Jazz people love labels. They just can't help themselves. That's probably because their music defies explanation and often challenges logic. Ask Gerry Malkin, the 63-year old tenor sax player, who calls his ensemble "post bop." Hard to explain, he told me. He used the old Alec Baldwin line: "it's complicated." He threw out themes like stretching harmonies and aggressive interpretation of bebop. Finally, he invoked Coltrane, and then, I sort of kind of understood what I might be hearing on Friday night, September 5th from 8-10:30pm, when he sells out the house at the Arts Exchange with pals and peers whom he called "the best musicians

in the area. Everyone in the band is a major solo artist." Take guest artist Scott Wendholt of Nyack. He's the lead jazz trumpet in the Carnegie Hall Jazz Ensemble who will be jamming with The Gerry Malkin Jazz Collective made up of bass player Mike McGuirk, pianist Jeff Tittson, guitarist Chris Morrison and drummer Bobby Leonard and, of course, Gerry.

But that’s not all. There are nine jazz performances spread over six days... all part of Jazz Fest in White Plains. Check out cabaret singer Alysa Haas at the Arts Exchange on Thursday, September 4th from 8-10:30pm, and then on Saturday, September 6th at the WPPAC, The Blue in Green Project: A Tribute to Miles Davis will be presented by ArtsWestchester and White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) in its the 400-seat theater, start-ing at 8pm. The ground-breaking sounds and styles of Miles Davis will be rendered by guitarist Wali Ali, pianist Bob Baldwin, saxophonist Ray Blue, bassist Harvie S, trumpeter Antoine Drye and drummer Tony Jefferson.

Those interested in catching the ArtsWestchester and WPPAC performanc-es might consider purchasing a Jazz Pass. New this year, a Jazz Pass will grant the holder access to all three ticketed Jazz Fest events at a discount-ed rate. Limited to the first 50 purchasers, buying a Jazz Pass will allow the holder to attend performances by Alysa Haas and The Gerry Malkin Jazz Collective at ArtsWestchester on Thursday and Friday, September 4 and 5, in addition to The Blue in Green Project: A Tribute to Miles Davis at WPPAC on Saturday, September 6 – for just $50 per Jazz Pass. Be there or be square.

and the nomination form.

NOmINAtION DeADLINe: september 19, 2014

Approaching a milestone 50th anni-versary next year, ArtsWestchester invites area companies to join its anni-versary celebration by starting an Arts & Business Partnership program. ArtsWestchester offers a diverse menu of partnership ideas for businesses to support the arts while promoting their companies. Custom programs for busi-nesses to participate in the arts include: arts in the workplace programs, arts event and exhibition sponsorships, corpo-rate underwriting of ArtsWestchester’s monthly newspaper and website, and arts education program sponsorships as well as gallery rentals in ArtsWestchester’s downtown White Plains building.

A partnership highlighted:A new Arts & Business Partnership between BNY Mellon Wealth Management and ArtsWestchester will bring contemporary works on paper from a private collection to Westchester in a free exhibition this October. Drawing Line into Form: Works on Paper by Sculptors from the BNY Mellon Collection will be presented at ArtsWestchester’s downtown White Plains gallery in this unique partnership. The exhibition will offer the public a rare glimpse into a significant collection featuring 69 works by some of the art world’s most recognizable artists. Sol Lewitt, Mark di Suvero, Sarah Sze, Louise Bourgeois, William Kentridge, Henry Moore, and Robert Smithson are among the 59 celebrated contemporary artists that will be showcased in ArtsWestchester’s fall exhibition. “Assembling this collection has been a journey of discovery,” says Curator Brian J. Lang. “Each work of art offers a new perspective and opens a new window into the mind of its creator.”

The oldest financial institution in the United States, BNY Mellon has a strong history of supporting the arts in all of their forms. With a corporate art collection built over 20 years, the organization has acquired superb examples of art in a variety of media including painting, drawing, printmak-ing and photography. “We feel privileged to partner with ArtsWestchester, one of the nation’s leading arts councils to bring artwork from our pri-vate collection to the greater Westchester community,” says Jean Marie Connolly, Senior Director for BNY Mellon’s Wealth Management division. Drawing Line into Form opens to the public in ArtsWestchester’s gallery on October 3, 2014, and will be on view until December 6, 2014.

With over 40 Arts & Business Partnerships initiated since January of this year, ArtsWestchester is well on its way to reaching a 50th anniversary goal of 50 new Arts & Business Partnerships. If your company is look-ing for a creative way to connect with the community, an Arts & Business Partnership might be right for you. To set up a meeting to explore arts partner-ship options, please call Debbie Scates, Manager of Partnership Marketing at 914.428.4220 x315. You’ll be in good company.

When Modern Was Contemporary: The Roy R. Neuberger Collection

The Neuberger Museum of Art (NMA)’s current exhibi-tion, When Modern Was Contemporary, provides a unique insight into the development of modern art in the United States. The show chronicles the pri-vate collection of the museum’s namesake, Roy R. Neuberger. Amassed mainly between the end of World War I and the start of the Cold War, the works remain among the finest per-sonal art collections in a public institution in the United States.

The 850-object collection, on view through December 25, is the foundation of the museum and highlights the extraordinary work of Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, among many others. In conjunction with the exhibition, NMA will publish a 276-page fully illus-trated hardcover collection catalogue that chronicles the exhibited work. For more info, visit: www.neuberger.org.

'Untitled" paper sculpture by Irving Harper

Professionally, the mid-century Modernist designer Irving Harper created some of Herman Miller’s most iconic furniture pieces. His per-sonal work, however, includes hundreds of paper sculptures that Harper has never before allowed out of his Rye home. With an emphasis on sim-plicity and clean lines, the architectural masks and figures are made with simple tools – paper and Elmers glue – yet are extraordinarily imagi-native and detailed. Now, more than 50 years of personal works will be debuted for the first time in Rye Art Center (RAC)’s Irving Harper: A Mid-Century Mind At Play exhibition, on view from September 14 through November 8. According to Katharine Dufault, who co-curated the exhibition with Jeff Taylor, “[RAC] hopes to give the viewer a sense of what it is like to live with the art as the artist intended, as these works represent an extension of his personal life and surround him on a daily basis.” For more info, visit: www.ryeartcen-ter.org.

Film sheds Light on the healing power of Dance

On September 15, the Steffi Nossen School of Dance and Music Conservatory of Westchester will present the Westchester pre-miere of Musical Chairs, a film about the healing powers of dance. Directed by award-winning

filmmaker Susan Seidelman, and produced by Westchester resident Janet Carrus, the romantic film follows a former dance instructor recently disabled in a car accident, and her determination to dance again. The screening will take place in the Music Conservatory’s Stadther Recital Hall in White Plains. Proceeds will benefit both the Moving Wheels & Heels adaptive dance program at Steffi Nossen School of Dance and the Music Therapy Institute of the Music Conservatory of Westchester. For more info, contact the Steffi Nossen office at 914-328-1900 or [email protected].

The Arts Jean Marie ConnollyBNY Mellon Wealth Management has a long history of supporting the arts in all its forms. This fall, BNY Mellon gives the Westchester Community a rare glimpse of major works by some of the most prominent artists of today. “Drawing Line into Form: Works on Paper by Sculptors from the BNY Mellon Collection” will be on view in ArtsWestchester’s galleries from October 3 – December 6, 2014.

Supporting the arts is more than just writing a check (although we like those, too). There are many ways to improve employee morale and com-munity involvement with your own arts and busi-ness partnership. Imagine Westchester without the arts. Then help us make sure that never happens.
