SUMMARY:Conversation with Jerry Torre: Author of The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Jackson Heights Library for a special conversation with Jerry Torre. In 2018\, Torre published his memoir The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens\, co-written with Tony Maietta. The book was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and became a top-selling title in gay-themed literature during its first weeks on Amazon\, with appearances and events held across the country. The event will also include a screening of the documentary Grey Gardens\, directed by Albert and David Maysles. Jerry Torre is a Queens-based artist and author known for his connection to the iconic Grey Gardens estate\, where he worked as a teenager in the early 1970s. His experiences there placed him at the center of one of the most memorable stories in American cultural history — later chronicled in the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens. \n\n\n(718) 899-2500\nGet directions to event.\n\nAUDIENCE\nAdults

SUMMARY:Pages in the Park: My Dog Just Speaks Spanish/Hello\, Tobi! with Andrea Cáceres
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our free story time programming at Travers Park with Andrea Cáceres! \n  \nThe families—and dogs—Tobi meets at the park come in all sorts of shapes and colors and sizes\, but this affable pup likes them all. \nEvery day\, Tobi goes for walks with his family. At the park\, he likes to say hello to everyone—small families with big dogs\, big families with small dogs\, tall families with tall dogs\, short families with short dogs. There are families who look alike and families where everyone is different; families who are quiet\, some who yell or sing loudly\, and some who like to play together or create. Even when there are so many people and dogs at the park that Tobi can’t tell which dog belongs to which family\, he still loves them all! But there’s always one family he loves the best . . . With welcoming\, childlike illustrations and a breezy text\, Andrea Cáceres invites us on a walk through the park that celebrates all kinds of families\, with an endearing pup whose world is a friendly place indeed. Hello\, Tobi! \n  \nA young bilingual immigrant meanders through her city park\, translating for her beloved dog\, in a heartwarming picture book debut. \nWhen Aurora came to the United States\, she learned to speak English. But her spaniel\, Nena\, did not. Sweet Nena loves to give besos\, and she knows only Spanish. She doesn’t know SIT\, but she does know SIÉNTATE. She doesn’t know WAIT\, but she does know ESPERA. And while TREAT doesn’t mean anything to Nena\, she can certainly sniff out a POSTRE! At the park\, Nena may not know what the other dog owners are saying\, but she and Aurora will always understand each other just fine. Borrowing from her lived experience\, Venezuelan-American author-illustrator Andrea Cáceres offers a gentle\, charmingly illustrated ode to love that extends a hand—or a paw—to readers who may feel displaced or are learning a new language themselves.

Led by co-directors Michael Thomas (saxophone\, composer) and Edward Perez (bass\, composer)\, this group performs a repertoire of original music penned by its leaders and described by the New York Times as “soaring\, self-propelling original compositions”. The Terraza Big Band features many of New York’s most in-demand jazz musicians and can be heard at venues throughout New York City in addition to its monthly residency at Terraza 7\, where the ensemble “injects a liberated\, interactive atmosphere into the bar…the audience was fully onboard\, but the ideas were entirely new” (New York Times). The band’s debut album\, One Day Wonder\, was released in May 2019 and received a Grammy nomination that year in the category of “Best Large Jazz Ensemble”. This recording was hailed by Jazz Timesas being “the sort of debut that should make big-band fans not only take notice but hunger for more.” \n \nAbout Michale Thomas: \nGrammy-winning saxophonist\, composer\, and arranger Michael Thomas has been an active member of the New York City jazz community since arriving in 2011. Holding degrees from the University of Miami\, New England Conservatory\, and The Juilliard School\, Michael has performed throughout the United States and abroad\, including tours in Central and South America\, Australia\, Europe\, Japan\, and Russia. He has appeared as a sideman with Brad Mehldau\, Dafnis Prieto\, Nicholas Payton\, Miguel Zenón\, Etienne Charles\, and Jason Palmer\, and Michael’s talents can be heard on over 30 recordings. According to the New York Times\, Michael writes “energetic\, tuneful music for both combos and large ensembles”\, and All About Jazz describes his playing as “a particular revelation\, as he provides superb\, well-crafted solos”. \nMichael has been commissioned by school and professional ensembles throughout the United States and abroad\, and he is currently a member of the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop in New York City. Since 2015\, Michael has co-lead the Terraza Big Band\, and the ensemble’s GRAMMY-nominated first album\, One Day Wonder\, was released in May 2019 on Outside In Music. Michael’s work has been recognized by DownBeat magazine as well as the “Keep an Eye” competition in Amsterdam\, NL\, and in 2016 he was a winner of the New York Youth Symphony’s First Music commission series. In addition to his work as a big band composer\, Michael also regularly leads his quartet\, with a new live album of original music scheduled for release in spring 2020 on Giant Step Arts. Since September 2018\, Michael has been on faculty at the University of Hartford’s Hartt School of Music as an Artist Teacher of jazz saxophone in the Jackie McLean Jazz Studies Institute. \n \nAbout Edward Perez: \nGrammy-winning bassist\, Edward Perez resides in the cultural crossroads of Queens\, New York\, where he leads parallel careers as a composer\, arranger\, and bassist. His works have been performed by the likes of The Silkroad Ensemble\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Alan Gilbert\, Galician gaita powerhouse Cristina Pato\, Latin- jazz legend Ignacio Berroa\, Latin-grammy nominated Peruvian singer Jorge Pardo\, and oud phenom Kenan Adnawi. His music has been played in venues ranging from the smallest nightclubs in New York to the Kennedy Center\, David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center\, Massey Hall\, Chicago Symphony Center\, El Gran Teatro Nacional de Lima\, Damascus Opera House\, and Boston Symphony Hall. \nAlso a sought-after performer\, Edward Perez has been hailed by Jazz Times for his “great dexterity” and characterized by Latin Jazz Corner as “a diverse bassist that walks between traditional and Latin jazz worlds with ease.” Perez has toured through more than 20 countries sharing the stage with jazz luminaries such as Lee Konitz\, Greg Osby\, Seamus Blake\, Lionel Loueke\, and also Latin jazz powerhouses Paquito D’Rivera\, Ignacio Berroa\, and Arturo O’Farrill.
