JAZZ STANDARD, one of the nation's premier jazz clubs, is keeping the music alive with 'The Flip Side Sessions', a virtual concert series broadcasting fully-produced, pre-recorded shows every Friday from March 26-May 14, 2021.

The record finds BONZIE in a period of self-reflection, treading unfamiliar musical ground as she considers a world poised for change “like the shedding of skin off a snake.”

In a world of ballads and dance breaks, beats and bars and breakdancing also has a place.

The Kennedy Center's free digital series, Arts Across America, continues this spring with a focus on Cultural Leadership and public healing, exploring topics including racial sensitivity, economic equity, mental and physical health, land and water protection, and more.

The event will feature just-added performances & appearances from Tiffany Haddish, Usher, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Charlamagne Tha God, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Susan Sarandon & Pete Buttigieg.

The theatrical display was conceptualized by Spice who co-directed the piece with Xtreme Arts. “I wanted to demonstrate that each time a person betrays me, it is literally a knife or scissors in my back.” Heightening the dramatic effect, Spice draws on the French historical figure of Joan Of Arc who was burned at the stake.

Along with the news, the band has shared the first of those arrangements with a stunning stripped back version of “If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop?” from their seminal 2000 album, Emotion Is Dead.

In celebration of Black History Month and beyond, the Kravis Center is inviting people to enjoy a series of engaging experiences including music, stories, discussions and more created and presented by NJPAC (New Jersey Performing Arts Center). 

The track follows BONZIE’s most recent single “Caves,” which was featured on NPR Music’s “All Songs Considered.” BONZIE also unveiled the tracks “Lethal,” released this past October, and debut single 'alone.'
