SUMMARY:First Monday Jazz: Clif Wallace Big Band
DESCRIPTION:First Monday Jazz: Clif Wallace Big Band \n\n\n\nLaunched in 2013\, First Monday Jazz is APL’s longest-running program\, featuring emerging and established Chicago musicians and vocalists on the first Monday of every month. \n\nThis year\, First Monday Jazz 2025: Big Band Summer takes us on a journey back to the golden age of big band jazz in Chicago. As the 1920s exploded with musical energy from the South mixed with a growing nightlife culture\, our city became an epicenter where the raw spirit of early jazz blossomed into the power of larger ensembles. Imagine the scene: bustling cabarets\, elegant ballrooms like the Savoy (on 47th and King Drive)\, and grand theaters such as the Regal hosting musical forces that would define an era. In this electric atmosphere\, bandleaders like the legendary Earl Hines helped shape the big band sound\, known for its tight arrangements\, bold horn sections\, and driving rhythm perfect for dancing. \n\nOur October artist is Clif Wallace Big Band \nA native of Fort Wayne\, Indiana\, Clif Wallace has called several places across the Midwest\, South\, and East Coast home—an experience that likely shapes his versatility as a drummer\, composer\, bandleader\, and DJ. Clif Wallace has become one of the city’s most in-demand drummers for a wide range of musical genres. \nRecently\, Clif toured with saxophonist and clarinetist Victor Goines and vocalist Tammy McCann. He has performed with notable artists and ensembles like the Chicago Jazz Orchestra\, Lyric Opera of Chicago\, Black Ensemble Theater\, Orbert Davis\, Marquis Hill\, Robert Irving III\, and many more. In 2018\, Clif assembled the Clif Wallace Big Band\, an ensemble that performs a musical repertoire that appeals to a wide range of listeners. \n\nAttendees may start setting up their spots starting at 6:30pm. The program begins at 7pm.  \nWe encourage bringing your blanket or a low-profile lawn chair to relax in the front seating on the grass. \nFor APL events on the Arts Lawn\, restrooms are available inside the Green Line Performing Arts Center. \n\nAll APL programs are free and open to the public. To help us continue to provide these programs and build a hub for arts & culture on the South Side\, we appreciate donations of all sizes. Your support sustains the rich ecosystem of artists that make the Arts Block so vibrant. To make a donation\, please visit our giving page.

SUMMARY:Big White Fog
DESCRIPTION:Big White Fog \nTheodore Ward’s Big White Fog is the big shoulders on which A Raisin in the Sun stands. First completed in 1938\, funded by the Federal Theatre Project\, and influenced by the South Side Writers Group that cultivated such iconic talents as Richard Wright and Margaret Walker\, Big White Fog drove American realism forward by contending with discontent. \nThe United States is on the cusp of the Great Depression and\, like many\, the Mason family is struggling. Between the precarious economy and racial violence on Chicago’s segregated South Side\, something’s got to give. As different generations strive to secure the Mason family’s future\, catastrophic decisions are made\, leading to a heartbreaking twist and a blistering condemnation of America’s Big White Fog. \nCourt Theatre Resident Artist and the nation’s preeminent director of August Wilson\, Ron OJ Parson\, opens the 2025/26 season with this rich portrayal of Black life on Chicago’s South Side. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, October 4 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, October 4 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, October 5 at at 2:00pm\n\nArtwork by Ed Watkins.
