2007 Summer Concert Series: Freddy Cole Quartet July 19

CGCC Community Arts Program
ThursdayJuly 19 at 8 p.m.The 2007 Summer Concert Series presents the Freddy Cole Quartet in a memorable evening and tribute to the Songbooks of Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Gladys Shelly and, of course, the immortal Nat "King" Cole. Jazz vocalist and pianist Lionel Frederick "Freddy" Cole, younger brother of Nat "King" Cole, has been captivating audiences with an alluring style all his own. The New York Times raves: "Freddy has an impeccable sense of swing... he is, overall, the most maturely expressive male jazz singer of his generation, if not the best alive." Freddy currently leads a trio comprised of himself, guitarist Royce Campbell, drummer Curtis Boyd, and bassist Elias Bailey. Tickets are $25 - $35 in advance and $40 at the door. However, due to the sellout nature of the Summer Concert Series, advance tickets are advised.

When the Levees Broke: Spike Lee Katrina film July 19


Free Conscious Cinema Film Screening: When the Leeves Broke As the world watched in horror, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television news, director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster, but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort. Lee was moved to document this modern American tragedy, a morality play witnessed by people all around the world. The result is WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE: A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS. The film is structured in four acts, each dealing with a different aspect of the events that preceded and followed Katrina's catastrophic passage through New Orleans. Following the film on each night will be a hurricane preparedness course. This is a Family-Friendly event with a minimum age with an adult being 13. PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE.
