The Harwood Museum and Emerging Cinema proudly present Dear Mr. Watterson

Calvin & Hobbes dominated the Sunday comics in thousands of newspapers for over 10 years, having a profound effect on millions of readers across the globe. When the strip’s creator, Bill Watterson, retired the strip on New Year’s Eve in 1995, devoted readers everywhere felt the void left by the departure of Calvin, Hobbes, and Watterson’s other cast of characters, and many fans would never find a satisfactory replacement. It has now been more than a decade since the end of the Calvin & Hobbes era. Bill Watterson has kept an extremely low profile during this time, living a very private life outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Despite his quiet lifestyle, Mr. Watterson is remembered and appreciated daily by fans who still enjoy his amazing collection of work. Mr. Watterson has inspired and influenced millions of people through Calvin & Hobbes. Newspaper readership and book sales can be tracked and recorded, but the human impact he has had and the value of his art are perhaps impossible to measure. This film is not a quest to find Bill Watterson, or to invade his privacy. It is an exploration to discover why his ‘simple’ comic strip made such an impact on so many readers in the 80s and 90s, and why it still means so much to us today.

In this light-hearted program, TCMG combines music, words and illustrations in The Frog Prince Continued... (based on the children’s book) for soprano, tenor, violin and double bass by Patrick Neher.

The Harwood Museum of Art is proud to present Jim and Patti Day’s documentary films on Robert Cremean whose art installations have been shown at numerous museum’s in the US and Europe. The first documentary film was created in 1996 by Patti Day. Producing the piece “Metaphor and Process” was a 2 year project. In 2013 Jim and Patti Day reconnected with the artist to make a second documentary using contemporary video technology, the new piece “Metaphor and Process Continuum” was created in 2 months. These films document Cremean’s art and his artistic process. Many of his ideas are controversial and will create an interesting discussion following the viewing of the films. Video technology and how it has evolved will be explored. Jim and Patti Day will join Jeremy McDonnell of the UNM Art Department and Louis Moya of the UNM Media.

The Harwood Museum of Art proudly presents: An Evening of Jazz with Kathy Kosins

With a luscious voice wrapped in buttery sensuality, ASCAP award winning and Detroit vocalist Kathy Kosins has entranced fans around the world, with her eclectic musical palette that expands the rich history of jazz.
Raised in the era of Motown, the award-winning Kosins began performing and arranging for producer Don Was in the 1980s. She quickly became one of the nation’s most sought-after session singers, touring with Was as a lead vocalist.

In 1996, she launched her successful debut album, “All in a Dream’s Work” (Schoolkids), featuring a collection of nine originals and a cover of the Miles Davis composition “Four.” Kosins followed that success with “Mood Swings” (Chiaroscuro), an album that expanded Kosins’ profile on the national stage. Her 2006 release, "Vintage," (Mahogany Jazz), captures little known songbook placed alongside a few widely known, yet unexpected tunes from outside the jazz tradition. In March 2012 Kosins released “To the Ladies of Cool,” her debut CD with Resonance Records, to wide critical acclaim.

A past recipient of the Michigan Council for the Arts (Jazz Composer of the Year), Kosins has received grants from Michigan‟s ArtServe advocacy group. Her clinics and workshops teach performance skills alongside business strategies for the independent artist and have been a success at colleges and universities across the USA.

Kosins has recorded with many well-known jazz and R&B artists to include Aaron Goldberg, Reuben Rogers, Eric Harland, Peter Bernstein, Larry Koonse, Tamir Hendelman, Robert Hurst, Jeremy Pelt, Jon Ellis, Howard Levy, Don Was, Michael Henderson, and many others.

She has shared the stage and performed both in the states and abroad, with numerous names in the jazz world. A few notables are: Cyrus Chestnut, Terell Stafford, Matt Wilson, Randy Brecker, Javon Jackson, Larry Goldings, James Moody, Kevin Mahogany, Bernard Purdie, Greg Hutchinson, Eric Harland, Red Holloway, Grant Green Jr., Reuben Rogers, Reuben Wilson, Martin Wind, Donald Edwards, Aaron Goldberg, Tamir Hendelman, to name a few.

Kosins will be joined onstage by New Mexico's premier Jazz Pianist John Rangel. John Rangel's versatility as a jazz pianist is most evident in his work with the following artists; Nat Adderly, Marcus Printup, Ira Sullivan, Bobby Shew, Sam Rivers, Ravi Coltrane, Pharaoh Saunders, Sonny Fortune, Zane Musa, Eric Person, Justin Ray, Ernie Watts, Sam Most, Azar Lawrence, Phil Ranelin, Scott Whitfield, George Bohannon, Al McKibbon, James Leary, Dr. Art Davis, Nedra Wheeler, Tony Dumas, Dwight Trible, Carmen Bradford, James Torme (son of Mel), Blay Amboley and His Afrikan Jazz Band, Tierney Sutton, Rosemary Clooney, Willie Jones III, Ndugu Chancellor, Sunship Theus, Sherman Ferguson, Ralph Penland, Smitty Smith, Joe La Barbera, Derf Reklaw, and Billy Higgins.johnrangel.com

She brings to The Harwood Museum her unique homage to the “West Coast Cool” artistry of these jazz vocalists: Anita O’Day June Christy, Chris Connor and Julie London. She will also perform selected repertoire from the Great American Songbook.
 

"...Her words flow as effortlessly as maple syrup over hot pancakes..."Ralph A Miriello -
Huffington Post

"If Jazz had four seasons, Kathy Kosins would be spring. Something to look forward to, something budding, and most of all something just down right distinct." - Chris DiGirolamo

"...Kathy Kosins has got to be one of the best jazz vocalists around. Her warm, sensuous voice wraps itself round the notes the song and the result is hot chocolate dynamite!!" - Hadley Tituss (Jazz Rendezvous)
