowed by a Q+A with Brian Kane\nThursday May 28 from 6:30–9:00PM\n\n\nFilm duration: 1h 25m\nRegistration: $20 general admission\, $10 seniors\, $10 students\, and free for members\n\n\nExperience the intersection of jazz history and visual art at MoCACT on Thursday\, May 28\, at 6:30 PM for a screening of the 1959 documentary Jazz on a Summer’s Day directed by photographer Bert Stern. The film captures the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival\, documented in vibrant color and high-fashion style. Rather than a standard concert film\, it unfolds as a visual poem that interweaves legendary musical performances with scenes of the coastal crowds and the America’s Cup yacht races. This landmark documentary serves as a cinematic extension of our current exhibition\, Art\, Jazz + the Blues\, bringing the same energy and rhythm found in our galleries to the screen.\n\n\nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with Brian Kane\, a scholar of music theory and philosophy who specializes in the intersection of sound\, improvisation\, and 20th-century jazz. Kane brings a unique perspective to the film’s legacy\, exploring how these legendary performances continue to resonate within the history of American art. Brian Kane is Professor of Music and Film and Media Studies at Yale University. He earned his PhD from UC Berkeley and was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University before joining Yale University. He teaches and writes about jazz\, sound\, media\, and technology—and how the ways we listen influence how we understand the world. He is the author of two books published by Oxford University Press: Sound Unseen: Acousmatic Sound in Theory and Practice (2014) and Hearing Double: Jazz\, Ontology\, Auditory Culture (2024). Kane leads Yale’s Sound Studies Working Group and is a founding editor of nonsite.org\, an online journal of arts and ideas.\n\n \n\n\nAs you watch the film\, you will recognize the very figures who served as direct muses for several artists in our exhibition. The film features Louis Armstrong\, a vital inspiration for Richard Hunt\, Faith Ringgold\, and Tracy Sugarman\, alongside Thelonious Monk\, whose improvisational genius influenced Sam Gilliam and is captured in John H. Nichols’ Pianorama in our larger gallery space. Additionally\, the appearance of Mahalia Jackson highlights her profound impact on the work of Romare Bearden. Join us for an evening of legendary film and insightful conversation.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Brubeck Brothers Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Brothers Chris and Dan Brubeck—who first recorded together in 1966—lead this dynamic ensemble through straight-ahead jazz inflected with funk\, blues\, and global rhythms. Their chart-topping album LifeTimes showcases the Quartet’s masterful improvisations and adventurous exploration of odd time signatures\, drawing on a legacy that includes performances at major festivals worldwide and collaborations with orchestras from Philadelphia to Singapore. With guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb rounding out the group\, the BBQ honors the spontaneous spirit of jazz while forging its own distinctive path.\n\n\nChoose from two ticket options that offer full access to our exhibition Art\, Jazz + the Blues\, as the galleries transform into a speakeasy-inspired jazz lounge—an immersive extension of the exhibition\, generously sponsored by Conlon Amendola\, Attorneys at Law.\n\n\nVIP EXPERIENCE – $150\n\n\n• Special-edition t-shirt designed by Westport artist Miggs Burroughs\n• Preferred seating\n• Personal bar service with wine\, beer\, and sparkling water\n• Signature cocktails\n• Curated light bites by A·S Westport\nGENERAL ADMISSION – $50\n\n \n\n\n• Standard seating\n• Wine\, beer\, and sparkling water\n• Signature cocktails\n• Curated light bites by A·S Westport\nAbout the Brubeck Brothers Quartet:\n\n\nChris and Dan Brubeck have been making music together practically all their lives. Drummer Dan and bassist\, trombonist\, and composer Chris cut their first record together in 1966—nearly a half century ago. They’ve subsequently played a variety of styles in a number of different groups\, as well as with their father\, jazz giant Dave Brubeck\, and with their own Brubeck Brothers Quartet. With Dan and Chris as the foundation\, guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb\, complete this dynamic quartet. They perform at concert series\, colleges\, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe\, including the Newport\, Detroit\, Montreal\, Playboy/Hollywood Bowl\, and Monterey Jazz Festivals. The Quartet’s last cd\, LifeTimes\,< was a hit on the JazzWeek radio chart where it made the Top Ten list as one of the most played jazz recordings of the year.\n\n\n“The playing that takes place on LifeTimes – the wondrous combination of swing\, melodic majesty\, masterful arrangements and a truckload of truly inspirational solos – just adds a vibrancy and color to songs I thought I knew and loved on a deep level. It turns out that there was still plenty of depth I could have discovered. I just needed someone to point the way and that is exactly what these four gentlemen have done through LifeTimes.” – Seattle Times\n\n\nThese versatile musicians also collaborate with or­chestras all across the U.S. as well as internationally\, including performing with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and the Russian National Orchestra. With Chris Brubeck’s compositions as a vehicle\, the BBQ has joined with chamber groups to collaborate with musicians from the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Russian National Symphony Orchestra.\n\n\nAlthough the Quartet’s style is rooted in “straight-ahead” jazz\, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk\, blues and world music. The group’s creativity\, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music\, which reflects their dedication to melody\, rhythm\, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Sessions: Miki Aoki\, solo piano
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Miki Aoki transforms the recital into a vibrant dialogue across time. From Bach’s architectural clarity (reimagined by Busoni) to Poulenc’s modern wit\, Clara Schumann’s intimate lyricism\, and Chopin’s poetic fire\, this program bridges tradition and reinvention. An evening of elegance\, bold expression\, and fresh perspective.
